Serving older adults less than a mile from central Rio Rancho, Retreat Gardens offers assisted living and memory care. The New Mexico community is operated by The Retreat Healthcare, LLC. Melissa Spiers serves as the administrator. The 45-bed community is about 87% occupied, with 39 beds currently filled.
Care is available day and night for residents who need steady support. On-site physician and psychiatrist services are also available throughout the day. The memory care program is supported by caregivers trained in early cognitive impairment and early dementia. This helps residents receive more focused care without moving to another community.
Families can choose between private and semi-private suites based on needs, comfort, and budget. Dining includes several meal choices for residents each day. Those who enjoy fresh air may also eat on the patio.
The area around Retreat Gardens has a Walk Score of 72, making it very walkable. Many nearby errands can be handled on foot instead of by car. This may help residents and visiting families access local needs more easily.
State inspection reports have focused on administrative and safety practices. These included medication storage, service plan records, food temperature checks, and fire drill scheduling. A later review confirmed those areas were brought into compliance. Infection control practices were also reviewed and found in order.
Families considering Retreat Gardens should ask about current room availability. The community is already near full capacity.
