I left after two months because they will promise you the world but they aren't able to meet those promises. I'm a vegetarian and they had salads for me, and baked potatoes, but even a high protein dish like beans & rice was difficult to get. I especially liked the children's park next door. It was delightful to walk down there.

I toured the facility in Rio Rancho, NM and was thoroughly impressed by the property, the employees and the residents. I found a community of super friendly people. The residents during the tour all said good morning, inquired about whether I planned to move into the property and expressed their total satisfaction with living there. Several even said that “its a great place”. The facility is beautiful and looks to be well maintained. They have many amenities including a gym, access to an external park located next to the property, a friendly activities director, and a theater and chapel among other things. The individual taking me on the tour was the marketing director, Michele Marcon who is responsible for community sales. I found Michele to be personable and genuinely interested in providing the best tour possible. I was shown several beautifully decorated apartments as we engaged in a friendly conversation during the tour. Michele even invited me to have a meal with in the dining hall at the property so that I could meet and engage in conversation with other residents to get their perspective on the place. I did return 2 days after the tour for a lunch meal and was further impressed by the kindness and care of the employees and was delighted by openness and friendliness of the residents I met. This property is at the top of my list as I move into retirement at the end of this year.

This is a beautiful, relaxing friendly and safe home for me. All the staff from the managers to the kitchen and cleaning staff down to the residents make you feel comfortable and secure. Cleaning has been the highest of quality during these difficult time. My favorite part of my day is meditating and stretching in the garden and enjoying the Sadia Mountain view. It has been a true pleasure to be a resident here.

The Rio Grande has been a wonderful new home for my mother. Its fun joining her for meals, movies, popcorn, and 24, 7 ice cream at the complex. She has made many friends and is always busy with activities, games, and events hosted by the Rio Grande. The location next to A Park Above is also perfect for her daily walks. What a great place for Mom! (Thanks to a very supportive staff, too)

Was looking for a place for my parents, went to a lot of different places and The Rio Grande was the nicest one we have found in the Albuquerque area. The staff was great and the food was out of this world. It is a beautiful building with a indoor theater, library, and gym. My parents love it and will be moving in. They offered them a trial stay and said it was a great place. I have not seen them happier. If you are looking for your love ones, I recommend The Rio Grande above all others.

My grandmother lives here and it is truly an amazing place. A hired chef cooks all of the meals, and are pretty delicious. There is a movie theater, a library, and so many more amenities for the residents.

I moved my mom into a one bedroom on April 15, 2013 and have spent quite a bit of time with her. The food is fantastic and the facilities are top notch. My husband calls it a cruise ship with a zip code! My mom is extremely happy, and my mind is at ease with the excellent facilities and the caring and loving staff. I can recommend this facility with no reservations, and I am a former social worker and am now a chaplain....
