Best we've seen and tried!

Not sure why someone would give this place a 1 star. Obviously they have not seen other places. I have my relative in this place for about 2 months and all I can say is that the caretakers, yes they are a little short-staffed, but they go well beyond to make the residents happy! There are not many residents (like most facilities in ABQ) and that is a big plus because it is like a little family. Plus flexibility to visit and call and special arrangements is a big plus! Absolutely, not major complains! Keep up the great work!!!

Do not recommend

Very poor location for an assisted living facility. Large homeless presence and frequent police activity in the area. While the building is surrounded by a large fence, it doesn’t prevent individuals from setting up camp nearby and yelling in the streets. The facility also lacks outdoor space—there is no courtyard, which makes the environment feel gloomy. During my visit, the staff appeared to be short-handed, and some caregivers seemed overwhelmed or had poor attitudes. The building itself also seemed to be in need of maintenance. They have no nursing staff or activity's director. Way too expensive for what I saw.

It's Okay

My husband is going through a transitional phase after a fall. The staff are doing their absolute best to make him comfortable and provide good care to him. The staff communicate with me very well and even told me that I can call my husband anytime I want. My husband also receives care from a hospice, that comes to him in his room. I would recommend this community for the good care and nice, helpful staff.

We are not happy with the Sandia Senior Suites!!

There is one employee at this community that works her butt off and they take advantage of her. They are understaffed and the caregivers also double as cleaning people. The community has roaches as they do not have the staffing to keep up on the maintenance. It is a beautiful community it is just not cared for. I have addressed my concerns with the owner unfortunately I have not seen any resolutions to the issues. I believe there are better places in the area.

Nice facility, but needs more activities

This is a nice facility and the staff is wonderful. They give one on one attention to the residents and they really seem to care. The facility is always clean, but there could be more activities to keep the residents engaged.

Pleasant staff

Sandia is a small, close knit community and that makes it very homey there. The staff is very pleasant and they really care and are attentive to the resident's needs. The only thing I can see that need improvement is the amount of activities. I think they need to keep the Senior's more active.

Limited Activities

Although, I really like and enjoy the Sandia Senior Suites, I feel like the selection of activities are limited. I understand that its very hot here and there are only limited to certain things in certain times of the year. Maybe the director could come up with a couple more activities for the residents to participate in. Other than that, we are very happy and satisfied.

Personal Experience

I feel like they did well in making it a personal experience for my loved one and they were sensitive to the family needs as well as the residents'. I think at times they could have had a little bit better staffing situation, but overall we enjoyed it.

We have been pleased so far with my mother's care at Sandia Senior Suites. I only gave activities a 4 because my mother does not participate in anything. I gave cleanliness a 4 because it's not immaculate but it's every bit as clean as my home. The personnel are very friendly and caring. She's getting the 24 hr care I could not give her at home any longer. My mother has some dementia so she's not always pleased all the time but most of her comments are good.

Genuinely Caring

I think that the caregivers that work there are genuinely interested in the well being of the residents. The place is small and manageable and for individuals that require some assistance, it is a great facility.
