Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Sandia Heights, NM
Fairwinds - Rio Rancho
5.0

It is a great community. Everyone is welcoming and caring. Food is amazing. Lots of activities. We picked it because it's so alive. Always something going on. You walk in the front door and it's warm and inviting.

Willowwood Assisted Living in Albuquerque, NM
4.9

The staff members at Willowood Assisted Living are so great and friendly and our loved one is really well taken care of. He always looks clean and is being fed really well. We have absolutely no complaints or see any red flags with this community. His favorite thing is sitting outside in the courtyard to enjoy the fresh air. They have people come and play music for the residents. They have exercises, and what we really liked is before our loved one moved in they already had a dresser and a bed for him. The community does not feel clinical at all, not sterile but like a home. Also communication is very important to our family and they communicate with us about everything no matter how big or small something may be.

Brookdale Valencia in Albuquerque, NM
5.0

I had to find a community for my mom on an emergency basis. The Brookdale team was fantastic - I toured two facilities virtually and then flew in to tour them in person. After selecting Valencia, they set up a respite room for my mom so I could get their immediate support while I then packed up and moved her belongings. I have been pleased with the attentiveness to the staff, their attention to my mom's specific needs (and making her feel special), their communication with me, the social activities available, their transportation to appts, the facility itself, and even the meals. If you live in ABQ, you know it's not a great part of town - but the community is gated and feels welcoming and safe. My mom's studio unit is just large enough for me to create a mini-version of her home with furniture and decor. I had a lot of worries about placing my mom and not being nearby - I'm grateful it has turned out so well and she is happy!
