Cherish every moment of your best years at Bonney Family Home, an astounding community in Gallup, NM, that offers assisted living and memory care.

A maintenance-free lifestyle is also guaranteed with household services, including light housekeeping and meal preparation.

At 2884 North Roadrunner Parkway in Las Cruces, Northrise Wellness & Rehabilitation runs as a 31-bed nursing home that also covers assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing under one roof. Michael Slaughter administers the community.
The clinical picture is fairly detailed here. Residents get 1 hour and 19 minutes of registered nurse time per day, 1 hour and 50 minutes of LPN care, and 3 hours and 3 minutes with a nurse aide, on top of a doctor on staff and around-the-clock staffing. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out the clinical side, so families weighing a short recovery stay against something longer-term have both options in the same building.
Day to day, residents have private or semi-private apartments, common areas and lounges for visiting, and a beauty salon and barber service on-site. Guest accommodations make overnight family visits easier, and pets are welcome, which matters for residents moving from a home where a dog or cat was part of daily life.
Between the nursing hours, the doctor on staff, and the mix of care types offered, Northrise reads as a facility built for residents who need consistent clinical attention rather than a lighter-touch residential setting.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in New Mexico
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in New Mexico?
Assisted living in New Mexico supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in New Mexico?
Assisted living in New Mexico is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does New Mexico Medicaid cover assisted living?
New Mexico Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including New Mexico) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 109 assisted living facilities in New Mexico. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in New Mexico?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in New Mexico, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in New Mexico?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
