Animal Companions are at the Heart of Our Home
At Sierra Vista, we believe connection to animals is an essential part of daily life and holistic memory care. Nestled in the foothills of Santa Fe, our home is known not only for its warmth and charm, but for its resident goats—gentle companions who bring joy, calm, and purpose to our elders. Animal engagement provides powerful moments of comfort, interaction, and sensory stimulation that support cognitive health and emotional wellbeing. Whether helping with morning feedings or simply enjoying quiet time beside the garden fence, elders are encouraged to build real relationships with our animal family. This type of memory care creates a vibrant rhythm of life, where nature and nurture intertwine. Unlike traditional assisted living facilities, Sierra Vista offers a dynamic environment rooted in routine, choice, and the therapeutic presence of animals. Elders experience reduced anxiety, improved mood, and increased physical activity through animal-assisted connection—proven outcomes that are deeply aligned with our values of personalized care and compassionate support. It’s all part of what makes Sierra Vista a true home, where life with dementia is met with dignity, creativity, and community.
