Nursing Home Communities in Rio Rancho, NM

"I cannot recommend this facility. The main problems with RCA were a lack of communication from the administration staff and failure to transport my family member to doctor's appointments. I live away from the Albuquerque area and when I would call or email for information about my family member, administration would not return calls and ignored e-mails. This was very frustrating. Finally, I moved my family member to another facility in my hometown."

"My husband fell and broke his arm which required three weeks of PT at Las Palomas. I visited him everyday--he was always clean, his room was orderly and well maintained, and his meals were tasty and nutritious. The therapists, nurses, and aides were professional, responsive, and friendly. I have to admit that I was very apprehensive about this nursing home after I read the negative reviews. However, my husband was well taken care of. He is coming home in good shape, thanks to the care he received at Las Palomas. My thanks to all who worked daily with him. As far as I am concerned, the workers never get enough of the credit. "

" I placed my mother with Albuquerque Heights Healthcare because we could not afford any other in June of 2014. My Mom passed away there in Feburary of 2015. Her stay was a long ordeal for the family as she had advanced dementia, wheelchair bound and other health issues. She was well taken care of, always clean. However, the facility seemed understaffed. The last days of her life they placed her in a nice private room which the family was eternally grateful. We were able to be with her 24-7 until she passed . . . "

"The nurses and texts are professional at their jobs I couldn't ask for a better place to live "

"Advanced Healthcare of Albuquerque has a beautiful facility. I first came here when my friend Rose was receiving rehab for her leg. The inside common areas of the facility have the feel of a mountain lodge with high ceilings and a fireplace. There is a nice place to sit for socialization in the lobby, as well as a covered patio outside. There is also a library available for resident use which has books as well as internet access. While the food served at the facility is good, the dining room itself is somewhat on the small side. It always looked cramped when I visited during mealtimes. For the most part, the staff seemed friendly in their interactions with Rose. However, on occasion there would be some individuals working there who seemed to have an attitude of indifference to the residents. Overall, however, I would recommend this facility, and, if I needed rehab myself, would hope to be fortunate enough to get to be a resident here. "

"Absolutely you should know, for SNF's in Albuquerque and covered by medicare providers, Odelia is hands down the best of the 3 in town i have been to. Excellent Staff, excellent accomodations for vegetarian/vegan meals, not room enough to list everything but this INDEPENDENT run facility has a progresive leadership that really made a difference.. And Friendly caring people, every one of them."

"The nurses there were very caring to dad. The therapy department made him work hard, they tired him out and the nursing staff spoiled him. He walked out after breaking a hip with a walker and now lives in assisted living. The nurses were loving and spent time getting to know him as a person and not patient #101-2. Never having had experienced a nursing home/skilled therapy stay it was the people who worked there that made the experience pleasant. I saw the same nurse every day and knew the nurse who covered her days off. The aides and nurses were happy and smiled a lot. I got to know them by name and it made it seem like a family environment instead of a nursing home. I still visit from time to time just to take dad and update the nurses on how dad is doing. My dad was there on a skilled therapy visit and discharged after 19 days, they helped me find the right assisted living for him and made the transition smooth. If dad ever needs that kind of care again, we will go back to Canyon. I referred a church member who also had a good experience and decided to leave her loved one there in the nursing home hall. I think the people there care about the patients and put a lot of effort to treat them as individuals. The nurses there touched my heart and made a difference in that difficult time of my life. Even though there is no place like home they did make my dad feel like he was one of their family members. Highly recommend "

"Great Staff, Great support, and great medical staff. I have recommended this to my whole family."

"La Vida Llena is lovely but you have to buy into it, and they offer all the activities. It’s like a really nice fine hotel; you have a tablecloth and a menu. "

"My father is in Sandia Ridge Center. He is in rehab, and it's a decent place for it, although I wouldn't put him in the nursing home over there as they have too many people. He also doesn't have a private room. He's sharing it; there are two beds there, and it's small. The upkeep is fine, though. The people who work there are very helpful. They call me when they have to administer meds and make sure that they're the right meds. I spoke to the social worker yesterday, and he's really nice, too. The nurse kept me informed of everything. I didn't have any issues with any of them. Yesterday, they allowed him to get into a wheelchair and go outside. When he was coming in, he got off the chair and fell, and they called me as soon as it happened. They also informed me right away of any changes. They're really good, communication-wise. I've seen what they give my father to eat, and he actually enjoys it. He finishes his food, and it looks very good. He's been doing okay with the activities and with his physical therapy. He has issues with the fall, so they're working on his balance, and they're also working on getting him to use a walker. The parking is close to the building, so you don't have to walk a long distance. That's good because my mother also has issues walking far, so it's convenient when she comes to visit."

"We were very happy to be able to place our loved one here. The personal were fantastic. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. Venice is our Hero. He made the experience quick & easy. He made sure our loved one received all the special care he required. Great Place. "

"Wonderful facility, very clean, nicely updated on both the interior and exterior! Tiffany helped place my family member, arranged a private, very updated and modern room and did an excellent job. At times my family member can be somewhat demanding and want immediate attention but the nursing staff were patient and made sure all of our needs were met. My only suggestion would be to increase the security factor at the front door. Again, my greatest compliments to Tiffany and the staff at St. Theresa's! "

"My mother was placed there after breaking her hip. The staff is very lazy, and when paged for pain meds would take hours. The place is clean. She became very constipated and they neglected the fact that she was on strong pain meds and became impacted twice while there and they still did not address the issue. The food is absolutely terrible. Some nurses were very kind and nice, others were not. The rehab was suppose to happen twice daily and most times it did not. Would never allow my mother to go to this facility again. "

"My sister was in Princeton Place for a little while. I thought that they had a good staff. They provided good care, were concerned, and caring, but she felt they did not have activities for her, and she's an active person. Her room seemed to be adequate, she had a TV, but she wanted to interact with the others."
