Genesis Belen Meadow is horrible. I was there 7 days and pray I die before I ever go back there. The night nurse were great. The day nurse was a total complete disaster that did nothing but sit at the nurses desk and flit with the men who worked there. I had to clean the toilet that I shared with another room. The lady in the other room constantly peed on the toilet and floor. I also had to clean feces off the toilet. The nasty day nurse (can’t remember her name) told me she would not clean it and she would not get an orderly to do it. She told me it was my problem not hers. I also never got a meal that was for my diabetic history. Please please DO NOT send any of your relatives there. I have already reported it to the proper authorities.

The front office staff is well organized and easy to reach. Karen from admissions is really good and does out of her way to reach out to families as the transition is taking place. Social Services, Nursing, etc are all quite easy to reach. I have seen some facilities where it's almost impossible to get a live human on the phone.

Karen Gabaldon has been immensely helpful in a very stressful situation. My father in law, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, fell and broke his hip. He came to Belen Meadows for rehab and Karen has walked us thru the whole process. She is always willing to answer questions and lend a helping hand . She knows us by name even though we have only been here a short time. Thank you for all of your help!

These 4 and 5 star reviews must be from paid reviewers. I'm reviewing based on experience with my brother's admission to the facility. First, we, the family, did not get to choose this facility. NMU hospital sent him to Belen Meadows after they realized they could not release him on his own recognizance. All family members live in Texas and could not get to New Mexico in time to admit him ourselves. After five months of residency, my brother was malnurished, ill, and soiled. Test results came back in January indicating prostate cancer. The facility was supposed to make an appointment with a urologist. They didn't. Here we are in May. When I was packing his things to take him to Texas after they had one week of notice, they threatened to call Adult Protective Services. After just 3 days in a different facility in Texas, thankfully, my brother is doing well, beginning to get his senses back, and will see a Dr. this week about his possible cancer diagnosis. In case you're wondering, Medicaid and my brother were charged nearly $10,000 each month. The facility he is in now, $6000.00. This place should be defunded and closed down.

My experience is not my own , instead my brother. He has been in the Belen facility for about six months. Apparently someone in the billing office has become accustomed to stealing from disabled & elderly patients. I was informed today these corrupt people seized his bank account - due to the fact they know he’s on SSDI. So they moved to take every last penny in his bank account & are demanding 8 thousand while he’s still a patient. I know it’s been an issue of people stealing from taxpayers recently & apparently it was quite easy when no one was paying attention. They have committed wire fraud so far & will be sued to claw back the money they have stolen. My recommendation is keep away from these thieves.
