Hummingbird Assisted Living
Hummingbird Assisted Living operates a 10-bed residential care home in the Los Pinons neighborhood of Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Locally operated in Sandoval County under administrator Christopher Abeyta, the single-story house provides an alternative to large, institutional senior campuses. The small scale of the building allows the staff to monitor a limited number of residents in a residential neighborhood layout.
The surrounding community is car-dependent, holding a walkability score of zero out of 100, which means staff, residents, and visitors require a vehicle for all outside errands. Daily services center on non-medical assisted living routines, including shared meals, laundry service, social activities, and personal care help.
Routine regulatory inspections by the New Mexico Department of Health have focused on administrative recordkeeping, such as admission paperwork and specialized staff training logs. State records indicate zero complaints have been substantiated or investigated against this location.
Prospective residents can call the home directly to inquire about current room vacancies and monthly rates.
