My brother-in-law is in Avista Senior Living Albuquerque. It's excellent. I highly recommend it. They offer all the assistance he needs. They feed him regularly and give him his medicines. He's in a private room. Our interaction with the staff is excellent. I think it's outrageously expensive, but the others are just as bad or worse.

Avista Senior Living Albuquerque is a very nice facility. The staff members were great. Joe has been there about 20 years, maybe more. He is kind of the maintenance guy, the guy that drives the van, and he does a few other things. He was great. The women at the desk were really good. Avista probably would have worked for us, but it's a little bit more expensive, and so they're kind of ruled out. They have their courtyard there where you can go between the two buildings and people basically have free access there. There are no locked doors between the units in the courtyard. It's basically one-bedroom. It's probably about the size of what Mom is going into. It didn't have cable access, but it did have options for internet access to set up the TV. I think closet space was kind of lacking, but the common areas were nice.

I toured Avista Senior Living Albuquerque. They have more residents, but they're 100% geared toward memory care. I had a friend whose father was there until the end of his days, and he received good care according to his daughter. That's the reason why I was kind of interested, but unfortunately, it's way beyond the money I can afford. There was a good interaction with the staff the first time. The second time wasn't so great.

My Mother was at this facility for 6 years. My family was very pleased with her care. The caregivers were kind and gentle with her even though she could be difficult. We also found that the cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Avista

My mother has resided at Avista Senior Living Albuquerque for 11 years now. I am very happy with the facility and even more so the staff. My mother is very well taken care of and I have zero worries about her care or needs at Avista. I've often visited on varying days of the week and at varying times and the level of care is always very good. They have many core staff members that have been there for the entire time (and longer) that my mother has been in their care. The current Executive Director has been in her current position longer than any other ED at this facility and has all of the staff and residents concerns at heart. The consistency, the cleanliness, the care, the food are all at the highest benchmarks in the industry. They also engage the residents in many activities from group exercises to arts and crafts to singalongs. I could not recommend Avista more highly and know that anyone's loved one would be very well cared for at this facility.

Avista Senior Living Albuquerque was nice. The tour guide was good. I liked that they had gatherings there where family could come visit. They even had singing and stuff, and that was nice. I liked that they had a secure area for people that needed more intense care. I can't think of anything that I didn't really like. They had a fairly nice TV area. Then they had another little area where they would play cards or whatever.

Avista Senior Living Albuquerque was wonderful, but it's self-pay. We can't afford it. I liked everything. I liked the layout. I liked the people that I met. Even the activities director said he was there for 30 years. The only thing I didn't like was that they don't take Medicaid, that they're self-pay only, and so my boyfriend can't partake. The person who gave me the tour, the activities director who came and introduced himself to me, and some of the CNAs as they were walking people in wheelchairs, everyone was just exceptionally friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. It was very clean and there was no smell of urine or poop. The atmosphere was peaceful and tranquil, and there were caring people all around.

The staff at Avista Senior Living Albuquerque was pretty friendly and courteous. They answered all my questions. They did their best to keep the place clean. The room had a reasonable size. If push comes to shove, I'm sure everybody would love a motel suite and stuff, but we're talking about reality here. They offered me water and a little appetizer.

Avista Senior Living Albuquerque was wonderful. We were impressed with all the staff that we encountered. The man that took us on a tour was the activities director and everybody there was smiling, not just the staff. I only saw one resident in their room. The rest of them were in a communal area. He explained to us the different things they do, so it just seemed like their people were happy to be there and I think mom-in-law would have been well taken care of had she gone there. It was a smaller facility, but everything was just immaculately clean. It wasn't new, but the facility itself was very nice. It was a cottage style and it was very cozy. We saw that they were doing some of the things that were on the calendar. The food looked good. Their courtyard was gorgeous. They got great security. If you get lost outside, all of their sidewalks lead to a door coming back in. So, it was very well set up. They had two raised beds (my mother-in-law would have liked that) and a beautiful garden where they set up and have their barbecues. You can tell they do a lot of stuff outdoors. Their cost was better, too. It was just too far from us.

I went to Avista Senior Living Albuquerque. The person who took us on tour was very, very thorough, And I liked what he said about the degrees of how to communicate with people who have dementia, the stages that they're in, they focus on communicating at that point with each person. I liked it. I liked the facility. I liked the shared room because it was still private. There was a bathroom in between, I just thought that was great because it does give them a sense of privacy. I liked the facility and the way it was set up, and the dining room. Everything is very open and very clean. I just had a comfortable feeling about it. I have talked to the director there, she called me and she's very concerned and very understanding.

I had an in-person tour of Avista Senior Living Albuquerque. I felt very good about the whole place. What impressed me was the spaciousness of it, that it didn't feel closed in or confined. It had nice, wide spaces, and it was well-appointed. It was very clean. The staff members were very nice. I could see that they liked where they worked. They were pleasant, but they were more than pleasant. There seemed to be a sincerity with them, even more so than the other place. There was something about Avista that felt more personal, and like they took a personal interest. I liked Avista better than the other facility. I didn't feel like the people would feel claustrophobic. The rooms were very well-kept and very well placed. I liked the layout that had two people in a room. They had it laid out to where they were in the same room, but it's almost like they had a private space within the same room; so I liked the way they appointed the rooms to their clientele.

Avista Senior Living Albuquerque was very good, but it is so far away from my home, in the far northeast. The staff was excellent and their tours were good. They had a very involved activity director. And they did have availability. It's a ground-level unit and there was outdoor space. It was very attractive, and this was for memory care and it was controlled. The apartments were good and spacious. I wasn't able to see what they served. They did have their menu up, which looked attractive and interesting and appealing. If the client or patient wants something they can whip that up right away.

I already found a place for my aunt here and they're very good. I like them. I would recommend them to anybody. It is very clean. The staff is really good. I really like it. It is a very good place. With regards to the room for my aunt, they let us decorate it, and we were able to bring her own blankets and stuff. They would provide it if we wanted but we brought a lot of my aunt's stuff. She shares a room with another lady, and they have their own bathroom. They go on field trips once a week. They have a beauty shop and a beautician that comes once a week. They have a podiatrist and a dentist that come. They would give my aunt all of her medications. Last month, they had an academy awards, like an exemplary thing, and they gave my aunt three awards, so it is very homey, it is very nice. They're very good. I really like them. I like the location, I like how it is laid out, and I like their good attention to my aunt.

This is where I want to be. I like it. Considering that it is a 4-hour drive from where I live, they offered me a ride and sent a van for me, and right away, I started feeling like royalty. The person showed me all the different layouts of some apartments that were available there. She even showed me one cottage that they also had, and I was very much impressed with the appearance. Also, the place smelled good.

It is not as nice as the one my mom is staying in right now. The rooms are smaller. A lot of rooms didn't have private showers. The first person that showed us around was very nice, friendly and helpful. But I probably won't consider this place for my mom to move into.
