Morada Quintessence in Albuquerque, NM is an assisted living community with a clear medical orientation. Residents have on-site access to physicians, diabetes management, and coordinated care with outside providers, reducing the need for off-campus appointments. The community accepts respite or short-term stays and is prepared to manage advanced dementia through its memory care programming. Speech therapy is available, and licensed nurses oversee medication management and other skilled services.
A wider network of health professionals—including a dentist, podiatrist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and additional speech therapists—visit the property on a regular schedule. Customized care plans encompass ambulatory and incontinence services, as well as hospice support when required. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained in standby supervision, 1-person transfers, and the safe use of walkers or wheelchairs. All staff members undergo background checks, and an activity director designs programs that align with residents’ cognitive and physical abilities.
Living quarters range from studios to larger apartments, with select units offering kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, individual air conditioning, and proximity to outdoor areas or resident parking. Some residences also allow personal touches such as a central fireplace or access to a community piano or organ, but not every unit includes each of these features. The community is pet-friendly, subject to established guidelines.
Dining is prepared by a professional chef who can serve international cuisine as well as meals that are kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, organic, low-sodium, or no-sugar. Residents can take advantage of all-day dining rather than fixed seating times, and guest meals are offered so family members can join. Three daily meals plus snacks are included, and dietary adjustments are made in coordination with clinical directives.
Residents have access to an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, communal gardens, high-speed internet, and concierge services to handle appointments or general requests. These amenities supplement the facility’s core focus on health care, giving residents practical options for daily living and recreation without leaving the property.
