Taos Living Center is a skilled nursing home that delivers 24-hour clinical oversight for residents who need ongoing medical supervision. Licensed nurses and on-site therapists coordinate closely with attending physicians to manage post-acute recovery, long-term conditions, and complex medication regimens. The facility runs a structured physical therapy program aimed at restoring mobility, balance, and strength after surgery, injury, or illness. For residents living with diabetes, staff track blood-glucose levels, administer insulin, and provide dietitian-guided meal planning to keep readings within target ranges.
Beyond the direct medical services, staff members assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. Care plans are updated regularly to reflect each resident’s changing needs, and families receive timely progress reports. The center also handles transportation to off-site medical appointments, offers respite stays when beds are available, and keeps certified nursing assistants on duty at all times to respond quickly to call bells.
Residences include a mix of private and shared rooms. Some layouts are pet friendly, and select units open to landscaped outdoor areas or overlook the community garden, but not every room has all of these options. Maintenance, housekeeping, and laundry are handled by staff to reduce daily burdens on residents.
Meals are prepared in-house three times a day with snacks available. Menu choices can be adjusted for low-sodium, vegetarian, kosher, or gluten-free diets to meet physician or resident requests. Nutrition staff follow standardized recipes, track calorie counts when prescribed, and coordinate closely with the diabetes management team to align carbohydrate intake with insulin schedules.
Residents have access to an activity center that supports clubs, arts and crafts sessions, and organized bingo games. Scheduled movie nights—both large-screen events and smaller TV viewings—run throughout the week, and live entertainment is booked when possible. A library and computer lounge provides space for reading or internet use, while planned social outings keep residents connected to the broader Taos community.
