Overview of Farmington ALF LLC DBA Three Rivers Estates

Three Rivers Estates sits on West Broadway in Farmington, New Mexico, and it holds 132 beds under one roof, where both assisted living and memory care take place side by side. The area around it is easy to get around on foot, with a Walk Score of 71, which means most errands, like a trip to the store or a quick stop for coffee, don’t call for a car at all.

Nathalie Hoffenden runs the community, and it’s owned by Farmington AL Holdings LLC. Staff are on duty around the clock, so nursing help is never far away, whether it’s the middle of the afternoon or the middle of the night.

There’s a lot for residents to fill their days with here. A library offers a quiet place to read, while the theater gives people somewhere to gather and watch a show together. The beauty salon handles haircuts right on site, and the raised garden beds outside let residents dig in the dirt and grow something with their own hands. Wellness programs run on a regular basis, alongside other planned activities meant to keep people engaged rather than just filling time. Pets are welcome too, so residents don’t have to give up a dog or a cat just to move in somewhere new.

Having both levels of care in one building matters more than it might seem at first. If a resident’s needs grow over time, they can move into more support without leaving the building, packing up their things, or starting over somewhere unfamiliar. That kind of continuity can make a hard transition feel a little less disruptive for everyone involved.

Overview of Wheatfields Senior Living Community

Wheatfields Senior Living Community sits on N Prince St in Clovis, New Mexico. What sets it apart from a lot of nearby options is that it handles three levels of care under one roof, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. A family doesn’t have to uproot mom or dad and find a whole new place if their needs shift down the line. They just move to a different level of care in a building they already know.

There are 101 beds here, so it’s not a huge operation, but it’s not tiny either. Licensed nurses and CNAs work on-site, which means clinical support isn’t something you have to call in or schedule. It’s already woven into the day.

Walk Score puts the neighborhood at 63, moderately walkable. You can knock out a few errands on foot, and there’s a decent mix of stuff nearby. If you’re the kind of person who visits a parent and likes to get out and walk the block afterward, that’s a small but real perk.

Clovis Senior Living, LLC owns and runs the community, and Samantha Loudermill is the administrator on record. One detail worth knowing if a pet is part of the family: Wheatfields allows them.

What you get is a community built for the long haul: layered care options, a nursing presence that’s already there, and enough walkability to make daily life feel a little less boxed in.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does New Mexico Medicaid cover memory care?

New Mexico Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
