Overview of Vista Hermosa

Vista Hermosa provides home care and memory care in Santa Fe, NM. Memory care offers a supervised setting for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, while home care supports a person in their own residence.

Vista Hermosa opened in 1998 and offers memory care homes. The outdoor area includes a putting green, a small garden, and a pen for a pony, goat, and ducks, giving residents access to these specific outdoor features.
