Hummingbird Assisted Living

Overview of 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.

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.
