Located in Carlsbad, New Mexico, Lakeview Christian Home of the Southwest, INC. is a small nursing home owned by Joanna Knox. The home on West Pierce Street is in a very walkable neighborhood. Most errands can be accomplished on foot, which can be convenient for residents and visiting families. The 35-bed skilled nursing facility is currently operating at full occupancy. It serves post-acute rehabilitation and long-term care residents, with an average stay of 36 days.
The home accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, providing families multiple options to cover short-term rehabilitation or ongoing nursing care. Nurse staffing averages approximately 4 hours and 7 minutes per resident each day. Nurse aides provide an additional 3 hours and 11 minutes of direct support. Much of the facility’s daily care is provided through this nursing support.
The facility’s clinical services focus on rehabilitation, with on-site therapy alongside home health and hospice programs that extend care into the surrounding community. The home is within a faith-based environment and incorporates those values into daily life and resident care.
State inspections have identified concerns in medication management, care planning, infection control, and safety practices. Families evaluating the home should take a tour and ask how these areas are managed daily, what safeguards are in place for medication storage, and how resident health information is protected.
Lakeview Christian Home of the Southwest, Inc. is administrated by Joanna D. Knox.
In New Mexico, the Department of Health, Division of Health Improvement is the primary regulatory authority that conducts unannounced inspections and investigates quality of care complaints.
