Assisted Living Communities in Los Lunas, NM

"Haven Care Birch House is the one I'm kind of leaning towards right now for my husband. They do both assisted living and memory care, but we were looking for the memory care portion of it. I like that it's a small family-type of setup, and the lady who gave us the tour and talked to us was one of the main people who do it, and she seemed to be very knowledgeable in how to handle memory care for the clients. It's a small house, only six people max, so they have limited outside activities. It's kind of a home setup, so the amenities are basically very hands-on, one-on-one help as needed. I did not smell any inappropriate odors or that type of stuff. It seems to be kept very clean and well-organized. The kitchen, the dining room, and the living area were all kind of one large area."

"My experience with MorningStar of Rio Rancho seemed a little rushed. The woman was probably busy that day, but I felt like I needed to hurry. It was a beautiful place, very, very pretty, and very well laid out. It was less friendly and more formal though, which is fine. The staff was well informed, but a little rushed. The model rooms were gorgeous. I do not recall seeing one that was lived in."

"I went to BeeHive Homes of Albuquerque. The overall experience was very positive. The person I met with, her name is Joy and was very compassionate, and did a great job of listening and presenting me with the information that helps to make decisions that I was able to take with me. I got a tour of the different room sizes in the facility, and that was very nice to see. She was very thorough and gave me her personal cell phone number because I was having some issues with locating where my mom had been taken. And she was able to help me figure out where she was. So I feel like she went above and beyond more than she needed to do. Incredibly clean, and very well maintained. There were no obvious signs of disrepair and it was very, very nice. They were residents that chose to be out and about in the common rooms and what have you. The staff was very friendly. Anytime they would walk by someone they would talk to us, and say hello. So, it felt like a very welcoming environment. I did not try the food, but one of the things that were included was a menu. The information that was with me, and that was very interesting. They're the only facility that I toured that gave me that information, which I thought was pretty cool."

"I was very impressed with MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Albuquerque. They do a very good job. The apartments were in good condition, they had different types of rooms you could select, however, at the time they had no availability. The staff was very good, she was excellent. I've had friends who have had loved ones there and they were impressed. So I'm going by their recommendations. They have a whole list of activities and a regular weekly schedule of things to keep the patient involved. Very good. I like their space, their outdoor availability for a patient, it's all on one floor. However, the drawback is, it's very far from my home. To go visit would be a 30-minute drive."

"My wife and I visited this facility to explore opportunities for assisted living for her parents. We met Brittany, the Admissions Director, who spent two hours with us. She was very informative and gave us a comprehensive tour of the facility. Brittany answered every question honestly and completely, very professional! She had eleven years of experience at the facility and obviously believed in and was proud of the level of service provided there. Brookdale looks like it could be a good future option for our family needs."

"Morada Quintessence was very clean and very orderly. We had no complaints about it at all. The staff seemed conscientious and were working hard. The person who gave me a tour was a good guy. They had an enclosed lawn type area that I thought was pretty nice. The apartments were nice, too."

"I thought the tour at Life Spire Assisted Living - Albuquerque NE was very positive. I met with a male director. He was very helpful and informative. We didn't sit down and talk like I had done at the other two places. I kind of told him about the situation as we were moving around. So that was a different experience. It's a very nice facility. It's a little farther from where my mom and dad are currently. The rooms were very nice. They're kind of set up to look more like. a bedroom as opposed to an apartment-looking type of room. So there were a lot more furnishings on the walls and things to make it look more like a room that somebody would live in and not just come and have to occupy. It was nice. I met the cook, and I saw the area of outside grounds. It does seem to have a smaller ground area than the other two places. So I think that might be partly because they're located more in a residential area."

"Good Life has a locked down kind of facility aside their regular facility. It just looked a little bit scary as there’s people wandering around aimlessly, so I didn’t like that at all. I didn’t see any staff in there. When I finally saw someone, she said there weren't any openings -- which was a relief. There weren’t empty rooms to look at, and there were no activities going on during the time I was there. "

"Good quality care by people who really do care. "

"We toured Beehive Homes of Bosque Farms' assisted living. They showed us both living arrangements for the assisted and the memory care. They took us into all the buildings and showed us their garden area. It was very nice, very clean, and seemed very organized. They're also very friendly."

"My mother has her own room at Senior Living Systems. It is very nice. The staff is great. They have a bistro, and she gets really good food. "

"We found our mom a home in Alma Assisted Living. She has been there for a couple of months now. It's a small and privately owned assisted living home with four bedrooms and a couple of people there. So far it is good. They have a nurse that goes there a couple of times a week and a doctor that goes in on weekends to do evaluations. It is not like living in a medical community. It is more like a house with medical help going to the house. They're providing excellent service for my mom. She likes watching TV and she likes eating their meals as far as I know. The rooms are spacious and very homey. They don't feel like you're in a medical facility, they're very comfortable rooms. I would recommend them to others 100%. "

"Westwind House was a wonderful place. They are very caring, very nice, wonderful people. They have everything you want. Their food is delicious. The place is very clean. If I would ever come to a point that I would go somewhere permanently that is where I would want to go. The owner, Maria, is just a very sweet lady. "

"My mother has been at Little Rose's Board And Care Home for a little while, but so far it's good. It's more like a home. They dispense her medications and provide her three meals a day plus snacks. They take her to the store and where she needs to go. She likes the food. It's affordable for her, but it would be nice if they would provide some activities for them."
