What is the move-in process?

Prospective resident and/or family visits and tours facility. If tentatively interested, prospective resident is assessed for appropriate level of care. Prospective resident then selects his/her apartment. Rental rate is determined and agreed upon. Move-in packet is presented to the family or responsible party, including the admission agreement and the physician's report. Before resident is admitted, all documents must be completed and delivered to Administrator. Any medications are brought to the Health Services Director prior to moving in. Move-in date is established. Family member(s) or responsible party meets with Administrator to go over and sign administrative documents. Resident must turn in their ID/Insurance/SS card prior to move-in. Resident Care Assessment and Planning. An initial level of care is established prior to the resident moving in. The Care staff carefully monitors the resident during the year to determine if his/her care level has changed. The family or responsible party will be kept informed of any observed changes on an ongoing basis. If the resident is assessed at a higher or lower level, their rental rate will be adjusted accordingly after a discussion with the family and resident. After a year from the resident's admission date, a Care Plan Conference will be organized. The purpose of this conference is to go over the resident's care, involving Dining Service and Activities staff to prepare a comprehensive Care Plan for each resident.

As an Administrator of the Vistas Assisted Living and Memory Care Community, I get the opportunity to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Vistas. I am responsible for ensuring we are in compliance with all state and federal licensing regulations, and ensuring our focus is always centered on our residents' care. I believe the most important aspect of my job as an administrator is creating a culture of respect and support for our staff, which creates a homelike environment for both our staff and residents.

I am originally from a small town in South Texas on the Texas Mexico border where my family has farmed and ranched for 6 generations. I moved to Redding with my wife after graduating from Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Science over 20 years ago.

In addition to work experience I have also completed a Bachelors in Health Administration from Simpson University, and a Master’s Degree from the University of Southern California.

When I am not working as an Administrator, I enjoy raising my two sons on our ranch in Anderson. My family and I enjoy playing sports, riding horses, hunting, and taking advantage of living in an area with so many outdoor activities. In addition to outdoor activities, I enjoy restoring vintage trucks, and hotrods.
