The Neighborhood in Rio Rancho offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, making it possible for residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. A secured environment is in place for those who need it, particularly Memory Care residents. Short-term respite stays can be arranged, giving family caregivers relief while ensuring continuity of clinical oversight. Routine medical attention is available from an on-site doctor, and a speech therapist addresses communication or swallowing challenges, adding another layer of clinical coverage for residents with specific therapeutic needs.
Additional health services are delivered on campus to limit outside appointments. Nursing staff provide incontinence and ambulatory care, while physical and occupational therapists help residents maintain or regain mobility and daily-living skills. A program specifically designed to accommodate memory loss supports cognitive health and safety, and hospice care is available when needed. A massage therapist offers non-invasive pain and stress management, rounding out a range of services intended to reduce hospital visits and keep residents stable in their familiar surroundings.
Residences are arranged to suit varied mobility and lifestyle preferences. Some apartments include wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, balconies or patios, decks, and designated parking. Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV hookups, and air conditioning are standard in many units, and select common areas feature a central fireplace for gathering. Not every apartment carries every feature, so prospective residents may want to confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining follows an all-day service model with restaurant-style table service. Standard menus are supplemented with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar options to accommodate medical or personal dietary needs. Guests are welcome to join residents for meals, and staff remain available to assist with portioning and monitoring nutritional intake.
Residents have access to an activity center, organized clubs, and a library and computer lounge for self-directed or group engagement. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and yoga—including chair-adapted sessions—support daily movement. Regularly scheduled dances, live music sessions, social outings, and a swimming pool add further opportunities for exercise and connection.
