New Mexico State Veterans Home

The New Mexico State Veterans Home in Truth or Consequences is a nursing facility for honorably discharged veterans and their spouses. Located in southwestern New Mexico, halfway between Albuquerque and El Paso, the home sits on 12 beautifully landscaped acres in the Rio Grande Valley, nestled between the Black Mountain Range and the east side of the Gila Wilderness.

The facility strives to provide integrated services in an atmosphere that promotes the physical, social, and emotional well-being of every resident. Staff make continuous efforts to improve care while safely assisting residents to live as independently as possible and as they choose, thereby assuring dignity and respect at all times.

Truth or Consequences and the neighboring town of Elephant Butte offer nearly year-round outdoor activities and beautiful landscapes. The area is widely known for the healing waters of natural artesian springs, outdoor water sports, an arts district, hiking trails, and off-road and wilderness areas, providing boundless opportunities for residents to explore and enjoy.

Eligibility is open to honorably discharged veterans with 90 days or more of service and their spouses. Gold Star Parents who have lost children in military service are also eligible. Preference is given to New Mexico residents when there is a waiting list, but veterans from all states are welcome to apply. Visitation is allowed 24/7, with preferred hours from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and visits may take place in common areas or residents' rooms.
