20 Best Cna Programs In Albuquerque, NM (2022 Updated)

UNM is an awesome university! I'm currently a junior and throughout my three years here UNM has provided me with a number of opportunities, friends, resources and life skills. The campus is gorgeous, at all times of the year! People on campus are always friendly and there's always a ton going on. Aside from the great atmosphere, the staff and professors are extremely nice and always willing to help. I came here with no major in mind and was able to explore with the help of my advisor until I figured it out. I was able to create the degree that I wanted through the liberal arts program and my focus areas have opened so many doors for me! UNM has also provided me with the opportunity to go on exchange to another University for a whole year at the same price for tuition, amazing! I will always be grateful for the knowledge and skills I've gained as well as all of the amazing friends and colleagues I've made! I truly could not have asked for a better undergrad experience.Cassie Collister

This is a nice large clean campus. The only bad thing is probably the bicycle theft. Even if you use ulock, there's high chance that it might get stolen. Duck pond is one the best places to chill. Architecture building library has the best view of Sandia mountains from campus. If you love to watch full moon, Johnson field is a good place!Khandoker Nuzhat Rafa Islam

I have been going to the Coumadin Clinic for 10 years or so. They treat everyone like you are a part of their family. It's always been that way. I am very thankful for everything that they do for me. I had 2 other members of my family that had to go there also.Patrick Keller

I highly recommend Pima Medical Institute for anyone that wants to succeed in the field of radiography. The instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly, and well respected in their profession, and the clinical and program directors are very helpful and are always there for you every step of the way. What sets Pima apart from other radiography programs, is that the students have the opportunity to gain clinical experience in special modalities, and they will even assist with job placement! Pima Medical Institute definitely sets the standards for quality education!Jennifer Mirabal

Hello, graduate of the Class of 2022 Dental hygiene program here. As we were starting the program the covid shut down happened. The instructors and program director where very attentive to how they could make the program work. As much as we were adapting to school online, so were they. I personally felt the support from all instructors. As per clinic, I feel my skills evolved every semester and we are challenged to push ourselves more. I am grateful and able to practice what I learned in school at my office. I love my career and would definitely recommend it.Daisy Rodriguez

I went through the LPN program last year in the height of Covid. It was challenging but the support from the teachers was great! They did their absolute best trying to figure things out and help us figure things out as well. This program is very hard work but the amount of effort you as a student, shows in your personal outcome. Special thanks to Mrs. Vigil, she gave me such confidence in myself as a nurse and my own abilities, truly an amazing human. Pima is in good hands.Allycia Wade

I’ve attended Carrington College in Albuquerque for three programs! I started with Medical Assisting, which, after completing, was helped with externship placement, getting my certification, and job placement. After graduation from Medical Assisting, I went right into the Associates in Health Studies program and after graduating from that program, entered Medical Coding and Billing…… which, at the time of writing this, I have successfully completed and have just ordered my cap and gown for graduation!! After this, my last program will be the nursing program! Carrington has been absolutely instrumental in not only providing me with a solid education in healthcare, but also taught me the importance of professionalism, showing up early every day no matter what, the all-important resume writing, job interview techniques along with placement, and preparing me to take my certification tests in each program. During each course of study at Carrington, I learned just how vital certification actually is to our careers! Samantha guided me through the externship process after classes and was available for any questions, and words of encouragement along the way to completion! Paul in Financial Aid, was a sweetheart who walked me through the financial portion of all three of my programs! Bonnie Nolen directs programs with a great enthusiasm for furthering one’s education, and was always available for any questions, concerns, or just a much needed pep talk that kept me focused through my program! Bonnie knew quite well the many issues that can arise for those of us switching careers and returning to school! Thank you Carrington for giving me an amazing and wonderful experience! I highly recommend!R G

Carrington College in Albuquerque is the best! The staff is amazing, from ms. Terry always having the front smelling wonderful, along with a pleasant greeting/farewell each morning. To Ms. Bonnie checking up on you in class and sharing her stories. To Sonia and Kimberly working hard to demonstrate what professionalism looks like, scheduling mock interviews and getting us ready for externship. Of course saving the best for last, Ms.Ash is the absolute best Medical Assistant instructor! If you believe in yourself and put in the work she will teach you so much. The hands on experience and all the staffs hard work gets you ready for the real world workforce & I am so thankful I picked Tuesday & Thursday morning class. Choosing Carrington College to become a Medical Assistant was the best choice I could make.Brandy Ruiz-Cervantes

Carrington College Albuquerque is the best place to go if you are looking for support to get you through your program. I got support from everyone on campus, from the Administrative Assistant Mrs. Terry, to my Program Director Mrs. Bonnie. I have had the pleasure of having an amazing instructor, Mrs.Ash, who believed in me from the beginning and I achieved more than I thought I would when I first started. Having the hands on experience in the classroom really helps you when you are out on the job. I have learned so much from the Carrington College staff and I know I can always count on them when I need a helping hand.Wynona Duboise

Thank you for going above and beyond to help our family and friends get their certifications! My daughter babysits occasionally and wanted to be prepared for any situation. Julian was more than accommodating to our scheduling needs and was very patient and courteous with our younger learners. Although I have been through these classes before I felt like I left here with a lot more knowledge than I have from previous classes and instructors. We will definitely be using your services again!Jessica Thurgood

Nm Heats put on an extensive refresher course for The Pueblo of Laguna Fire Protection Program. They were more than accommodating with scheduling 3 shifts over 8 days allowing all to attend. Instructors were professional but also maintained a comfortable and non intimidating environment. Would recommend to any individual or Departments needing EMS refreshers/training. The LFPP will surely be working with NM Heats in the future.tony braunschweiger

Julian was an excellent instructor and the class was very informative with no stress. He does a great job explaining everything in an easy to understand way and makes all the details easy to remember! Very competitive price, small class and very welcoming environment. He went out of his way to address us by name and use real world examples. Highly recommend to everyone!Olivia Armstrong

I received CPR training and my certification with Christianna. She was such an awesome instructor!! I highly recommend taking her class if you need to get CPR certified. She made it fun and interesting! I recommend her class hands down!!L G

It was fast and simple, they advertise getting your card the same day. I need it for work and it’s been 3 days, still no card. Contacted them twice with no responsenicole hicks

Great concise class with Christianna I feel very prepared for going into the healthcare field. Take this if you want to be prepared and not be bored while learning!Jenna Atkins

This is such a great program! It's hands-on along with the bookwork. You learn in class and then get to practice on one another and have your own people come in for practice as well. The program is very flexible to fit in with your work or school schedule, financing and life. The instructors literally will go above and beyond to help you succeed.BethanyJean

Great instructor. Liz explained everything throughly, she gave yourself confidence when it came to your first "stick". Wouldn't have asked for a better instructor than herself. She is very opened about your questions, & believes you will make a great phlebotomist from the day you step into her class. 💉Jamie Yazzie

Huge shout out to the Phlebotomy Training Specialists! All the instructors where highly knowledgeable, professional and helpful. The hands on instructional course was great and helped me gain the skills and confidence needed to start a career in healthcare.Chantel Penney

They made me choose between my dying mother and my schooling. I should have known this place was sketchy when the instructors were always quitting, enrollment was low, and the main instructor for my course couldn’t read. Unprofessional is putting it lightly. They preach about being understanding to get you enrolled, then totally blindside you with changes and expect the students to adapt without warning. One of the instructors was upset she didn’t get a full time position, then took that aggression out on her students. She mistreated and verbally abused a student so much that the student dropped out. After this incident, the instructor openly mocked and made fun of her in front of other students. What kind of instructor gossips to her students about her students? I learned more about the instructor’s jail bird boyfriend more than the actual curriculum. This place is a joke, instructors are a joke, and I wouldn’t waste my time. Get an appropriate education at a legit university where the instructors can actually read.Felicia Martinez

Scam artists. They’ll tell you that they will work around your work schedule and you will start in a fundamental course once you start the program but then start you in an advanced course forgetting to mention the courses are in a loop. But when you ask what to do so you can at least be caught in the class is told to get “computers for dummies” by an instructor that doesn’t have any certification. Then also told that your work schedule is causing an issue with school. Leaving you to have to drop the courses and also leaving you 16 thousand in debt with nothing learned.Michael Romero

Well now that im coming to the end of term and graduation i am sorry to inform that some staff are awsome financial-aid is okay. I was not happy about checks they would get news that checks where on the way and would inform students but when it was time they where not in its not the people who work in the financial department fault i blame how the corporate office runs the school i do not recommend this school i mean the teaching is great… But please fully understand this school put alot of research befor going here👍👎desiree vidal-montoya

I have been an employee of The Good Samaritan Society Manzano del Sol for over four years, and I'm blessed to say that it is in the top two organizations that I have worked for in my 40 year career. Management and staff are warm, friendly and centered on one mission: to serve the residents and patients in our care. Many of the staff members have been here 10, 15, 20 years or more, and I think it speaks highly of an organization that can retain it's people that well. The residents are a delight and serving them gives meaning to my life and career. Working with the senior population certainly has it's challenges – especially during the hardships that the pandemic presents, however having a supportive, cohesive team in place makes such a difference. Manzano del Sol is not Shangri-La…. every place has its struggles and problems, and we are no different. I guess that's why they call it "work". If you have to work somewhere, you should work here. I know that I love working here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else!Vera Schaffer

My Mother moved into Manzano in 2018. Since day 1 of her moving in, she and my entire family have been happy with that decision. Staff and residents alike are all genuinely happy and friendly! The wonderful activities taking place on a regular basis have slowed because of COVID, but staff still arranges COVID safe events for their residents. They recently organized a COVID vaccination event, to take place in their dining hall. My Mother had been very anxious about receiving the vaccine. The day she received the vaccine, she called to tell me how well organized the event was and that she very happy to have participated. I live out of town, so am not able to visit as often as I would like, but my Mother is amazingly happy and upbeat every time I talk to her, and I give credit to the Manzano staff for her positive attitude. Thank you, Manzano!!P Brunner

If only zero was an option. My father was there for rehabilitation from pneumonia, for 3 long days, (because I took him out) He was neglected, his room was dirty, no one ever came in to clean it. The Occupational Therapist was demeaning, an assuming rude know it all. The nurse on duty told me, "I wouldn't leave my parents here either" I thank her for that! That statement says it all! They were very efficient getting all the insurance information but not any personal information about my Father. He has zero hearing, they Assumed he only spoke Spanish, they are Ignorant & racist. I can't say enough bad things about this place. If you want your parents to go somewhere to be neglected, this is the place for you! Sick how these places use seniors for insurance money, and most seniors don't have voices, or family to expose them like my Dad doesDebbie Mcguinness

I don't know who in the world would give this place a positive review. My time there was miserable and stressful. The instructor is totally unprofessional. No doubt that he knows his stuff, but his teaching methods are sloppy. A lot of things we were tested on weren't even in our CNA book, just your best educated guess. The instructor can be very rude, intimidating, and condescending. If you do not have a background in caregiving then this is not the place for you; you blow by the subjects fast. I'd recommend CNM which is more in depth with nicer instructors that don't insult you (per my coworkers), and it's half the price. When you get to the skills sessions, you're expected to perform the skills perfectly right off the bat when you've had minimal instruction. We literally watched the skills videos once (in class) and were expected to study notes on the skills at home, and then perform the skills perfectly in class after briefly watching the videos. It's much different to watch a video, or read instructions on how to do a skill, then actually perform the skill the first couple of times. You are unable to practice the majority of these skills at home due to lack of equipment. God forbid you make a mistake, you will be yelled at, humiliated in front of others, and told to sit down. If you don't have a thick skin, move on.The instructor should be showing you how to perform each of the skills, walking you through the skill, and helping you when you get stuck at a certain point, not embarrassing you. It's a learning experience and will take lots of practice. You have to look up the CNA skills on YouTube if you want to gain understanding. The morning class fairs better than the evening class, most of the time you're allowed to leave early in the evening and lose out on practice time and video time.Beth Sager

I took this course back in 2015 and have been in so many different rehab centers, Assisted Living, Long Term care and private Patients. This Course is quick but very informative and gets you where you want to be in the time you want. I've read some reviews of ppl complaining about the instructor and his methods and being put on the spot lol sound like cry babies. Sly has a great teaching method, almost perfect passing percentage ratings, if ppl cannot take a little bit of uncomfortability or being put on the spot at times you won't last in the nursing field get a different profession. Nursing isn't for the weak hearted. Thank You UHHC yell have made a great impact on my life and my profession.Pam Salzman

Excellent teacher, mentor, instructor! I can’t say enough about the whole experience. I love doing what I do and I am good at what I do because of Sly. Thank you again!Carol Everett

"Comfort Keepers to the rescue! It is my privilege to recommend Comfort Keepers to everyone seeking help with an aging parent. As anyone reading this is aware: finding a caregiver for your aging loved one is by far one of the top 3 most difficult decision you will have to make. But anyone who has, can’t help but note the similarities: the constant anxiety combined with overtaxed patience, for instance, the dubiously rewarding insurance vs. healthcare opportunities. My father needed protection. I had to have a mentor, and together we could not navigate our journey without the right support. " Per Ray MillerAmanda OBrien

I was fortunate enough to work with the owner of this facility, Sheryl Inglat, on a project to educate seniors and their families about the the prevalence and seriousness of senior malnutrition in today's society. She is a very knowledgable gerontologist who seeks to always put the wellbeing of her clients first. I strongly recommend Sheryl and her company if you are looking for a professional and compassionate organization for your caregiving needs.Grace Clark

Very unprofessional. Michelle is very disrespectful and there isnt anyone in office who will help you in any way when it comes to how michelle is speaking to you as if ur beneath her. She lies and allowed shania lujan to talk about a black employee to me while on the job. She also informed me that the black girl was fired and that information was given to het by michelle. Very unprofessional and ignorantLena Bouman

This class was such a great experience. Due to covid, our class ran a bit longer than intended, but Mary was determined to give us all the skills necessary to build a great foundation. Our class became somewhere we were all excited to go. The most beneficial part of this class has to be the experience you gain. I finished the class with over 80 blood draws and finger sticks (wow). Not only does Mary provide a great learning environment with her own background, she also brings in other experienced phlebotomist to give us the opportunity to pick their brains as well. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to pursue phlebotomy. You’ll leave this class actually a little bit sad that it’s over, or at least that was my experience. And if you struggle, Mary is always willing to match your effort and give extra help.Nicole Rost

If you want to become a phlebotomist. Look for a professional institution and a capable instructor. Unrespectfull behavior from the instructor from day one. Don't waste your money to be bullied by someone that is not a professional. All students complain of being under lot of stress, so confused about the information, the book has many inconsistencies, Go somewhere else or you regret it.M Rnk

I LOVED Mary’s class. She taught me all the skills and knowledge I would need to know to succeed in being a phlebotomist. When I started my job I was kinda just thrown in but because of the skills I was taught I was able to succeed in my job. If you are looking to start your career in phlebotomy I would HIGHLY recommend her class you will not be disappointed.Merissa Ortega

It is my professional opinion and my recommendation is to the world's Court industry of the words Republic and for what we stand on the truth of definition. On behalf of the rest of the life guards official I would like to spend special care and thanks to (PA)Pamela Anderson and the rest of the Baywatch team thank you for taking my considerations for having kiteboarding to be implemented for our lifeguards for easier spotting of dangerous conditions of struggling swimmers that got sucked out into the riptide. I would like to thank the Red Cross (RC) for a properly demonstrating the necessary requirements for these lifeguards in these 50 states of the United States of America to ensure the best safety policies and procedures are implemented for the future of our existence of our loved ones. Thank you for the demonstration of (CPR). Not to be confused with Colorado Public Radio. Operation Saving Lives (77)(65)(55) Blake Edward WestdykBryon Blake West Dyk III Hamburger

I took a CPR/AED/first aid class there. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient. I feel much more confident in my ability to handle an emergency situation now. Also appreciated that there was an online portion that I could do at home.Danielle Rudder

They where not a help at all after our place burned down and my family and I lost every thang we had we asked for help and they said there was nothing they could do so my family and I were homless liveing on the streets for two weeksRachel Bush

My wife took a Paella cooking class at Los Altos church July 22, 2014. Not only was the kitchen not too nice to cook in, but the teacher was not pleasant at all or a good teacher. The finished Paella was not good at all. This was a really disappointing experience for her as there were several other cooking classes she wanted to take but they are all by this same teacher. Now she won't be taking them.Jeffrey Carlson

My husband and I took a cooking class with Gilda. She was the most unpleasant person I've been around in a long time. She was short tempered with her students, sarcastic, and generally overall nasty. Doesn't matter if she is a good cook. If she can't teach without being polite to her students, she is not competent.Anita Briscoe

UNM wants to INCREASE TUITION but continues to hold onto white elephant properties like this Continuing Ed building???? Sell this sucker and get organized! UNM is the most poorly administered university in the country.Fiona Brown

Be sure to read the guidelines before going in and you will not have any issues every department hapartments has wonderful people there to answer your questions or help you with your needs.. I myself am actually disabled and go to school for for film on a scholarship for disabled individuals and I have had amazing support the entire way through Not only that but the Dean the entire staff is really great and now the campus has improved to the Overall fuel of the campus it's a nice place to be to hang out and and they have made plenty of spaces where students can actually be even when between classes or doing homework doing homework etc. There are a number of labs where you can use the latest technology and the latest software often So you really have many options and options and I would recommend CNM I graduated with 2 of my degrees and I am working on one more and I have been to UNM but CNN has much more intimate classes and not only that tleave that that I find the quality he is better as well Instead of quantity being focused on quality is focused on so you will have some amazing professors. Who definitely do not get paid enough for what they're doing in fact the entire staff really is underpaid for what they do but as far as everything with the campus goes I would recommend that I would recommend that I would recommend looking up the website so you know where you're going if you're looking for something in particular you'll be able to find that rather easily through the website and you can also chat with someone if you need to. You can find help with everything from Career advancement job place manic cetera to next Saturday to financial aid and so on. The new buildings and the additions and renovations to the other buildings at the main campus are top notch and I really loved being at the school I'm disappointed that disappointed that I have to move to a 4 year school it's been a honor.Rye Lu (edisiuS One)

I set up my classes almost 3 weeks in advance with an advisor. A week before classes were supposed to start (today) I called and talked to 3 seperate people. A man in the advisor office, a woman at the cashiers office, and a woman in the financial aid office. Each person confirmed my payments were set up and I was good to go for classes. I went on an out of state trip and came home to DOZENS of texts and emails saying my classes were getting dropped. I paid $50 to keep the classes, and I was still dropped from my classes. I called and talked to an advisor who said there was basically nothing they could do, and told me that a higher up would call me. Its been a week since then and I still havent heard anything, I still dont have my money back. Im heartbroken and distraught. Every time ive tried to call since speaking with the advisor, ive been hung up on every single time. CNM preaches inclusitivity, then excludes the disabled students. Absolutely ridiculous and im still fuming.SomeCryptid

Don’t go to this school if you’re trans. On their website there’s a name change request for trans students that doesn’t require paperwork, yet I’ve been running in circles for a week and getting zero progress. When I bring it up, no one in student services even knows what I’m talking about and IT had to have me lead them to the form. You would think that they added the form last week without telling anyone. I went to UNM last semester and the school let you change your own name within blackboard and it was updated within 24hours. The process at CNM is so difficult and ridiculous and the help services just transfer my call to other departments as if they don’t know who can handle the issue. After this semester I’m transferring back and staying at UNM.azul

This school is aweful. The teachers are extremely disrespectful towards the students and the environment is not that great. The bullying and cyber bullying is high and the students are just so rude to one another. The academics are alright but the staff does not try to help their students who are failing. If your failing, they take away the students lunch time which does help them at all. For parents who are looking to put their child at this high school, I highly recommend that you don't.Anonymous Person

The Early College Academy/Career Enrichment Center is truly an amazing school in every aspect. It is highly recognized and respected within its district. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to better their future during high school. The opportunities can be endless. Give the administration a call and, I'm sure, they'll be more than happy to help you and make you feel welcomed and comfortable!Manuel Marquez

The learning quality is top-notch, and the staff are attentive and caring, and the students are well-behaved. Other than the frequent fecal-smearing on the walls, homeless break-ins, and the occasional microwave explosion, it is a healthy learning enviroment.Alexander Cortez

I came down here to talk to Shanna T Sanchez she is the program manager for the workforce Training Center she gently explain to me all the. Cuz it's that I need to obtain my class A CDL learner's permit and drive test with them this is an awesome place to come to there's a security desk is also a help desk and information computer readily available to use to accomplish these goals that anyone set for themselves thanks guys I really appreciate the help hopefully this helps us better our careers and propels us in the right direction with easy step-by-step process like this it's a no-brainerRuben Sanchez

Did a workshop here as a presenter and I really enjoyed and appreciated it! The staff who got us settled in and took care of us, like Lewis and Pedro, were incredible. Everything ran so smoothly -the tech was the best – and the facilities are comfortable and easy to navigate. Parking and location are nice features too. If you're for a space to do a course or workshop, don't hesitate to do it here!Lisa Matthews

Great place, wish it was around when I went to UNM because I would have gone there for sure people I've talked to so far really nicecan I have some awesome advanced computer science courses at the other location so after I take a few courses i might have to come back and change these four stars to fivetim depies

As a former employee I feel compelled to warn anyone with loved ones in the care of this organization to check in regularly and often with the staff and make sure everyone is following the rules and is taking their training seriously. In all honesty, the staff should be comprised of actual nurses, not random folks with minimal training about administering medication and health care services. Night staff tend to sleep because they don’t get paid well enough for what this job entails so they have to work multiple jobs and physically cannot stay awake all night. Generally caring staff but definitely underpaid, under qualified for the requirements of the job and overworked.Erin Crooks (Erin)

Thanks u for the job in bargain square in Los lunas area 😊😊😊 I've love it nd I've got in trouble over there couple of time when I'm not wearing the adelande shirt 😢😢 my boss lady at work she supposed to give us a shirt to order ND she didn't ND I'm still waiting on my still 😢 me ND my mom we actually talk to her one time about that ND my boyfriend Daniel romero to he was asking the same question as my mom does 😊 nd I've got a raise over there ND I'm working on Tuesday to get more money 😊😊KRISTA Garcia

The people that work for this organization is what makes Adelante so caring and instrumental in providing care and services for those in need. The commitment and passion they have for the local community's needs and wants is what makes this a top notch organization.Jess Parker

I thought this place was great, I was attached to AJCC but what made me want to change the way how I think of AJCC is the fact that the Office Administration Instructor Dwight Thompson refused to help me with my accommodations. I also have a IEP I have a learning disorder. So I went to speak with the Disability Coordinator about him one day and she went on the phone to speak with him and she was kind to him not when she found out, she got very mad at him. And I got so offended that I did not want him around me. I respect the Disability Coordinator for getting mad at him. But when made me upset the most was when I decided to go on medical leave for the second time and I got discharged from the hospital but the new center director decided to separate me from the program for six months and I had nowhere to go. But I found myself out of that situation. And I told them that I’m not going back to AJCC because I’m so offended for what they have done for me. They said that they would help me but instead, they threw me out on the streets all because I was crying out for help. Several months later, I decided to leave the state of New Mexico because i felt like they have failed me. It’s a shame because I was born in Albuquerque but I realized that wherever I was born does not defined on who I am as a person, I just wanted to have a healthy new start in my life. I rather give this place 0 stars because of what they did.The Silent Pro

I'm enrolled here, Here everything is good around, the trades here are decent, but there is a lack of staff and student communication. By that, sometimes the staff and students don't get along very well, sometimes it's on the staff's part and sometimes on the student's part, it's a confusing cycle. On the other part everything here is in an improving state, and again there are some lack of communication, and miscommunications. This is an good opportunity to have trade skill, find a job, go to college, and/or to better improve yourself. I mean, I'm here for a reason, thanks to my procrastination. But I'm here getting a trade and going back to college. Here I made wonderful friends here in different age groups, and some I have never knew what we have in common. All in all this place is good place, not great but good. Just try to keep yourself out of trouble and respect your peers and staff alike.Maui

I was in job corps in 19 71–72. I graduated from there with secretarial skills. I learned a lot from going there. It made me realize that there was more to life than partying. I grew up in there. The instructors taught very well. If you didn’t get a good education there, it was because you didn’t want one. Yes there were rules, but those were there for your benefit. I have nothing but good things to say about job corps. I took a civil service test and had gotten a job at the VA Medical Center. I actually retired from there. My suggestion would be for students to take advantage of a well-rounded education.Diane Rhodes

I've been here for 6 days now and am preparing for discharge home. I am feeling prepared in every way. I was very anxious abut coming here after a big surgery. Being a retired nurse of 48 years I wasn't ready to be on the "other side." I have learned so much from both OT and PT and speech therapy that I will use for the rest of my life. The nurses and CNA's are amazing. All the staff work well with one another. All the rooms are private and beautiful decor. Have refrigerator and microwave. Beautiful cabinetry. I feel like I'm in a hotel with all the accouterments available to aid in myt recovery. The building and grounds are beautiful. Just wish COVID restrictions weren't in place so I could enjoy more but I appreciate administration keeping our safety in mind. Thank you so much for helping me in my recovery and making my stay such a positive experience. Sarah the Assistant DON is the bomb. She helped me on my admission along with my daughter. She visited me occasionally and brighten my spirits every time. Made me laugh! I know I have forgotten names so I hope you'll forgive me. Carol, speech therapist, Lea PT, and Susan OT helped me and taught me things I'll use the rest of my life. Not just in my recovery. Nurses Pat and Jim just simply ROCK! They are wonderful as is nurse Kat who admitted me. She connected with me immediately as I'm sure she does with every patient. Of course I can't forget nurse Sidney, she was absolutely terrific. Took such great care of me and my daughter who will be helping me at home. Ancillary departments were wonderful. Housekeeping and all the CNAs keep the rooms and everywhere sparkling. I can't say enough about the food. All of it was so delicious! I have a thing with eggs (poached in particular) and refuse to attempt to make them myself and have never found anyone who can make one. They consistently make the "perfect" poached egg. Best I've eaten in my long lifetime. I ordered them every morning. The kitchen slips onto to your tray if diet appropriate a dessert that is homemade as everything else. I loved these little treats.The CNAs helped me the most especially at night and days. I wish I could remember names better. The maintenance and transport drivers Silver and Marcell are so personable! If I ever have a need for services like these again I'd wait as long as I possibly could just to get a bed here. I can't forget Brook PA-C who visited me several times throughout my stay to make sure I was getting all of the the medications and treatments I need during my stay and after discharge. Thank you again one and all (named and unnamed) for everything you do. To Administration kudos for hiring all the right people.Marcia Fernandes

I have had a family member stay at this facility multiple times. I highly encourage you to do your research before choosing to have your loved one stay at this facility. Please do not be fooled by ill fitting suits and the pretty decor. The care your loved one will receive here is NO different than any other Genesis or Avamere facility in ABQ. There are great therapists at EVERY facility and I truly hope you do some good research prior to selecting this establishment. Unless you are able to stand on your own and do most of the work yourself you can expect to be blatantly ignored by the staff walking by. If you become too "needy" they will shut your door and "accidentally" put the call bell where you are unable to reach it. Don't bother bringing your complaints to the administrator either! Their reputation must proceed them in the nursing field as the competent and skilled nurses that once worked there have all moved on to better facilities and now they employ anyone with a license! For some good reading on this "5 Star" (HA) facility NM in Depth has some insightful information on this facility and its "leaders".Linda Reynolds

After visiting my loved one here multiple times I will say that I am surprised by the amount of 5 star reviews this facility has. I can agree that this is a wonderful looking building and relatively clean. All flash, no substance. The therapy is disappointing with less than an hour of therapy per day. Grossly under qualified administration and highly incompetent nurses that are incredibly short staffed. If you wander in on a weekend you can be sure to find all the nurses sitting at the nursing station and not a tech in sight! Sure hope your loved one or friend doesn’t need any help!Cindy L

I had the pleasure of participating in the Certified Nursing Aide program with TJ Chavez as my instructor! I had an amazing experience in the class and doing clinical skills with the best instructor ever! I highly recommend the class with him as the instructor!Alexis Drake
