Jennifer 2022-01-09 My husband and I were very, very impressed with BeeHive Homes of Rio Rancho. It is assisted living. If somebody moves into hospice or a higher level of care, they have it. Our experience was excellent. The staff was very, very knowledgeable. They gave us very, very good information, showed us room availability, gave us prices, and told us everything that is included. They let us know how they provide their residents with dignity and that was obvious. They allow them to make decisions for themselves and be as independent as they can be. They are taken care of by providing certain technologies to the residents, so that the staff is always aware of movements. If they're fall risks, they know right away if a patient is moving about and needs to be watched because they do make their own decisions. At that age (ike my father - he's going to be 94), they think they can do more than they can do. They want to do it, and they just cannot do it. They put technologies in place so that they're always aware of what the residents are doing as far as motion goes and movement. That way they can be there to help them if need be. This facility was very nice and very clean. There's plenty of room for residents to move around in. There were some residents that were out in the big open area watching TV. There were outside sources that were coming in to take care of a couple of rooms which had been vacated recently. They were making sure that the carpets were scrubbed, things in the room were painted, and ready for someone else to move into. It was very good. We met the cook that also helps with making sure that the residents are safe because he sees them and knows them. He knows to keep an eye on things and on the residents to make sure that if they need help, he can be there to help or make sure that one of the other staff members is there to help. I saw that myself with him helping one of the staff members. He was not just in the kitchen as the cook. Everything was clean. The hallways were wide enough. I could look into the rooms. I could see that the rooms were kept up and that they were decorated according to each resident's needs or desires. We saw the laundry room, the kitchen, and all the areas that were available to the residents and ourselves. It was a nice space that we were able to go outside into. The backyard where they are able to have access was very nice and kept up. I really liked their religious stances. There was religious art on the walls, and they have a strong faith themselves as the managers. I really appreciate that they provide for residents to have that spiritual encounter if they choose to. They allow outside sources to come in (priests, pastors, rectors), if they want to come in and work with individual or group residents. It would be great because I am a Eucharistic minister, and I can take communion and can pray with them in certain ways that are specific to Catholicism. It was something that impressed me that they would be very open. They could use that service of coming in and giving the residents some kind of spiritual uplift or spiritual rituals or practices. I was impressed that they were small community residences. They have between 5 and 8 persons within their community. The three homes that we visited were all clean. We could see that they had space and activities available. I visited this facility

Terry 2021-06-20 My visit to BeeHive Homes of Rio Rancho was very pleasant and the person that I met with was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I couldn't go inside so it was difficult to see the complete layout of the home but I understand about COVID restrictions. What I liked about it is that it's small in terms of the number of residents that they took in; it's what we're looking for. I had to rely on looking through a couple of windows. I kind of saw the living room, and the bedrooms that I saw were nice. The one that toured me was the marketing person, but I also met the house manager and the person that does activities for the people. I visited this facility

Pam 2021-03-18 We went to BeeHive Homes of Rio Rancho. They were very kind and professional, the facility was beautiful, and we really liked it a lot, but my in-laws cannot afford to stay there. It was brand new. Everything was updated and safe, and I liked how they interacted with the residents and the activities that they do. They have a beautiful patio, and they can take their residents to the beauty parlor, but they also have one that comes in, as well as doctors and nurses. I visited this facility

Patricia87889650 2014-07-22 Bee Hive was nice. There were very few residents but a fair amount of staff. The staff was very nice. However, it was more than he needed. The people seemed much further down the road towards dementia and various diseases than my father is. I visited this facility

Gloria15 2013-10-09 Bee Hive Homes was a pretty small place and that's very nice. They only have to take care of six people there. They keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. There was lots of life there when I visited. In their rooms, they have their own bathrooms. In the back of this facility, they have a little backyard but they're all fenced and that was really nice. They have little plants and people over there can water them, and that was nice too. I visited this facility

Dick 2021-11-27 We went to BeeHive Homes of Rio Rancho. It was nice, it was clean, and it was new. That was the main thing. It's in a new residential neighborhood and there's still an empty lot across the street. It's nice and clean. The room looked nice. It was just a room with a bed, a chair, and a bathroom. There wasn't too much to it. The staff who showed me around was very professional. They gave us a menu of everything that was going to be during that day, so that was nice. They have arts and crafts. The only thing that I did not like is that there's no parking. It was hard to get in and out of there. That was the only thing. There are only about seven or eight parking spaces in their location. I drive a big old truck and I had trouble getting in and out of there, and my sister drives an SUV and they can get in and out of there, but getting in and out of there was the hardest thing. The rest of it was fine, but to me, that was a flaw that there are not enough parking spaces. They have a courtyard and an enclosed yard that has a patio and lawn. It's a nice backyard. There are places for them to sit. I visited this facility
