Vista Living Care
A Compassionate Approach to Memory Care
At Vista Living Care, we believe in creating a home where elders feel safe, valued, and cared for like family. For over 20 years, our dedicated team has provided compassionate memory care that goes beyond just meeting needs—we focus on bringing joy, dignity, and purpose to every day. Our homes are designed to offer warmth, comfort, and beautiful surroundings, ensuring a nurturing environment for both elders and their families.
A Safe & Comforting Home for Your Loved One
We know that choosing memory care for a loved one is a big decision. At Vista Living Care, safety, comfort, and personalized support are at the heart of everything we do. Our intimate, family-style memory care homes provide a secure and nurturing setting, where highly trained dementia-certified caregivers offer expert support with kindness, patience, and respect. Whether your loved one is living with dementia or simply needs extra care, we are here to offer reassurance, stability, and a true sense of home.
Our Story
In 1998, Joe Nachtrab and his team set out to change the way dementia care was provided. Long before memory care became a widely recognized term, they transformed Sierra Vista into a dedicated home for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia, pioneering a new approach to compassionate care.
Today, his son Luke along with a seasoned team carries that vision forward, ensuring Vista Living Care remains a place of stability, innovation, and heartfelt service. With three welcoming homes in Santa Fe and Las Cruces including The Arbors, Sierra Vista, and Vista Hermosa we continue our mission of creating a nurturing environment where residents and their families feel truly supported.
Our Guiding Compass
At Vista Living Care, family is not just something we talk about—it is who we are. It is in the way we care, the way we listen, and the way we show up for one another every single day. We believe that true care comes from the heart, and we are honored to provide a home where elders and their families feel safe, valued, and truly loved.

Flexible
Care is not just about routines. It is about being there when it matters most—whether in the quiet of the night, offering comfort, or during the day, providing a reassuring hand. We go beyond schedules, responding with kindness, patience, and grace. Our focus is not just on tasks but on the people we care for, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and truly supported.
A
Authentic
True care is something you feel in your heart. It cannot be taught or faked—it comes from a deep place of kindness, patience, and dedication. We choose this work because we believe in it, because we love it, and because the people we care for deserve nothing less. Every gentle touch, every reassuring word, and every shared moment is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to providing comfort, dignity, and love.
M
Mentoring
No one should walk this journey alone. Just as we guide and nurture our elders, we also support each other. We lift one another up, share wisdom, and encourage growth—because caregiving is not just a job, it is a calling. We believe in learning from one another, in teaching with kindness, and in growing stronger together. Through every challenge and every triumph, we stand by each other, just like a family does.
I
In Love
Love is at the center of everything we do. It is in the way we welcome each elder into our home, the way we celebrate their stories, and the way we embrace the joy found in small, everyday moments. We find love in a shared meal, in a kind word, in laughter, and in simply being present. To care for someone is to love them, and we are honored to share that love every day.
L
Listening
Sometimes, what someone needs most is to be heard. We listen not just with our ears, but with our hearts—offering patience, understanding, and unwavering support. We know that trust is built over time, through moments of deep connection and quiet reassurance. Every voice matters, and every story deserves to be honored.
Y
Yes
Saying yes means choosing hope, possibility, and presence no matter what. Yes, we will always be here. Yes, we will always care. Yes, we will do whatever it takes to bring peace, comfort, and dignity to those who need us. We do this not because we have to but because we believe in it with all our hearts.
Yes, love and compassion have no limits. And yes, we will always walk this journey together.
A Symbol of Home, Care, and Connection
Our logo, the Triad, represents home, family, and a strong foundation built on connection and care. It reminds us to embrace life’s simple joys—we laugh, we cook, we dance. Most importantly, it symbolizes the heart of Vista Living Care: our dedicated staff, the elders, their families, and the Nachtrab family, all coming together as one.
“The facility itself is full of life and laughter. It feels like a home, not an institution. They even have pets for their residents to love on”
-Heidi
A Community Built on Love and Gratitude
We love what we do, and it shows in every moment we share with our elders and their families. Caring is not just our job. It is our passion, our purpose, and our greatest joy. We are deeply grateful to the families who trust us with their loved ones, allowing us to be part of their journey. Over time, caregivers, elders, and families become more than just a community. We become family. Here at Vista Living Care, love, respect, and connection bring us together, making our home a place where everyone belongs.
