Amenities include Restaurant style Dining Room, Gathering / Activity Spaces and Social Activities. Families rate it 4.1 out of 5 across 59 reviews.
Palmilla Senior Living in Albuquerque, New Mexico provides Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing/Long Term Care services. The community houses multiple care levels across a single location and maintains a 4.1 out of 5 star rating based on 58 family reviews.
Families describe sharply divided experiences. Those giving five-star ratings consistently praise attentive, caring staff who know residents well, particularly in memory care, along with abundant daily activities and exercise classes. One family noted the staff "became like family" over 14 months of care. However, families with lower ratings report significant concerns: ongoing food quality issues including over-salting that worries families about residents' health outcomes, high staff turnover that disrupts continuity of care for residents with dementia, and unresponsive management when problems are raised. A few families also cited initial service inconsistencies and operational gaps during intake.
The contrast between glowing accounts of direct care staff and critical feedback about management responsiveness, food standards, and retention appears consistent across reviews. Families considering this community should weigh the stronger testimonials about daily care quality against documented concerns about nutrition oversight and administrative responsiveness to resident and family concerns.

Terrible place. My mom was in memory care. I found her laying on the mattress without sheets or a mattress pad many times. Her mattress became soiled due to this. I would visit and her clothes were dirty. I would return the next day and she was still in the same clothes. I reported this to the director, Liz to no avail. They had a bedbug infestation and I was not informed for weeks. That was the final straw and I moved her out of there.
