Fairwinds – Rio Rancho offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, enabling residents to shift between service levels without changing communities. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, coordinate with outside physicians, and conduct routine wellness checks. Care staff are on site 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies, and each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system that links directly to the care team. On-site rehabilitation partners provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy as ordered, and scheduled transportation is available for follow-up appointments at nearby medical centers.
Beyond direct medical oversight, residents can receive help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and other daily tasks on an as-needed basis. Individual service plans are reviewed regularly to ensure support levels match current needs, and adjustments can be made quickly if a resident’s condition changes. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are bundled into the monthly fee, giving residents more time to join exercise classes, wellness seminars, and cognitive-fitness activities. A concierge desk arranges transportation, pharmacy deliveries, and coordination with outside home health or hospice providers when required.
Apartments range from studio suites to two-bedroom layouts. Features may include kitchenettes or full kitchens, step-in showers with grab bars, walk-in closets, individual climate controls, and in-unit washer-dryers, but not all accommodations have all the features mentioned. Utilities, basic cable, and weekly housekeeping are provided, and maintenance requests are handled by on-site staff.
Meals are prepared by a culinary team that offers restaurant-style service three times a day in the main dining room. Menus rotate regularly and can accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-ordered diets. A bistro serves lighter fare and snacks throughout the day, and room service is available when a resident is ill or prefers to dine privately. Special holiday meals, themed dinners, and a private dining area for family gatherings round out the dining program.
