Avista Senior Living Albuquerque is a memory-care-only community, structured to meet the needs of residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. All daily programming, environmental cues, and staffing patterns are organized around supporting cognitive health and preserving familiar routines for residents who require specialized Memory Care.
Beyond its dedicated cognitive support, the secured community maintains a broad range of on-site medical services. Diabetes management, medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care are available every day, and a physician makes regular rounds. Rehabilitation professionals—including speech, occupational, and physical therapists—provide therapy on campus, while a podiatrist addresses foot health and hospice services are accessible when needed. Short-term or respite stays can also be arranged.
Residences offer straightforward comfort with air conditioning, optional Wi-Fi access, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Select rooms open to outdoor areas, and parking is available for those who keep a vehicle. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so families should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining centers on three daily meals with an all-day dining option that lets residents eat on their own schedule. The culinary team prepares standard, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar dishes, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting family members. Consistent with the Memory Care focus, menus emphasize familiar foods served in a calm setting to encourage nutritional intake.
Residents can take part in social outings, walking paths, and outdoor activities, or stay indoors for karaoke, chair yoga, live-music events, library and computer lounge sessions, swimming, and birthday celebrations. Reminiscence and sensory-based programs are scheduled regularly, and an activity center supports clubs and community gatherings that help residents maintain social ties.
