The Aristocrat Assisted Living Las Cruces, NM

My father and stepmother were residents for many years. The last couple years The Aristocrat has changed dramatically. New director along with a few longtime staff have managed to make this a first-class facility. I know how difficult it is making a decision for a loved one, not only where they should go but the life changing events that transpire leading up to the decision. If anyone would like more information on my experiences with The Aristocrat please contact Erica, Christine, or Lola. I would be happy to answer any questions...honestly.

I've gone to The Aristocrat Assisted Living Las Cruces. It's at the back of a lot that has an apartment building on one side and has a daycare on the other side so there's not a lot of parking sometimes. When you go in the front door though, it's beautiful and they have a new common area that's kind of like a living room so you can visit with people there. If you turn to the left, you pass the office of the lady in charge. On the right-hand side is a TV and game and library kind of room. It has a couch and it's kind of nice. When you go on from there, there's a dining room and then they have an aquarium. It's nice, it's like eating at a nice restaurant because they have cloth tablecloths and all that. All of the people that I have encountered were very nice. The rooms are very nice too. They give the residents a good amount of time to eat lunch. Then at about 1, a lady came in and touched up some of the other lady's fingernails. There's another lady who played games with a different group of ladies there. I know that they also had a singer that would come and play music, and sing for them.

The reason we were going to pick The Aristocrat is because it is close to the doctor's and close to the hospital; however, my friend doesn't want to go. Nevertheless, The Aristocrat was wonderful and was clean. I like everything about it. It was nice. The staff members were very nice and helpful. I was waiting to see the administrator and one of the workers came up and talked to me. The food looked nice, too. People seemed to be enjoying their dinner. It looked good on the menu. The room was like an apartment. It had a separation for the bedroom, bathroom, and little living room/dinette, which was great. If I had to go, that's the one I want.

We visited The Aristocrat. The rooms did not have a separate bedroom, so for that reason, we were not happy. They only had an OK studio room. Their dining looked OK as well.
