BeeHive Homes of Gallup has a small, home-like setting with only 12 to 16 residents, which helps people feel like they're part of a family. Residents share meals that are home-cooked in the kitchen, and they can spend time in a big living room with plenty of space for visits and games or just talking with friends. The building design includes wide hallways, soft lighting, and open common spaces that make it easy to get around, so people can safely move from their private rooms-which all have attached, ADA-compliant bathrooms-straight to the dining and gathering areas. Every bedroom has a private telephone jack and cable TV access, while spacious, climate-controlled layouts let people bring in their own touches from home, including furniture or favorite blankets.
Caregivers offer support around the clock, helping with daily needs like hygiene, meals, and medication, and they're trained to help those with dementia by providing gentle structure and security. The staff-to-resident ratio means everyone gets attention and help with daily routines, and there's always someone nearby if a resident presses their pendant emergency call system, day or night. There's electronic security, enclosed yards, and patios, so those in the memory care side can get sunlight and fresh air while staying safe. Activities are a big part of the day, with daily exercises, social gatherings, group outings, and hobbies like quilting, fishing, or just reading in a quiet spot inside or out on the porch. Some residents even join in pet therapy sessions or get haircuts from visiting beauticians.
Meals are made fresh and designed by dietitians to help residents stay healthy. The dining room feels like a family table, where people eat together and share stories. Residents can choose private or semi-private rooms, and couples' rooms are offered if people ask. Utilities like cable TV, telephone, and Wi-Fi come with the monthly rent. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided every day, and clean linens are always available.
Families know their loved ones can stay here for short stays too, thanks to respite care options, which can help after a hospital visit or when family carers need a break. Memory care is available for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the layout includes clear paths and comforting cues that help those with memory problems feel at ease. BeeHive Homes of Gallup accepts individuals who want to keep independence but need some support, providing care that's shaped to fit each person's needs. Professional partners can come in for nursing care, hospice, or therapy if needed, and extras like on-site barber or pedicure services are available for a fee. Residents enjoy belonging to a community, taking in mountain and garden views from the patios, and building friendships with others their own age. Staff treat everyone as an individual, supporting physical, emotional, and social well-being, and helping families feel included and confident in the care given.
