Recent reviews of Independent Living in Buckman, NM
The Montecito Santa Fe
5.0

Everything is going really well and my mom likes being here a lot. She likes the food and the people the most. The food is really good and the menus have a pretty good variety, including all different kinds of foods for people with food allergies, some things are gluten free, and they even have vegan food. The staff seems to like their job and they seem happy. The facility is kept very clean and housekeeping comes by every 2 weeks to change the sheets and make the bed and then clean the rest of the apartment, which has a full sized kitchen. They have tons of activities like exercise classes, bingo, scrabble, mah jong, concerts, movies, news, current events every morning at 9, and they even have a book group. 3 or 4 days a week they have live music at the bar in the dining room, too. For the price you pay, you get 2 meals a day and you can get them at any time, and you get pretty much everything (cleaning, cable, food, etc.) but the internet and a landline are extra (if you want that). I would even live here!
