With her work at Caring, Rachel hopes to help other families find communities, caregivers, and at-home products that benefit elderly loved ones and make life less stressful for family caregivers
New Mexico has 150 assisted living facilities. These communities provide a senior care option for older adults that need a little extra help to remain active and independent. They do not provide round-the-clock nursing care.
What Is an Assisted Living Facility?
A New Mexico assisted living facility is a senior care option that gives seniors assistance while providing them with a private or shared apartment home. The staff in these communities provide assistance with activities of daily living, which may include dressing or bathing assistance, but also encourage seniors to be as independent as possible. Meals, entertainment, recreation and physical exercise are also part of the services provided at these communities.
What Is the Best Way to Find a New Mexico Assisted Living Community?
Seniors and their families can start their search for a New Mexico assisted living community on the Assisted Living page for New Mexico. The amenities and reviews of assisted living communities in and near the major cities of New Mexico are provided. The best way to make a choice is to talk to current or past residents and to schedule an in-person tour of the facility to see its amenities.
