    Wonderful owners, pricey, inconsistent care

    I appreciated the wonderful, responsive owners, loving staff, very clean and spacious facility, tasty homemade meals, pleasant backyard/front porch for family visits, and good coordination with hospice and medical providers. However, it's very pricey, my mom's small room had a shared bathroom and limited visitor space, and I experienced poor communication, occasional neglect, and rude behavior from some staff/management. Overall I'm grateful for much of the care but would weigh the cost and those concerns before deciding.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is mixed but leans positive: several reviewers express strong satisfaction with Casa Angelina, praising the owners, many caregivers, the cleanliness of the facility, the quality of homemade meals, and good coordination with hospice and other medical providers. Multiple reviewers explicitly state they would highly recommend the community and thank the staff for their responsiveness and care. The facility's physical attributes—described as large, spacious, very clean, and with pleasant common areas and outdoor spaces (back yard and front porch)—are repeatedly noted as strengths that support family visits and a welcoming atmosphere.

    Care quality and staffing emerge as a central, divided theme. On the positive side, several summaries state that the staff are loving, caring, accommodating, anticipate residents' needs, and provide constant care; one reviewer emphasizes responsiveness “beyond expectations,” and another expresses gratitude for consistent attention. At the same time, there are notable negative reports describing caregiver neglect, poor communication, and at least one serious claim that a resident became underweight because meals were under-delivered. This contrast suggests variability in day-to-day caregiving experience—some families encounter excellent care while at least one family experienced insufficient care and communication problems.

    Management and staff behavior are likewise mixed. Owners are repeatedly described as wonderful and accommodating, which is a clear positive thread. However, at least one reviewer reports rude staff and specifically names a manager, Eric, as part of a negative customer-service experience. Other reviewers also mention poor communication or that promises were not followed through (“lip service”), indicating potential issues with complaint handling, staff training, or consistency of leadership. These mixed impressions point to a generally strong owner presence but possible gaps in middle-management or front-line staff consistency.

    Facilities and amenities are generally praised: cleanliness and neatness are frequently noted, the dining area and kitchen aromas receive positive mentions, and outdoor visiting spots are appreciated for family interaction. Still, some reviewers note practical downsides—several comments mention small rooms, shared bathrooms, and limited visitor space, which may affect comfort and privacy for certain residents. Cost is another recurring concern: at least one reviewer explicitly calls the community "very pricy," implying families should weigh value against these limitations.

    Dining and nutrition receive both praise and criticism. Many reviewers enjoy the homemade meals and the pleasant dining environment, but a serious complaint alleges that meals were inadequate for one resident, contributing to weight loss. That single but significant negative report contrasts with multiple favorable mentions and underscores the need for families to monitor individual nutrition and clarify meal service expectations, portioning, and any special dietary needs.

    In summary, Casa Angelina appears to deliver a generally positive experience for many families: caring owners, many compassionate staff members, a clean and spacious physical environment, comforting homemade meals, and good coordination with medical providers are strong points. However, reviews also reveal important caveats: variability in caregiver performance, at least one allegation of neglect and underfeeding, occasional poor communication, reports of rude staff/management behavior, smaller room/bathroom configurations for some residents, and relatively high cost. These patterns suggest that prospective residents and families should consider site visits, ask detailed questions about room types and bathroom arrangements, inquire about staffing consistency and nutrition monitoring, and evaluate how management handles complaints to determine whether Casa Angelina is a good fit for their specific needs.

    About Casa Angelina assisted living

    Casa Angelina assisted living sits at 9977 Buckeye St NW in Albuquerque, about 2.7 miles from Rio Rancho, and stands as a small residential care home with only eight beds, which means folks here tend to know each other and the staff pretty well, making it easier to settle in and feel welcome when coming from outside. The staff works in a friendly way and helps with daily activities, medication, meals, personal care, and things like managing incontinence, diabetes, and even memory care for those who need more support, and they're ready to pitch in with high acuity care and have both staffing and ancillary services to cover different needs as people's health changes. Respite care makes it possible for short stays too, sometimes just while a family member gets a break or needs some time to themselves. There are private and semi-private rooms, including studio layouts, so residents have choices depending on what they like or need, and the rooms are spacious enough to move around comfortably. Folks come together in cozy common areas, a nice backyard, and a front porch that's good for family visits or just sitting outside on warm days, and the community has landscaped gardens for a bit of fresh air and quiet. The meals are made by chefs and planned for good nutrition, because eating well gets harder over time but still makes a difference in day-to-day life, and the staff pays attention to what each person likes or needs when it comes to food. Activities fill the calendar, both for keeping the mind busy and encouraging people to move around and connect with each other, and there's a real focus on fostering dignity, joy, and meaningful connections through organized group outings and gatherings. People here get help when they need it, but they're also encouraged to stay independent and do what they can on their own, which some families appreciate, and there's a strong sense of kindness and support among residents and staff alike. Casa Angelina offers assisted living and board and care, so folks with different levels of support needs can be comfortable knowing there's help close by. Every effort aims to help people keep as much independence as possible while making sure safety and comfort are part of daily life.
