Casa Angelina East

Casa Angelina East sits near Edgewood and is about 4.9 miles outside Albuquerque, New Mexico, with all of its eight beds licensed for assisted living, and it gives seniors a small, community feel with plenty of personal attention, and when folks move in, they can pick from small studios or single bedroom units, each with a private ADA bathroom and a functional design that makes things easy and comfortable, and the rooms can fit cats or dogs if that's what you want, because this place is pet-friendly and even has designated smoking areas. The staff handles all the chores, so residents get to spend their time doing more enjoyable things, and there are special daily outings to the town, the shops, or for fun activities, so staying active is pretty simple, and there are always easy meals like a continental breakfast, plus special diets and snacks if needed, with an on-site dietitian managing dementia-friendly menus and extra wellness programs, along with help at mealtimes for those who need it. Health services go beyond just the basics here, with monthly wellness checks, medication management, on-site registered nurse and RN assessments, pharmacy services, and plans tailored for people dealing with chronic conditions, and you'll see speech therapy, help with moving around, assistance for taking a bath, incontinence care, and mealtime support, as well as memory care services for Alzheimer's and dementia, plus special programs for Parkinson's disease. Casa Angelina East takes fall prevention classes seriously and offers classes in arts and crafts, frequent parties, and both communal and independent living spaces, and if you want some quiet, there's a reading area or a chapel service, and sometimes a movie in the theater room or activities involving the big screen TVs. The staff is on-call 24/7 for emergencies, and there are custom support and wellness plans, so if respite care's needed for a short time, the team's ready, and with a low patient-to-staff ratio, everyone gets personal attention. There's a focus on security and comfort, with secured apartments, large balconies, landscaped walking trails, parking for visitors, and full home maintenance covered, along with a concierge who can help with appointments or requests, and even optional massage therapy. Casa Angelina East is community-owned, works hard to keep residents well, and provides care options for many needs-like Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, continence management, skilled nursing, independent living, home care, long-term nursing care, and physical therapy. Moving help is available, all utilities are paid, the grounds and apartments are secure, and there's transport for groceries and shopping trips. The staff uses unique names for certain services and spaces to distinguish the facility, and you can find dedicated areas for comfort and relaxation, including a community kitchen, making it a place where people are supported by both the caring staff and the friendly community around them.
