The Arbors of del Rey

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

The Arbors of del Rey was renovated. It looked very nice, clean, well maintained, had a good appearance, looked like a new facility although it's older, and had a very welcoming environment in the living area. The staff was very caring and very active in looking after the residents. I appreciate that the management was very involved in not just supervising, but actually hands-on leading by example the staff. They were motivated to be very active and very alert to the residents' needs. They had board games…

Wouldn't recommend it.

This was a nice place years ago. Then the original owner Jackie I believe that was her name, sold it and the place called Aspen House. Really sad to see it now.

The Arbors of Del Rey far exceeds that of any other Assisted Living for Dementia/Alzheimer's in Las Cruces. The Care Partners are compassionate, respectful and loving to the Elders and most have the longevity that you don't find at other assisted living facilities. But the real difference is that this is truly a home for our loved ones and not a "facility." When my sister moved to the Arbors, I felt a sense of peace that I hadn't felt in several years caring for her.

The Arbors of del Rey is a very secure place. People coming into the facility will go into a nice waiting room, then a staff will come to greet you and let you in. Inside, it's beautiful. The rooms are around the sides, and in the middle is the dining room. They also have a craft area. The rooms do not have bathrooms. They have bathrooms in the pod so that careworkers can know and help the residents when they need to go. I just don't know how they'll know that, but I'm sure they have a way. They…

We were not particularly impressed with the layout. The residents didn't have their own bathrooms. The staff explained that it was a safety concern, since most accidents happen in the bathroom. However, I didn't think it would be nice to feel like you have to rush to get out of there. Also, they keep the closets locked. They explained that this prevents other residents from getting in to your belongings if they wander. However, I thought it would be a bit much to have to ask to change your clothes.
