My class and I volunteer at this facility. We visit, do crafts and play games with the residents. The staff is always very friendly, helpful and thankful. The facility is always clean and well kept.

My husband was at Avista for a bit over a year and as he was diminished by his disease his love for the staff only grew. His face would light up when certain staff members would enter the room or walk past him. He knew that they truly cared for him.<br>He loved the time he spent in the beautiful yard helping to water and trim a bit. I can’t imagine that there is a lovelier yard in any memory care residence in Albuquerque.<br>Field trips, musical entertainment, arts and crafts, ice cream socials and baking activities were all part of their activities.<br>Outdoor cookouts in the wonderful yard occurred on several holidays.<br>If a loved one is not able to stay in their home any longer Avista is a caring, loving residence for them to be a part of.
