Overview of Brookdale Valencia

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest

Brookdale Valencia offers assisted living and independent living in Albuquerque, in the South San Pedro neighborhood, with 100 beds. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication, while independent living supports private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels may make the community a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

Housing options include studios, one bedroom residences and two bedroom residences. The two bedroom layout may suit a couple or someone who wants a companion, and the starting price of $2,770 per month gives families an initial figure for estimating housing costs. Respite care provides a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while the pet policy allows residents to bring a pet.

A Walk Score of 79 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Indoor and therapy pools, a fitness center, a salon, and courtyard and garden spaces provide places for exercise, personal grooming and outdoor time. Candace Guerrero serves as administrator, and Blc Albuquerque-Gc operates the community.
