The staff treat my mom with compassion and respect. The building feels like someone's home, not sterile or clinical. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.... Read more

While my father has been at Brookdale Rio Rancho I have not had a great experience. The staff are not informative when it comes to his care. He had to go to the hospital twice since he moved in and I was not informed by the community either time. We were told that there would be transportation available to take him to his appointments but every time we need it they say it is not available. This was one of the reasons we choose this community. I have not tried the food but I have not had any complaints from him. I am not aware of any activities that may be available to the residents. I would not recommend this community as we are still having to do the things we did before he moved in.

So far everything is going pretty well for me at this community. They treat me very nice and they are very helpful when I need some help. The community looks nice and pretty clean. It isn't perfect, but it is a nice community. There are activities through out the week. I do like the meals, they have a good cook. Everyone has been very welcoming and nice.

We chose Brookdale Rio Rancho as it met all of our needs. It is a bright and comfortable facility with wonderfully compassionate staff in the Memory Care unit. The staff all know the residents. From the maintenance crew to the aides to the nurses, everyone was welcoming, helpful, accommodating to Pat’s needs, and just nice. They have 24/7 nurse staffing so can accommodate Pat’s needs. He is on a waiting list for a private room but his shared room is arranged in a way that both residents have some privacy. The shared rooms were unique to another facility we saw and it made a nice blend of privacy with allowing for interaction as desired.

They sent my loved one to the furthest hospital possible, and it was inexplicable why the did not send him to the closest one. Other than that though, everyone there was really great and they tried their best to help.

This place was more subdued than 1 of the places we chose. IT was the vibe of the atmosphere.

She was there for 2 days. It was really clean. They knew where she was at all times, she would go out the room. The staff was in the hallway and wasn't like a hospital, it gave you more of a home feeling. The only complaint is that it is expensive.

The food there is terrible. The food that they had was just horrible. And there is also not enough staff at Emeritus at Sandia Springs either. And that is pretty much all I have to say about the place.

The individuals themselves are all very caring and efficient, however it is slightly understaffed. They do have an excellent nursing staff and they are very caring and patient and kind. The food is excellent. Overall, the place is well-managed and well-run.

Mom was only in there for a couple of weeks while I had surgery, and they were very good. The only thing I did notice is that they do seem to be understaffed, which leads to them not being cognizant of everything that is going on. Some of moms clothes were lost or stolen while there. Overall it was a very good experience though and I certainly plan on using them again.

My relative lives has lived in this community for less than six months. They are in process of merging with another large senior care company and I believe the change will be welcome and beneficial. We have been pleased with the care and facilities for the most part. At times, you have to work hard to connect with the various directors for care concerns, etc., but it is not impossible to reach them. You just have to keep trying! The food is pretty good and they are always looking for ways to improve, it seems. The care staff are extremely cordial and helpful especially during the week. The weekend staff is more limited in number, but they seem to do a good job with the residents as well. So far, we are not over-the-moon happy, but happy enough to stay and work towards an even better care community!

My daughter-in-law and I toured 10 facilities in 3 days searching for a Memory Care unit for my father after the death of my mother. Because we live 1500 miles away, it was important to choose a facility that gives top notch care, be able to communicate with us and not break the bank. We found that here. It is a beautiful facility, and the level of compassion we saw here was far and above many other facilities we toured. It is secure and yet very homey. There were several residents that were still capable of interacting with my still active but confused father, and despite our fears that the move would throw him for a loop, I haven't seen him this happy for years. He told us he loved it and we are praying he will be able to age in place from this point on with dignity and happiness. He has a wonderful view of "his mountain" and the rooms are very well laid out and roomy.

I'm very happy with it. The staff is very friendly, and they keep it very clean. They are very responsive and attentive. They have quite a few activities. The food is really very good. The biggest reason I chose them, was that they had an option so that the cost of his care would remain the same and the price would not change, it was the special they were running at the time. They all seemed to know his name quite quickly, they will always say hi in the hall and see if anyone needs anything, and do that first.

It depends on what level the parents level – if they needs independent living or assisted living. The more care they need the more the costs rise. There are always little snicky snacks and coffee for the residents. There has always been enough parking.
