Overview of The Woodmark at Uptown

The Woodmark at Uptown provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Albuquerque, NM. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps their own living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care provides a short stay for a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover.

The combination of assisted living and memory care may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. The community has 144 beds and offers residences with one bedroom or two bedrooms, with the larger layout potentially suiting a couple moving together. The starting price is $5,085 per month, giving families a baseline for monthly budgeting.

A Walk Score of 77 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach nearby shops, pharmacies, or cafes independently. Restaurant style dining and chef prepared meals are available, along with a private dining room for family events.

Residents can attend fitness classes and creative workshops, use the on site theater and salon, and access patio areas on the elevated grounds. Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet. Ramon Melendez serves as the administrator.
