The Esplanade is a large, established 55+ community focusing on active living for adults. It sits near Rio Rancho Sports Complex and is close to shopping, cafes, green spaces like the Rio Rancho Water Wise Garden, the Esther Bone Memorial Library, Club Rio Rancho's country club, and golf course. The Esplanade has 114 single-level attached homes built between 1979 and 1992, each with two to three bedrooms, two to three bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and sizes from about 1,300 to just over 2,100 square feet. Many homes come with private courtyards, covered patios, and access to landscaped walking trails that wind throughout the neighborhood, which helps folks stay active and enjoy the outdoors, all while enjoying scenic views and lush landscaping in a close-knit, friendly, and carefree setting.
The Esplanade provides different types of care, so people can find the option that matches what they need, whether that's low-maintenance independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care programs for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's. There are also residential care homes for small groups who need daily help, as well as respite care for short-term stays. The staff assists with bathing, dressing, meals, and medication management, and the medical team provides 24-hour support for those who need it, including wound care, rehabilitation, and non-ambulatory care. There's an emergency alert system for peace of mind, and the goal's to help everyone stay as independent as possible while getting support if they need it.
Dining options fit various tastes and dietary needs, with a professional chef preparing meals served in a dining room or restaurant setting and all-day dining available. Homes and rooms include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, telephone, cable TV, and air conditioning for comfort. Housekeeping, laundry, concierge, and move-in help are also included as amenities, with help available for medication, meals, and getting dressed.
Residents have access to a fitness room, organized fitness programs, outdoor walking and jogging trails, a spa or wellness room, and daily scheduled activities like music programs, movie nights in the on-site theater, and arts and crafts in the activity rooms and library. The Esplanade also makes it easy to get around with transportation services and parking. Nearby there are pharmacies, restaurants, doctors, places of worship, and a theater for outings. Social events and resident-run activities help keep the community lively, and families find support services available when needed.
The community has no central clubhouse but instead uses outdoor and common spaces for events and relaxation. It's designed for people aged 55 and over looking for a simple, active lifestyle with different care levels if or when they need them, all in one place that feels settled and welcoming.
