Antoinette Garcia is Amazing at Paloma Landing. She is so professional and kind. Always does what she says she is going to do. I have done many classes and seminars at this facility for prospective new residents, as I do at lots of communities around town. She is by far the most pleasant and fun to work with. Clients tell me they really love working with her as well. She knows her stuff and always has her residents and future resident’s best interest at heart. She is an amazing human! Glad to know her. 😊💕 my company name is loving transitions, LLC. And I specialize in helping seniors transition from their homes Like this one. We offer compassionate, senior relocation and real estate services. She is a pleasure to work with.

My mother was very happy during her year and half there. She loved her light bright apartment, she loved the special management and she made many sweet beautiful friends. We had dinner with her often and the food is excellent (great chef) and the waitstaff was awesome. They offer many different activities, not only for fun but keep the energy and body moving. It's always clean, lots of windows and possitive atmosphere. I would encourage anyone to check it out!

I am in the early stages of looking for a senior retirement facility. I visited several places, and I'm most impressed with Paloma Landing in Albuquerque.<br><br>The marketing director has been especially gracious about inviting me and a friend to various and frequent events, such as on the Fourth of July and on international day, which is coming this week. We have been treated to several delicious meals, which are served at your table. The service is prompt and friendly.<br><br>The facility is immaculately clean and cheery with several side areas for several activities. Their Albuquerque location is convenient to shopping, entertainment, parks, and more. Each apartment has an outdoor balcony with great views of the city and the mountains.<br><br>When I'm ready to move, this is my number one choice in Albuquerque.

Well, it happened again. We received an invite card last week and on the card was no less than false advertising. It was some sort of Hispanic Cultural Food Day.<br><br>And just like Cowboy day a couple months ago, the advertised food was not what was shown on the invite.<br><br>Salad as before, some bowls or plates were full, and some were half that. Nothing consistent.<br><br>And just like before, lunch was from 12-2pm and no food hit the tables until close to 1pm! It was nearly 1:15pm before our table was served and then when we we're, the other half of the dining room guests were done and leaving!<br><br>If this had been any restaurant in town and had to wait and hour to be served when at my table, I would have been gone 45 minutes ago<br><br>One homeless looking guy spent 25 minutes serving rolls! Seemed like a week and a half. What is this?<br><br>While we were endlessly waiting, we happened to see the standard menu on the table. It sure looked better than what they were feeding us but cannot verify firsthand<br><br>I'm trying to see the positive at this retirement center but it's just not there. The staff is very courteous but first impressions with the dining facility is just not there.<br><br>I believe it would be far better if the meals were a self-serve buffet as you arrive instead of sitting around for an hour after opening time so all can be served at once.<br><br>If the dining hours have a set time frame, then this is when food needs to start being served! Not wait an hour while rolls ae being served or for everyone to meander on in until the place is full.<br><br>I don't believe I will be returning for another attempt.
