"My sister moved to Haven Care Cottonwood. They have a beautiful yard, but my sister won't go out. It's just accessible. It meets her needs. She has her privacy, and that is what I like. I didn't want something with a big dining area. It's good for somebody who's got dementia because they take good care of them and they get good care and they take people for all levels of care. This is a good place for her because she doesn't bother with it and she doesn't like to do activities. I think they treat the people well. What I like about it is, that she gets good care because there are only five people there and most places are overloaded and understaffed. She paid less than the other places for that level of care. She gets almost the care that you get in a nursing home with less money."

"My wife is now at BeeHive Homes of Albuquerque. She is in her second month now. One of the reasons she's there is because it's close to our house. It's on the same street our house is on, and so I go there at least twice a day. I think BeeHive Homes is very good. The nursing staff there doesn't give a lecture to the patient. They just go in and fix whatever is needed. I have tried their food. It's not bad; I had a little bite this morning 10 minutes ago. They're changing meals right now because they're changing cooks. My wife is in a room by herself. We took stuff there, which we're allowed to. We even went and bought a small portable refrigerator to put stuff in because she didn't have a refrigerator in her room, and they let us do it. Her room could hold a large bed if you had one, but I wouldn't want to put a larger bed in there. The facility is peaceful. The staff members are good folks. They care about you. They'll listen to you when you need to talk. They have a special microphone that you put around your neck. It's got a little button that you push when you need help. They have a couple of people who take care of the ones in one building, and I think part of the ones in the second building, but they will come and see you within 10 minutes. They even had a guy come by and work on my wife's toes because she was not walking well yesterday. He had an appointment with three others in our building to work on their toes. Or if that wasn't what they needed, he would give them exercises to do. They take people outside to walk around if they're able to walk. My wife can't do too much. But one day last week, I was walking in the front door and 20 feet away, my wife was sitting at the piano playing it. With regard to dining, you can eat out of the room in the dining room, or you can eat in your room."

"MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Albuquerque was excellent on all levels, but it was expensive. I just looked at the assisted living side. It's a newer facility, so everything is really nice facility-wise. It's all well maintained, bright, and shiney. I think it's been open for about less than five years, so it was a very nice facility. If it wasn't so expensive, it may have been my number two. Price-wise, it's just too much. It was going to be at least $12000, and it would probably end up being more. They have amenities like barbershops and beauty salon. Morningstar was top notch all the way down the line, but it was pricey. They had in-house physical therapy and occupational therapy. They had a barber/beauty salon, and they had the same type of activities as other places. It was really nice. We had so many options in terms of floor plans that were available. It's conveniently located for us, my family, and my parents' doctors. I got to talk to one of their residents, and she had only been there for about 2-3 months. She said they take really good care of her. It appeared to me that the staff took good care of their residents, based on my interaction with one of the residents and that was without anybody else from the facility around. I just ran into her out into the courtyard in front of the facility, and struck up a conversation. "

"I toured Brookdale Tramway Ridge, and it looked very good. The person who gave me the tour was very good and had a lot of information. The facility looked very clean and organized. They have two stages for memory care. They have an apartment for someone who is in the early stages of dementia and a group living in another section, so I found it interesting that they have two different options for memory care."

"I toured MorningStar of Rio Rancho's assisted living. The first thing I noticed was that the parking lot wasn't even half full, while every place I ever went, there weren't any parking spots available. When I walked in there, it was so bright. I just like the way it was laid out. The apartments are all on the outside, and then the inside is an outdoor area where they grill out sometimes, and the restaurant is there, too. It just impressed me. The employees that I interacted with all seemed nice. The young man who gave the tour was very nice. He answered all my questions. Another big thing about it is that I have long-term care insurance, and Morningstar was on their list. I was interviewed by the nurse there, who was nice to me. It's a male nurse, and I thought they might have female nurses for the females, too, but I don't know that. The nurse told me the food was delicious, so I should stay and have lunch, but I didn't have time. They said their restaurant is open all day. The other places only had two hours each for morning, lunch, and dinner. Here, the restaurant is open from 7 am to 9 pm, or something like that. I noticed how well the ground was kept. I live in a place where it's hot, and if you don't keep up your flowers in two days, they're dead. But I noticed how clean the road and the parking lot were, and the flowers were fresh. Everything was clean, and it just felt like home. It felt inviting."

"My mom is at Casa de Paz Village. There isn't anything that I like the least about the community. The best thing is that it is in a house situation with eight little ladies that are residents, and they spend time in a home-like setting, so it's like an open kitchen/living room floor plan. They encourage the ladies to get out of their bedrooms and just spend time in the living room, watching TV or doing whatever. They've got their meals there. The caregivers are hanging out, so to speak, at the table there in the kitchen, so they're right there in front of them. They're eyes-on-hands-on all day long. Then at night when they go to bed, they have motion sensors, and if they get up out of their bed for any reason, then the care team goes over there and then they check on them. Essentially, they have 24-hour a day eyes-on-hands-on care, and I love it. I haven't tasted the food there, but I have witnessed several meals. They have a big meal at lunch and then a smaller meal at night. I've watched them cook and I've seen what they serve them. The meals look wonderful. They look like home things that I would eat myself, so I've been impressed with the meals. With regards to activities, so far, I've seen them take some little clay pots and paint clay pots with acrylic paint. They put newspaper on the kitchen table and get everybody that wants to do it to go over there and paint pots. They also made flowers out of egg cartons thing. They have a table array that has puzzles and things in the corner, but I have not witnessed them actually use that. They have a schedule of different crafts so that every day there's something if the residents want to do it. The staff is awesome. They're wonderful. And the place is pristine, one of the things that I think is really good. Basic health requirements require a three-section sink, and I found this impressive. They've converted that kitchen to exactly that. There's a big old stainless steel three-section sink so that you've got wash, rinse, and sanitize, and right next to it there's a little porcelain sink for washing hands. That was impressive."

Everything was updated and safe, and I liked how they interacted with the residents and the activities that they do.

"Mom is moving into Haven Care. I can go right down the street now and see mom as often as I want. She's only like about maybe three minutes away. The room that mom will be in is a little bit larger. She'll be sharing with another person, but it's a large room. That's going to be fine for mom. She's more comfortable with someone there. They have a large restroom, and they'd be sharing a large restroom together. Dimitria was very supportive. She took me all the way around, even though it wasn't quite set up yet. The kitchen, the dining area, and the house seems to be a bit bigger than the one on the other side. So maybe it's because there's no furniture in it. They're going to set the place up. The facilities got, like white walls. It just seems to be a lot more appealing."
