I used to live at this community, but had moved away for a short time, but I'm so glad to be back. I really appreciate how the community allows me to enjoy my own space and stay to myself when I want, but I also love having the chance to interact with other residents. I've joined a few events around the community and have found myself having a lot of fun. All this combined makes living here truly enjoyable.

I enjoy visiting my sister at the Albuquerque grand, we have lunch when I visit and the food is amazing. I also get to do fun activities with her. It’s nice for her there cause she is well taken care of and gets to be independent.

I saw a flyer on Albuquerque grands Facebook page and also at the senior center I attended the Cinco de Mayo event. I attended the event to see what the place looks like and I was given a tour and told about the lifetime rates, activities and amenities that are all included in the rent. I could not believe how warm everyone was and how inviting and cozy it felt. I think I may have found the place I am meant to be. I’m sure there are many seniors on a budget like me and could live comfortably knowing the rent will never increase every year. By the way, the event was so much fun, lots of food live music and dancing. I’m coming back for the Memorial Day barbecue event on May 25. I’d like to thank the staff and the residents for making me feel right at home.
