Assisted Living in New Mexico

Overview of Assisted Living in New Mexico

New Mexico has been called many names, including “The Cactus State” and “The Sunshine State,” but perhaps none are more fitting than “Tierra del Encanto,” or “The Land of Enchantment”. The state received this nickname for its natural beauty, which includes vast, painted deserts and tall, majestic mountains. From Santa Fe’s distinct architecture inspired by the region’s native Pueblo peoples, to the more modern landscape of Albuquerque, New Mexico’s cities have an undeniable charm as well. The Land of Enchantment truly has something to offer everyone and is an ideal place to retire.

Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 50 senior living communities in New Mexico that provide assisted living. The median monthly rate for New Mexico assisted living costs about $4,000.
