Tender Heart Assisted Living in Albuquerque offers both Assisted Living and Residential Care Home options. Residents who need ongoing medical oversight can receive diabetes management, regular visits from a speech therapist, short-term respite stays, and consultations with an on-call doctor—all delivered within the same community so transfers are minimized.
The community is secured and equipped with a sprinkler system for safety. On-site clinical services include medication management, dedicated memory care programs, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and hospice coordination. A licensed nurse is present, and specialty providers such as an occupational therapist, physical therapist, podiatrist, and dentist visit the property. A separate memory care wing is designed specifically for residents living with cognitive change, underscoring that this is a memory-care-only community within the larger residence.
Private and companion suites are available, and some offer wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and utilities included in the rate. Outdoor areas, gardens, parking spaces, and even a community piano or organ add practical and recreational touches, but not every unit comes with every feature, so families should verify specific room configurations during a tour.
Daily meals are prepared on site, and low-sodium options are part of the standard menu rotation to support physician-ordered diets. Staff oversee portioning and nutritional compliance, helping residents maintain stable blood sugar levels and meet individual dietary goals without added effort from family members.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, browse the library and computer lounge, join clubs and hobby groups, or take part in scheduled social outings. Reminiscence programs, birthday celebrations, and live music events round out the calendar, and outdoor access is encouraged when weather allows.
