My daughter Rebecca was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's 6 years ago. She required 24/7 care and she moved in with me in 2020. The local Alzheimer's association recommended a few facilities that might be a good fit for her. One of them was Vista Cove. I toured the facility and it was lovely and the staff was very friendly. I was able to arrange respite care for two trips I had planned and Rebecca was very happy there.<br>After a year of caring for her at home, it became clear that I wasn't going to be able to provide the care she needed given my age and physical abilities. I met with the administration and within a few days arrangements were made and Rebecca moved to Vista Cove.<br>It was obvious after a few weeks that Rebecca was actually thriving in the new environment and being well taken care of. Even though there have been some staff changes, her care has continued to be excellent. She is a happy camper. The staff give her a lot of love and the other residents seem to enjoy her company. She is very active, constantly walking around with a smile on her beautiful face and she enjoys the karaoke with Sean on Wednesdays. I am so grateful that she is safe and loved by the entire staff; administration, med techs, caregivers and support staff. They have become family to both Rebecca and me. Thank you Vista Cove for your embrace of Rebecca.

The staff is caring, patient, and very professional. You can tell they truly care about their residents and handle challenging situations with compassion and skill. It’s reassuring to know loved ones are in such good hands.

I know this place well, and actually perform their weekly for the guests. They (the guests and residents) are an interesting crew, that unfortunately do change, yet they are well taken care of. The folks in charge have good hearts, focus on and want to help each individual. It’s in a lovely location and in a beautiful town. Patrick, who runs it, is exceptional.

We placed my brother who has Alzheimer's/Dementia in Vista Cove in November 2025. He has received wonderful personalized attention from the caring staff. They go out of their way to care for his needs to make him feel loved and accepted. I would highly recommend Vista Cove to anyone who is looking for a place for your loved one for it is more of a home than a facility.

Putting my loved one with Alzheimer’s into a memory loss facility was one of the most difficult and painful decisions I’ve had to make. Watching the friendly and helpful staff at Vista Cove care for my husband has made it less so. They’re providing care that I could no longer do at home in a loving and caring manner.
