They initially refused to allow her to return wh n she was to be discharged from Rust Medical Center because they said they couldn't provide the types of therapists she would need. When they finally admitted her, they failed in every way possible to care for her. They failed to feed her. They failed the bath her. They failed to give her her medication appropriately. She was allowed to fall out of bed twice and took no precautions to protect her. I have this on video because of our concerns, we placed a camera in her room. I also reviewed all of her medical records. Everything is documented, however, our state agencies failed her as well and did not hold The Neighborhood accountable. AND, I had the families of at least two other residents reach out to me to report similar failure in treatment. I also spoke to a few nurse about the problems and they were ultimately fired. If you care for your loved one, DO NOT place them at The Neighborhood. (THIS WILL LIKELY BE REMOVED).

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.

It is very hard work and when we just couldn't do it anymore, we looked into Beehive homes. The closest one to us was on Chessman in Rio Rancho, NM. When it's full it has 15 occupants. The caregivers, especially Rachel and Kristen, are marvelous with my mother. She can be quite a handful but they handle every catastrophe with grace and ease. Darral, the chef, fixes wonderful meals. If my mother doesn't want to eat what they are serving, then he finds something else that she will eat. But overall the food is delicious and nutritious. The other care givers at this facility are wonderfully patient with the occupants and try to make them feel comfortable, considering the circumstances. It as close to a home setting as you can get.

Sadly those final months occurred during the Covid pandemic and as everyone knows that changed life in countless ways for just about everyone. Assisted living environments and homes for the aging were affected in the saddest of ways. Visits from loved ones occurred thru windows, hugs from family members and loved ones became virtual. It was during these difficult days that we watched the staff at Beehive Homes provide for our mom all of the things that because of the pandemic, we ourselves could not do. We watched a kind and compassionate staff assist our mom throughout the day to do things she, previous to her fall, had always done for herself. We saw a staff that delivered encouragement , and a staff that guarded and honored our moms dignity. Today while the loss of our mom has left my siblings and I with a sad and wounded heart, that same sad wounded heart is filled full , it overflows with gratitude for all of the love, the kindness and encouragement, the nurturing and compassionate care that our mom received from all of the staff at Beehive Homes. To the very SPECIAL STAFF that make THE BEEHIVE, A WONDERFUL HOME, for so many elderly folks, we are forever grateful.
