When a fall 3 years ago forced her to move to assisted living, I knew we had to find her a "cruise ship in the desert", and we did!! Mom had lived in Albuquerque for more than 70 years and did not want to leave the city, My sister and I live in UT and CA and we knew the Amaran staff was dependable and never had a worry about mom being there by herself. She had lots of friends, enjoyed activities and going on outings and had a delightful apt. with a beautiful view of the Sandia Mountains. In her last days, the nursing staff was attentive, kind, loving and treated her with dignity. They took geniune care of mom and we saw that first hand as my sister and I were there for over a month with mom and watching. I have told my husband if I ever need assisted care, I want to go to Amaran in Albuquerque. I truly felt I was part of the family and loved everything there...including the beautiful facility!

Not off to the best start. I was told by the leasing agent that mom would have some storage in…read moreplaces other than their rooms. She said it keeps the rooms from getting cluttered and promotes safety. The apartments do not have much storage although the place we got for mom has extra floor space. I was helping mom unpack and put all of her clothes away and when Iasked the front desk lady about it she was very condescending as I was interrupting her chatting with the same resident she was chatting with an hour earlier. The facility manager quickly came up behind me asking if he could help with anything. He was professional and explained that that extra storage is in the med room and probably not the most secure option as they get donations for other people and the briefs and wipes at a free for all. I can get mom free standing floor cabinets for her things but started to wonder how much of that first showing was sales pitch. I thought the front desk lady should get another opportunity to be positive. My wife's salon gets fashion magazines that pile up and when I asked her if they would be interested in them I received the same condescending attitude again. I am a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair to ambulate and I am quite aware when I'm being dismissed. The leasing agent also pointed out the non existent smoke detector, non functional refrigerator, and a blank plate cover in need of repair. At that point I did not feel like I could approach the front desk lady anymore as she was still chatting with the same resident and gave me the same condescending attitude twice already. Not looking too good when the main contact point person pushes folks away with a terrible attitude towards communication. I waited till I got home to call the number of mom's activity coordinator. She was not in but thankfully I spoke with Destiny who quickly answered my concerns and came up with a plan to get it addressed. Front desk lady is obviously not interested in helping me at all as she could've easily directed me to the person on the phone. The entire time I was there no one came by to check on mom in her room. This was over a few hours on a Friday. That does not jive with what my wife and I were told in the initial visit. I'll change this post as mom stays there longer. I hope things get better from here. If not there are other places at this price point and care level. Destiny was able to get the fridge going and was respectful when she spoke with me. I will not be paying any attention to the ableist working at the front desk bringing questions and concerns to the more professional staff.

The food was of school cafeteria-quality, even the chocolate cake drenched in Hershey's syrup. The amiable resident table-mates spontaneously volunteered that the food "wasn't very good". What I liked, was that the apartments had a full kitchen, so you were not dependent on the dining room. The flexibility appealed to me. The people I met were pleasant and seemed to be retired professionals. The cost was fairly similar to other, comparable places, but on the high-ish side. There were no balconies or outdoor space in the apartments I was shown, and I don't know about outdoor common areas.
