Recent reviews of Independent Living in Cedar Crest, NM
The Woodmark at Uptown in Albuquerque, NM
4.8

Based on our families experience, we were frustrated that all the required paperwork had to be completed by hand rather than a word doc to edit. There were a lot of duplicate questions on many different forms. It was also frustrating that we could not get our loved one moved in on the weekend. We would have loved it if we could have rented the furniture from them or a partner. However, everyone was incredibly friendly, nice and caring. We would highly recommend.

Coronado Villa Retirement Resort in Albuquerque, NM
4.9

I'm currently a resident at Coronado Villa Retirement Resort and I am thrilled to be living here. I certainly made the right choice to move here. The staff and the residents are all VERY friendly and call me by my name. My apartment is comfortable and is the right size. The cleanliness is super. They have more activities than I have time for! This is a great place to live and the ONLY facility in Albuquerque in which I would live. If Coronado Villa had not been here, I would still be living in Tucson.
