Senior Living in Otero County, NM

"Mom moved to BeeHive Homes of Alamogordo. It looks like they have sufficient staff. It's not a large facility. It's small and it looks very clean and the rooms are very comfortable. There's a good ratio of residents to the caregivers and the workers there. The meals looked excellent when we were there. The communication is very good. They have what they call a spa day where they just get a little bit of pampering, like a special treat. So, they'll have those kinds of special days. I know they have a petting zoo and a shelter that will come by with animals to interact with them. They have a nice outside area and then they have crafts. They'll do bingo and even do dancing and that kind of thing. Just a wide variety of activities for them. The costs are high, but they're high everywhere. I know BeeHive Homes of Alamogordo is right in the market and mom is getting good care there and we're happy with the care. So, the cost is the cost. The facility is very comfortable for them. It's clean. It's not cramped or crowded."

"My mom was sent here for physical therapy rehab and they treated her very well. The staff is very nice there, the building seemed clean, and everyone greeted me with a smile. I would recommend this place. "

"My relative is in The Aristocrat Assisted Living Center-Alamogordo. They are very personable with the residents, their nurses care very much for them, and they go above and beyond, making sure that the residents' needs are met. They're also available any time I have a question or need to contact them. I don't ever have any trouble getting hold of someone over there. The individual rooms are nice. She happened to get into a room that had a fresh coat of paint and a brand new carpet, and it's very well kept and very clean. That was one of the things that impressed me, is how clean the place is. The dining area is also kind of a recreation area, it's a nice, big, open room. It's inviting, it's friendly, it's not cluttered, and they have things in the room for them. They can get juice and coffee any time, there's a birdcage and a fish tank, and things like that that they can just enjoy looking at. It's not overwhelming and it doesn't take over the room, and they keep it also very clean and organized. They have games that they play, they have to know religious services, they have music, they have a hair salon on-site, a lady that even goes in and does their nails if the ladies like their nails done. So, yeah, they have several offerings. They try to give a large variety of food, they have a lot of different choices for the residents. And if someone doesn't like the primary meal being served, they have alternatives for them. It is difficult for them to cook for a large group of people with varying tastes, so it just depends on the resident's likes and dislikes. For what they get, it's affordable. It's all-inclusive, the laundry services are included, the cleaning, as well as the food. So it's easier to manage because there aren't a lot of nickel-and-dime charges. It's a little bit of an older facility, but they maintain it very well. There are a lot of activities, but because of COVID, they're just now getting back to something."

"I had great care. Staff was caring and helpful. PT Department was outstanding. Food is above average for snf facility. This was third snf that I stayed in after my stroke. 2 in El Paso this was the best. It does need updated a bit. If needed I would stay there again... hopefully that never happens."

"I put my dad at Mescalero Care Center. The rooms were very nice and welcoming. There was a rocking chair/recliner for visitors and a couple of smaller chairs in the room. The bathroom was nice and had a wardrobe for your personal belongings. They were there twice a day for cleaning. They would put my dad in a wheelchair and bring him in the dining area. For the people who are not able to feed themselves, they were placed at one table and had three or four people that walked around and fed each one a bite. They took care of each one of them. If anybody wants great care for their elderly parent, this is the place. My dad couldn’t talk, so they brought him in for speech and physical therapies. They put him out in the TV area with everybody and took such good care of him. We were there a lot, and people would still come into his room and take care of him. "
