Nursing Home, Palliative Care & Skilled Nursing · Roswell, NM

Overview of Sunset Villa Care Center

Operated by Sunset Vista Inc, Sunset Villa Care Center is a nursing home in Roswell, New Mexico. It provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and palliative care. The community is managed by administrator Elizabeth Sircy. It supports both short-term rehabilitation after surgery, illness, or injury and longer-term nursing care for residents who need ongoing support.

The 30-bed home has an occupancy rate of 70%, making it a smaller nursing community. Nursing staff is available around the clock. Residents stay in private rooms equipped with televisions and telephones. On average, residents receive about 33 minutes of registered nurse care, 40 minutes of licensed practical or licensed vocational nurse care, and 2 hours and 26 minutes of nurse aide care each day, giving families a clearer picture of how daily nursing support is provided.

Doctor-directed rehabilitation programs help residents regain as much independence as possible, whether they are recovering after a hospital stay or receiving long-term care. Inspections by the New Mexico Department of Health have mainly reviewed staff responsiveness to residents’ daily care and safety needs, along with how quickly and accurately incidents are reported to state regulators. Families visiting the community should ask how these practices are managed daily.

The property has a Walk Score of 36, making it a somewhat walkable area. Here, most errands and outings still require a short drive. The surrounding neighborhood offers a quieter residential setting instead of a busy commercial district, which may appeal to residents and visiting family members.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to New Mexico state averages

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 33m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 40m per day ▼ 7% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 26m per day ▲ 9% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 3h 34m per day ▲ 14% State avg: 3h 7m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 8m per day ▲ 60% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 33m per day ▲ 18% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day
