Our Experience
We took my mother out after being a resident at Avamere at Rio Rancho for a short time. The food was not good, the kitchen staff could not get food to her. My sister and I had to be there every day to make sure that she was getting fed. So, it was not working. All in all, it was not positive for us as my mother was blind and needed care that she could not get there despite assurances that she would receive that help. I can't imagine meal planning for the elderly that does not supply milk or dairy as a nutritional addition to diet. For the money being charged, those food items should be available.

Avamere at Rio Rancho
My wife was able to get out of the lockdown Memory Care facility around 2:30 one morning in Dec with light weight clothes, no shoes and temperatures in the teans. We found her sitting in a car across the street five hours after she got out. I don't think she ever recuperated from that experience as she passed away a month later. I would not recommend this facility unless they fixed their problems.

Mother's Transfer to Avamere
From the moment of first contact, [name removed] was absolutely amazing in sending me everything that I needed. Following up most appropriately. And providing other suggested resources to help. She coordinated everything with the facility my mother was coming from in another state and kept me updated throughout. The entire staff was most gracious and amazing before, during, and after my mother's transfer to Avamere. The facility is always exceptionally clean and my mother is well looked after and cared for.

Avamere Review
My mom moved into memory care from assisted living after 4 months, so the activities there are a lot less than assisted living, which is understandable. Overall, I've been please with Avamere. They do a good job and I would and do recommend them to people.

My Review
My loved one ended up getting out in the middle of the night. The door was unlocked, and the alarm did not sound. She was found 5-6 hours later, but she never recovered from the traumatic experience. The facility was nice and clean. The staff was nice. The food was okay, not great. Up until the time she got out she was doing okay. After her getting out and subsequently declining, it was just a bad experience, and I would not recommend it.

My review of Avamere at Rio Rancho
My loved one is a resident here and things have gone well so far. I really like the facility. The staff takes great care of the residents and are very much on top of things. They're constantly on the go and are really attentive to the residents. They read to my loved one every evening and have a good variety of activities. Administration is very on top of things here, as well. It's a good atmosphere here and the food is good!

Everybody is friendly. My loved one needs minimal help, but what they do help with, they do very well. And they have a variety of activities, so there should be something for everybody there. I would recommend them to other families.

A great place to consider for a loved one
Overall, I'm very pleased with this facility for dad. My only suggestion for improvement would be the food. It's often served cold. I'm not sure if it's because they take orders and get behind, but I'd like to see that get better. Housekeeping is once a week, his room is always clean and bed linens are changed weekly. Trash is taken out daily. The staff has been very kind and helpful. Communication with the family is good. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Our Tour Experience
Compared to the place we ended up choosing, I didn't feel as upbeat about Avamere at Rio Rancho. I can't describe it, it was just a feeling when you walked in. I didn’t feel like they were prepared, and they even admitted that to me. They basically just showed me the rooms, which didn't have any patios.

Happy at first but as time went on, I became less happy.
At first I was very happy with them. As time went on, I was unhappy. They will not communicate. It doesn't matter how many times you call them and leave a message, they will not call you back. And that's not just one person. That's everybody there. For the most part they did a good job with his care, although at times I felt he wasn't getting what he needed. But it wasn't too bad. I didn't think they had enough activities. I was thoroughly shocked by the cost, but it was the same price at other places all over town.

Nighttime staff isn't up to par
I first picked this facility because they had immediate openings and they fit within our budget. Everything started out great but then in the last few weeks, it really hasn't been a good experience. The day to day direct staff does a very good job and most of them really care. The nighttime staff just isn't up to par. They don't follow through and they are making decisions that aren't good for my loved one. There have been a number of medical issues and the follow through wasn't as I hoped it would be. There's just very little follow. I just feel like there have been occurrences happening about every other day or every few days. Also, this is a memory care unit and I really haven't seen much activity happening in terms of memory care. I would not recommend this facility.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the New Mexico regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about New Mexico regulations for Assisted Living.
