What to Consider About Assisted Living in Carlsbad

Carlsbad has about 29,000 residents and is located in Eddy County, New Mexico. The city is home to the North Mesa Senior Recreation Center, which provides an array of activities and amenities to Carlsbad's senior community, which makes up about 14% of the population. This senior center hosts events like defensive driving classes, aerobics and yoga classes, board and card games and quilting sessions.  

Seniors who need assistance with some daily living activities may reside in one of Carlsbad's three assisted living facilities. These communities, which are officially referred to as assisted living facilities for adults, are governed by the New Mexico Department of Health.   

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Carlsbad

  • Carlsbad is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
  • Carlsbad Municipal Transit System provides fixed routes, demand-response and ADA paratransit service to Carlsbad residents, making it easy for seniors who do not drive to navigate the city. CMTS maintains a fleet of 21 transit vehicles, 18 of which are ADA-accessible with wheelchair ramps and tie-downs. Service is available on weekdays, and fares are based on the type of transit needed.
  • The Carlsbad area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Carlsbad Medical Center, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 
  • New Mexico imposes state income tax on all forms of retirement income, including government pensions and Social Security benefits. However, seniors whose income is below a certain threshold can claim a tax deduction to minimize or eliminate this tax burden.  
  • According to data gathered by the American Lung Association, ozone pollution is very high in the Carlsbad area. Seniors who have respiratory conditions that are exacerbated by poor air quality may want to stay indoors on high ozone days
  • Carlsbad may be an attractive option for assisted living for seniors with tight budgets, as its overall cost of living is about 15% below the national median and 10% below the statewide median. Housing and utilities both cost considerably less here than in the average U.S. city, which may result in relatively affordable assisted living costs.
