High-Quality Health Services at The Overlook

Long-term care at The Overlook extends over several areas of health services, including programs available both on- and off-campus. While residents receive these health care services at The Overlook, various programs are available to residents at their homes outside of the community. 

Adult Day Program

The Overlook Vista Adult Day Program or The Vista Club, provides programming and social engagement for adults with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. The Vista Care Team designs the activities to help members connect, form friendships, and create positive moments that uplift members.

Caregivers receive the benefit of respite to relax and recharge. They can focus on their needs knowing their loved one is in a caring and safe environment.
