The Best Nursing Home Communities in Sandoval County, 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 suffered a severe TBI (traumatic brain injury) and the rehabilitation staff is excellent and very professional and friendly. My husbands room is always clean and what ever we needed they were there to help us out. I also was hesitant when hospital told me this was the facility he was going to and i read the online reviews but he has been there almost a month now and he is in good hands and coming home in a week. THANK YOU LOS PALOMAS"

"I recently visited my mom at ABQ Heights, Who had a wonderful experience while there. Every staff member has been friendly and extremely helpful. Their Kindness was much appreciated."

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

"I stayed in a rehab center called Advanced Health Care of Albuquerque, and it was wonderful. They're just for rehab even though they have 40 rooms. It was outstanding. The room was spacious. It had a large armoire, it had a good-sized TV for being in the room so much, and it had a little efficiency sort of kitchen with a counter, a sink, a mini-fridge and a microwave like you would find in some hotels or motels, and I like that a lot. They had a gym, they had a doctor, they had two nurses, and they had quite a few what they call certified nurse assistants, where if you would call them for help with anything, they would be there in a short time. They have excellent food, three meals a day. They would wheel you in if you needed to be in a wheelchair with oxygen if you needed that, and/or they would deliver the meal to your room for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They had a main meal that was changed every day, but you could also have a choice of other things that were always on the menu. Like if you want a hamburger and French fries, they had other things on the menu besides whatever the special meal of the day was. I went there on Medicare and insurance, but I understand that when that runs out, it's $6000 a month. But the one I looked at yesterday, a three-bedroom-two-bath house with a couple of items of gym equipment and a living room, they wanted $5000, no private bath, so I would say, compared to that, it's got a much better value."

"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."

"We liked The Montebello on Academy a lot. We thought it was just right for us. The apartments were a good size and our furniture would fit there. I think we'd be comfortable. The menu was excellent and the food was excellent. They offer exactly what I think is the right thing. They'll choose your diet in any way you need to and you get one major meal a day, either lunch or supper, and you always get breakfast. So, having meals twice a day would be perfect for us. Everything seemed to be in excellent condition. It was very clean. We liked how often they do exercise classes. We feel like that's very important to our health. We also have a small dog and we loved their approach to what you're allowed to do with your dog there. They have a nice dog yard. Nicer than any of the other places in town."

"My grandfather, Mr. Kersting, was here for the last year of his life. I cannot begin to explain how amazing the staff is here. Carrie, Sharone, Yvette, Mario, Joe, and the 400 hall were his favorites. They took amazing care of him physically and emotionally. They listened to his stories, they laughed with him, they loved him, they held his hand when he needed, and most importantly they made sure he was comfortable and happy every step of the way! Thank you all so much for everything you did for my Poppy and the peace of mind you brought my family."

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

"By far the largest number of residents at LaVidaLlena are in the Independent Living areas, so it is a very active community. My husband and I moved here in 2015, both fully mobile but seeking a place where we knew we would be taken care of should we need assistance. He died three years ago without ever staying in any of our care units, but we did have help from several nurses and aids right in our apartment during his final illness. They were unfailingly cheerful, competent and professional. For the past year during Covid-19, when we were sheltering for everyone's safety, our Life Enrichment Department went to work immediately designing exercise, lectures and other programs on our in-house TV station and online to keep us sane and happy. Normally there is an abundance of lectures, classes, day trips, exercise classes, chances to attend Popejoy Hall events, too many activities to list. Walking among our beautiful grounds is a favorite pastime which was never curtailed. We are all looking forward to the day soon when the life we knew before 2020 resumes here. Our newly remodeled Health Care Center with private suites looks fabulous, and the new Assisted Living/Memory Care building does as well. There are 40 new, upscale apartments going up in the new 6000 building on north campus, with both these new buildings nearing completion, so the excitement about them is growing. The future looks very bright at La Vida Llena, and I am so happy to live here!"

"This Facility was the best! My Grandfather who has been struggling with Cancer for 5 years now was admitted in December of 2011. They treated him so well like he was their Grandpa. They loved him and the place was always clean. Anytime we rang the call bell they were there like personal assistants. We would recommend this place to anyone who needs short term Rehab or long term care. "

"The facilities are more than adequate. Everything is clean and well cared for. As soon as I walked in the door, I felt the wonderful, encompassing welcome energy of the place. The staff is loving and caring, and listens! As one becomes infirm, help is available for hire. The attached skilled nursing facility has been really helpful for me, as I recovered from two surgeries. As I was discharged, I was able to walk back to my apartment! The dining room serves three meals a day, and the menu is varied. The cost of food is not part of your rent, so that you can eat in your room, and not feel as though you are wasting money. There is a chapel, a hobby room, an exercise area, along with various offices on the first floor as well as the dining room. The upper floors each have a large lounge area for people to gather and talk, play games, put together puzzles, watch movies, etc. Very nice place, all around!"

"My wife was at Genesis Healthcare Uptown. It was a good place. They took care of you. They have a group that they let be a singing group on Saturday morning at 10:00. They sing country religious-type songs, and they are very good. They even had one guy that was a guitar player for certain stuff. Their food was pretty good, too. My wife was in a room for two people. They kept it clean. The staff was good. They treated people well. My wife sent cards to three of the women (maybe more than that) when she left there just because she liked the way they treated her. I liked them, too. For activities, they played games there. They would get the group together to play games. It was probably bingo and my wife won in one of them. With regard to value for money, they ended up charging us some money, but they paid for most of the three weeks. It was good."

"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. "
