Nice place but way too expensive for my budget. Close to shopping for groceries , gas, and my PC Dr. Just can't afford it on a low income at 84.

Our experience

We moved my brother in law and his wife, who was living in another long term care facility to the veterans home in truth or consequences, New Mexico They had been on a waiting list. However, we were very pleased with Avamere in Rio Rancho. When the veterans home was available for them both, they wanted to be together. We would recommend Avamere to other families.

Review for Avamere at Rio Rancho

The staff is friendly and cooperative. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one. They represent a good value in a very expensive market.

Avamere at Rio Rancho

The assistance I received from [name removed] and [name removed] was amazing. They took on the difficult task of dealing with the facility in Roswell to arrange my mother's transfer. The assisted living home in Roswell did not make things easy but the staff at Avamere was persistent. They even helped me arrange transport. Once my mother arrived at Avamere everything was ready making for a smooth transition. My mom has been a resident for almost 2 months and I have no complaints.

They're not as vibrant and lively. We just saw a few people in the independent area. It didn't seem like there were a lot of people around, although I think the community is a…
