You walk into Alpiine Vista and its a little unassuming but I'm here to tell you that this place is a gem. The three women managing the place, Medora, Britany and Kaitlyn are the most compassionate, charming and funny ladies you would ever want watching over your loved ones. I just can't say enough about how caring and hard working they are. I would give this place ten stars if I could. The rooms are spotless and spacious enough to be comfy. My friend Paul has lived there for the past couple of years and he has really enjoyed all of the people there and looks forward to the many activities they offer and to top it off he actually brags about the cooking in the dining room. I want to give a hearfelt thank you to all of you for going above and beyond in caring and helping in the countless ways you have for Paul and my family. read more

The treatment of the residents is unbearable and unbelievable. It's a senior apartment, yet they try to tell the residents what they can and cannot do. Who they can and cannot have in their apartments. In the lease, you are paying for 3 meals served in the dining area, apartment cleaning services, laundry, activities, as well as rides to appointments. This is so inaccurate...... no cleaning, activities, food is horrible, no laundry, tenants were told there family would have to clean their apartment if they couldn't! read more

Hard to know what to really say here. Its very existence is predicated on a depressing reality; getting old...too old to really take proper care of yourself. My grandfather lived in this facility for awhile. He was an irascible and cantankerous old man who had lived far longer than I ever expected (seriously...97? Wow). Nevertheless, Alpine seemed to take reasonably good care of him and I have to believe that at least some of the staff does this work because they truly believe in what they're doing. However, this place is exceedingly institutional - the decor (beige on beige)...the food (bland on bland) and just the general feel of the place. It's not the sort of place that fosters anything that approaches a zest for life...to me (I'm not 97), it just reminds me of the inevitability of death. Like I said...depressing. That said, I don't know how else you would be able to run a mainstream retirement care facility like this and still get children to bring their parents there. I suppose this place is exactly what it's supposed to be. R.I.P. George Comeau (1915-2012) read more
