BeeHive Homes of Bosque Farms sits just outside Los Lunas, New Mexico, in a quiet spot in Peralta with a home-like feel and friendly staff who watch after a small group of up to 15 residents, so you get to know everyone by name and it doesn't feel too big or too crowded, and folks seem to enjoy the slower pace and a sense of family that comes with having a smaller group. The single-story building's designed for easy access, with private rooms including ADA-approved bathrooms, and couples' rooms available if that's needed, and this place lets you bring your pet if you want company. There's a secure outdoor courtyard for some fresh air, quiet gardens, and walking paths, and the inside spaces include a dining room, comfortable living rooms, and a spot for movies, arts and crafts, and other activities that suit the different interests of residents, plus a hair and nail salon for those who like to look their best.
This community provides assisted living, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, respite care for those who need short stays, and they work with each resident and their families to make a personalized care plan, which the caregivers check on regularly and adjust if needs change, so folks keep as much independence as makes sense for them, while still having help close by with things like medication, getting dressed, or moving around the building. Staff is available 24 hours a day, every day of the week, and a consulting nurse is always on-call if there's a health concern, though the nurse isn't on staff full-time. There's a call system and emergency alert set up in case anyone needs quick help, and the place is secure but open enough so people don't feel boxed in.
Amenities include daily home-cooked meals, which a dietitian checks over to make sure they're healthy, and they'll do their best with special diets like for diabetes or allergies, so meals are more like what you'd expect at home, plus snacks and drinks throughout the day, and someone takes care of laundry, housekeeping, and most of the chores so residents don't have to worry about those things. There's help for personal grooming, and activities include things like fishing, quilting, and crocheting for those who want to keep their hands busy, and a steady set of group events and outings for social time.
BeeHive Homes of Bosque Farms also helps residents and families with topics like senior finances, social security, estate planning, and senior discounts, and assists with things that help older people age in place, such as transportation, medical alert systems, and safety checks, along with resources for choosing internet, hearing aids, and phones made for seniors. The housing options range from private and companion rooms to different kinds of senior apartments and living spaces.
Residents say the care is warm and thorough, as seen from a high average rating of 9.9 out of 10 and a strong local reputation. Staff focus on making the place feel like home, where people don't feel like strangers, and where someone's always nearby if help's needed, without making anyone feel like they've lost all their independence. The building looks and feels like a big home, with rooms that have telephones and cable TV, plus public Wi-Fi. BeeHive Homes of Bosque Farms is one of many BeeHive Homes communities, but it keeps its own close-knit feel while drawing from the broader support and experience of the network, and it's considered the highest-rated community in the area, according to local reviews.
