Cottonwood Home sits in a peaceful part of Albuquerque, NM, looking like a single-family house with a tile roof and stucco outside, and you'll see landscaped yards, a backyard for quiet walks, and a patio where you can sit. The community is medium-sized, holding up to ten residents in either studio rooms, shared rooms, two-bedroom apartments, or units with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, all fully furnished, and you'll find extras like walk-in closets, a family room, an office, a breakfast nook, and even a fireplace, plus things like air conditioning, heating, a full kitchen, dishwasher, and double-paned windows. There are wheelchair-accessible showers, ground floor choices, and bath tubs as well, with internet, cable, and Wi-Fi available, so folks have the modern things most expect.
The staff gives support around the clock and helps with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving around, incontinence care, medication management, and non-ambulatory care, and they are ready for higher medical needs-there's memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, with systems to prevent wandering and reduce confusion, and they offer skilled nursing care, diabetic care, and even hospice when it's called for. On top of that, Cottonwood Home provides home health care (Medicare-Certified), non-medical home care, adult day services, and respite stays for those who need short-term help. The community is licensed for assisted living and gives a range of care options so folks can get what they need, whether that means independent living help or more involved nursing-home services.
Meals are served daily in dining rooms, with a focus on nutrition, and there are fitness programs, counseling, and nutrition advice for anyone interested-plus transportation to appointments or outings, and scheduled group activities like art, games, movies, or walks, all aimed at keeping people involved if they want to be. The living rooms are cozy, good for reading or small group games, and you can find a spot in the garden or on a private patio when you want some quiet time. Security is always on with a 24-hour system and emergency call buttons throughout, and the staff works to treat everyone with dignity and respect, helping maintain stability and a sense of belonging. There's a home-like feeling, with live-in caregivers offering help as needed, whether it's with medication, personal care, or just having someone nearby to chat with.
