Highland Cove is Utah’s first retirement community to provide an on-site Lifestyles program helping seniors remain healthy and active within the comfort of their own residence.
“This new program is the first of its kind,” Marianne Hales, Highland Cove Lifestyles Coordinator, said, “and it helps our residents stay at the ‘top of their game.’”

In addition to having a Lifestyles Coordinator, we also have a full-time physical therapist, massage therapist, podiatrist and other health care professionals.”
Hales concluded, “We invite the community to come and see ‘the healthy good life’ at Highland Cove.”

I love living at Highland Cove because I chose to "Be There" in lieu of keeping up a big house and two-acre yard. Being pampered and having gorgeous Utah mountain views is also a perfect joy! You too will agree after the first visit.
