I visited The Neighborhood in Rio Rancho as a possible place for my father for skilled nursing and possibly assisted living. Jae gave me a tour and was very nice and assured me she would let me know if they would take my dad. I never heard back from her and when my dad was being released from the hospital they told me that the Neighborhood in Rio Rancho would not take my dad. Never a call from them or a reason why. Very disappointed.

So I visited this place and by looking on the outside you would think this was a luxury apartment building. It’s beautiful inside, elevators, dining rooms in the independent living looks like nice restaurant. The food is delicious. The residents that I spoke with in assisted living and skilled living loved it here. The residents in the independent community enjoyed staying there. This is a luxury living for skilled residents and independent residents. It’s not cheap 🤭and they have new staff and management. I went to visit a family friend and I was blown away with how good this facility looks compared to other facilities. I’m from Texas and enjoyed the tour of the place. Thank you Karen, Sharon, Harold, Tequila and therapy staff for everything you do. 🫶🏽

Beautiful facility!! Nursing staff was knowledgeable and the marketing person (Tammy?) was helpful and took her time with us. This facility has the nicest bedrooms of any we've seen. Spacious and modern--each with a nice view. Well equipped.

Moved my elderly sister-in-law from independent living in Maryland to assisted living at The Neighborhood. She has several health issues requiring medical treatment daily. The facility is modern, clean and quiet. Her studio apartment is a nice size space with large bathroom allowing us to decorate it to make her feel more at home. Her view of the Sandias is stunning. She loves to read on the outdoor patio. The management are great; easy to work with and contact. The staff are professional, well trained, attentive, and fun. They engage my sister and tend to her medical/personal needs. Her medical issues are being well managed/controlled. She is receiving PT/OT and feels it is helping her. The activity calendar gets her engaged and stimulated. She routinely leaves during our visits to participate in some event. Every time we visit her, she tells us how happy she is there. She enjoys dining and said she has to limit her choices because she feels like she's eating too much, i.e. the food must be good! The reason for moving her was to find a facility that could meet her needs, keep her clean/comfortable and happy. We researched and visited many facilities in the ABQ metro area. The Neighborhood in Rio Rancho is by far the best we've seen and we are really glad we helped our sister move there. We highly recommend The Neighborhood in Rio Rancho.
