Live Well

Living well in the Santa Barbara area means embracing a vitality of both mind and body. Vista residents enjoy a wide range of opportunities that intellectually and physically stimulate their lives. On any given morning you’ll find residents enjoying tai chi, yoga or just walking around our beautiful campus. Many also take part in popular intergenerational programs with our neighbor Santa Barbara Christian School, in which students and residents have lunch together, exchange ideas and work on educational skills.

Vista’s commitment to the lifelong wellness of its residents is most evident in its Fitness & Aquatics Center. Specially designed for the fitness needs of seniors, the Center boasts innovative programs designed for the indoor swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, strength and conditioning room and massage therapy room. Personal trainers are available to work with residents, emphasizing strength, balance, coordination, cardiovascular fitness … and fun. The Center also offers regular classes on a variety of health education topics, like nutrition and coping with Arthritis.
