At Vista Manor there’s someplace like home – only better. Seniors needing a little help with daily needs, but far too independent for long-term care have found a perfect home at Vista Manor Assisted Living facility in Wilbur.

This ten unit facility not only boasts full meal and housecleaning service, but residents can receive help laundry depending on their needs and preferences. Registered Nurse Kathy Cobb oversees the individual medical needs of each resident, with licensed nurse aids working as daily caregivers.

Staff, along with a resident council, works together on the activity schedule, which includes Sit-ercise, games, day trips, Bible study, barbecues, music, visiting talent, and parties. Spacious commons areas are great for family get-togethers, group activities or a relaxing game of cards with friends. A large yard and shaded patios welcome guests and occupants alike, and raised garden spots give all a place to apply that green-thumb.

Those wishing privacy can relax in their personalized apartment. All units have a kitchenette with cupboards, sink, refrigerator and microwave for resident convenience. Each apartment boasts a living room with a bay window and a bedroom with built-in wardrobe. Bathrooms are designed with safety in mind. Handrails and a large walk-in shower with seating area make independent living a breeze. Residents bring their own furnishings and decorate their apartments to their pleasure, including the cheery welcome mats and signs on their doors.

Vista Manor is located near the local school and daycare, churches, keeping residents close to children and civic activities such as ballgames and concerts. School groups often perform in the commons areas, which are always ready for guests. The cookie jar is always full and awaiting the next visitor at Vista Manor.
