My mother is very well taken care of and I have zero worries about her care or needs at Avista. I've often visited on varying days of the week and at varying times and the level of care is always very good. They have many core staff members that have been there for the entire time (and longer) that my mother has been in their care. The current Executive Director has been in her current position longer than any other ED at this facility and has all of the staff and residents concerns at heart. The consistency, the cleanliness, the care, the food are all at the highest benchmarks in the industry. They also engage the residents in many activities from group exercises to arts and crafts to singalongs. I could not recommend Avista more highly and know that anyone's loved one would be very well cared for at this facility.

Well, I plucked my dad out of this godforsaken facility before they killed him! He is now in a…read morefacility where he thrives. He has energy because he is properly hydrated and nourished. He's incorporated into activities, spoken to, as though he's a human, rather than an object. His body is no longer purple from the waist up from the untrained, unskilled mishandling him. He's not dropped on the floor, not transferred inappropriately and not in bondage on the floor in all day long. He is beginning to walk again at 102 years old, his mental state is far better, as are his cognitive abilities. Woodmark administration is lousy, non-caring, non-responsive, non-accountable. I unfortunately left my father there for one year, believing he's self injured as I was told until he himself told me that he will not move or ask for anything because they hurt him, and he is scared for his life. I quickly removed him before they killed him, they demanded the next months rent anyway. I called APS and they failed to comply to their recommendations. Woodmark feels to distribute medication's timely and left my dad without morphine after being prescribed for injuries, they caused. Heartless! They do not chart properly, and his injuries do not match up with those that Hospice came in treated. I trusted them, and all they did was lie to me. I am so glad that I remove my father and put him somewhere where he now enjoys life. When I attempted to contact their corporate heads, which are national, they do not respond. It is their culture.

My mom had to stay in this hell hole for a month, which was gravely short staffed and over worked. Violeta a female tech, made fun of my mom in front of her face for not being able to walk. My mom suffers from a neurological disease that causes her to basically become paralyzed. Because she was unable to walk, Violeta made fun of her for that, calling her dramatic. My mom was often left soaked in diapers for hours which gave her a uti which they tested her for and two weeks later her results came back "negative" but then they realized it was "positive". She ended up getting a bed sore that my mom's friend had to point out and Manzanos response was that they won't do anything about it until it's a stage 3 bed sore. This place is a money hungry hell hole that lies to their residents. They quoted my mom $250 for a transport and once the transport was done they said it was $450. I would highly recommend all the people with their negative reviews to report this place to Ombudsman 18664512901. There have been a few CNAS at this place who were compassionate and amazing. Those nurses are Anastasia, Destiny, Shana & Mabel. Kitchen staff and food was great.

It is not fancy, or hoitey toitey like many across the country. It is also not poverty level living. Not ostentatious, but a gracious feel does permeate this place. I rather like the great room, an expansive space with comfortable chairs and couches, a table or two. Nice rich color scheme, with lovely decorations that are changed for the season, though the main art features stay put year round. A lovely sculpture with the Brookdale Tree of Life is high above, in this massive two story space. As you enter the front door, the front desk is on the right, looking over this expansive space. My mom really enjoys the main feature of this large living room, the grande piano that is well used here. They schedule musical features throughout the month with some good talent, who enjoy performing the songs of old. Some are professional, some are volunteer organizations and individuals. No matter what, it is deeply appreciated by the residents and the staff. Music really does sooth the savage beast and eases the loneliness that can occur as we age. The communal feel is there, sharing the music that has been enjoyed through out their lifetimes. This particular Brookdale is safely enclaved,within a lovely 6' iron fence, with a gate that closes in the evening. Opened by buzzing the intercom to get back on the property, there is good security in place, including cameras outside and in the hallways and main areas. Nice grounds are well maintained. Trees, grass and flowers, nice walking paths. Concierge Services: Having someone available at the front desk, 24/7 gives a lot of comfort to residents as well as their families, who often worry about their loved ones well being. It can be very frightening to age in this society, but Brookdale does try to help in many ways. Definitely nice to have someone just a phone call away. Phone lines with unlimited long distance are included in every apt. As is an emergency call system that has emergency pulls in the main living area, living room and in each bathroom. I can attest that they do indeed immediately come to investigate if they get pulled. :) The people that live here are a nice mix of New Mexico. The people that work here are kind and thoughtful - treating the residents like dear family members, remembering what they each enjoy, spending time with them as time permits, a wealth of patience and smiles. Supportive services are part of the deal here, like scheduled transportation to shopping and medical care, beauty parlours. Also regularly scheduled outings such as the Albuq BioPark yesterday, with a lovely lunch next to the big aquarium. They are always asking for input from the residents so they will schedule things that they might enjoy. There is usually something for everyone. The fellow that runs the kitchen staff and dining room is a true master. John taught Hotel and Hospitality Management for many years at Columbia in NYC. He hires good people from across the world. Born in South Africa, Portuguese, educated in Switzerland, he had restaurants in Brazil. Multi-lingual and caring, he understands all sorts of people, many cultures. And he really values the elders of our society, I see him often times getting down on his knees to be able to hold the hands of a little old lady, so he can look into her eyes and ask her about what she enjoys eating. Asking for recipes and suggestions, he is a wonderful part of this facility. Yes the rent does include 3 meals each day with many choices. Two specials for each lunch and dinner, though you do not have to eat the specials, they always have plenty of alternatives to choose from. Freshly made soups, 2 each day, there is always a chicken noodle and then some other one, that changes daily. Today was a hearty ham and bean soup. Made with baby lima beans and nice chunks of ham. She enjoyed it, as did I. Good stuff. Living here has many options, levels of care. From Independent Living apartments, to an Assisted Living wing, there are choices. There is an ala carte sort of way of getting extra help, if you need it. Thus far my mom is not needing anything extra. Her independent apartment is bright and spacious. With a full kitchen, full size refrigerator and stove, which I use all the time, cooking her favorites. Big bedrooms, each with full bathroom My brothers and I often would worry about my mom, but we really do know she is doing well as can be expected at this time. As my dad and Bette Davis once lamented, "Growing old is not for sissies." She has plenty of privacy here, but when she wants company, all she has to do is go downstairs. Her oldest friend recently moved in, they have known each other for over 61 years! One of the perks here, a price break, $1000. when you refer someone and they move in. Win!

Then we noticed that when we would show up it looked like he hadn't showered in days. So we paid extra to have a shower assist. Now they took meals in 3 times a day, gave meds once a day, but nobody noticed that he wasn't eating the meals that they brought, or that he was wearing the same clothing for 3 to 4 days in a row. Never noticed that he had sat so long in his chair that his feet were purple red from blood pooling. Of course, we didn't pay extra for them to make an observation. Now that we have decided to remove him and put him in a better environment, they want a Sixty Day notice! For What?
