What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hobbs

Set in the southeast corner of New Mexico, Hobbs is just an hour away from the famous Carlsbad Caverns, where seniors can take tours guided by rangers. Seniors make up  9.6 percent of the local population and the area offers three assisted living facilities to serve them. The facilities are regulated and licensed through the New Mexico Department of Health, Division of Health Improvement, Health Facility Licensing and Certification Bureau. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hobbs

  • Seniors on a budget will appreciate the cost of living in Hobbs, which sits at 16 percent lower than the national average and 11 percent lower than the state of New Mexico.
  • Hobbs has one of the highest crime rates in the country with only 4 percent of United States cities ranking as more dangerous. Based on FBI reported data, a resident's chance of becoming a violent crime victim is one in 164 and the chance of being a victim of property crime is one in 20.
  • Public transportation is provided by Hobbs Express, a shuttle service that offers fixed route and on-demand service. Senior discounts are not offered but U.S. veterans ride free with a Veteran's ID or New Mexico driver's license that displays veteran status.
  • Hobbs offers a milder climate, ranging from an evening low of 27.9 degrees Fahrenheit in January and a daytime high of 93.5 degrees in July. The area receives a Sperling's Comfort Index of 68, reflecting the many days each year the temperature maxes out between 70 and 80 degrees. The desert setting keeps precipitation low, with an average of 15.5 inches of rain and 3.6 inches of snow annually.
  • The state taxes all retirement income but offers tax rebates to seniors over 65 with a modified gross income under $22,000. Seniors with at least $28,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses for the year qualify for a tax credit and exemption.
  • The Hobbs area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Lea Regional Medical Center and Nor Lea General Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Hobbs

New Mexico does not offer financial aid for assisted living room and board but there is a program in place to help with long-term care services. Centennial Care, the state's Medicaid program, offers the Community Benefit program to help seniors avoid nursing home care and includes a self-directed option that allows participants to choose their caregivers. Further assistance can be obtained via the Older Americans Act through the Non Metro Area Agency on Aging.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in New Mexico page.
