Share Your Care - Gallup sits at 1800 Red Rock Dr in Gallup, New Mexico, and runs as an adult day care center serving adults and seniors who need help during the day, which can be important for families who work or just need a break, and they welcome men and women starting at age 18 without a maximum age, so you'll find a mix of adults there, and while there's sometimes a waiting list, they try to keep payment flexible with donation and sliding scale options so more people can get the care they need. The center isn't about fancy marketing; you get a safe place with trained staff, and there's always a consulting nurse and pharmacist around, so families can feel more at ease when they leave loved ones there. The staff puts focus on care and kindness, offering continuous supervision, nutritious meals, and snacks through the day, with activities like table games, puzzles, arts and crafts, music, outings, scenic drives, council meetings, and even yoga and massage sessions if someone likes those, so people keep busy and don't end up sitting around alone, which helps stop isolation that often happens when someone's at home all day or when a nursing facility just isn't a good fit.
People living with memory loss from Alzheimer's or other dementias can get guidance and safe supervision here, which is good for folks who get confused or need a watchful eye. The center also handles help with daily living-things like bathing, eating, or getting around-and case managers work with families to line up whatever support or insurance details they need, so it can take some stress off everyone involved. There's a set of monthly activity calendars, so everyone knows what's happening, and programs are built to fit different interests and energy levels, making sure there's something for people with all kinds of abilities so no one feels left out, plus there's transportation when someone can't get a ride.
Share Your Care has other locations, including Rio Rancho Presbyterian Church in Rio Rancho and 2651 Pan American Freeway in Albuquerque, and several others around the area, which helps families who move or have loved ones in different parts of New Mexico. The goal has always been about helping people stay active, eat well, and connect with others, while giving family caregivers a real break, all in a way that makes sense for the budget, so folks can keep living at home longer without feeling alone or at risk. You can visit for a personalized tour, see how things run, meet the staff, and get a feel for whether it fits your loved one's needs, knowing the center is aimed at improving quality of life for both adults and the people caring for them.
