Overview of Westwind House

Westwind House offers assisted living and independent living in Albuquerque, NM. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere.

The home has 48 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents get to know each other. Occupancy is 90%, so most beds are occupied, and the community may fit someone who prefers living with fewer residents. Westwind House accepts Medicaid, including the State of New Mexico Turquoise Care Medicaid Waiver Program and Innovage/PACE Medicaid, and its restaurant-style dining room gives residents individual tables and a dedicated setting for meals. Maria R. Duarte serves as administrator, and Quilted Care operates the community.
