Casita Senior Living #2 Academy Home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood at 9846 Academy St NW Albuquerque, NM 87114, with pretty flower beds, a big landscaped backyard, and plenty of places to relax outside, like a covered table with seats, a bench swing, and outdoor gardens. The home feels open and filled with natural light, and the rooms are spacious and private, each with its own television and modern conveniences like Wi-Fi, phone, kitchenettes, and cable or satellite TV. It's a single-story building, so there's no need to worry about stairs, and there's easy access to large dining and living areas where residents can gather and feel at home. People can expect home-cooked meals every day, often served in two separate dining rooms, and staff prepares nutritious options for all meals.
Care here feels very personal, as the staff creates custom care plans for each resident, making sure daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, and other activities of daily living get handled thoughtfully and right on time. Around-the-clock support is always on hand, and safety features like coded doors and wearable wireless pagers give families peace of mind, knowing help is a button press away at any hour, and professional night staff are available to provide comfort, including guidance, massages, or a warm cup of tea. The facility uses a modern HIPAA-Compliant Electronic Medical Administration Records System for tracking vital signs, medication dispensing, and other health needs while staff work with outside healthcare providers so all care stays coordinated. Pet Therapy is offered for companionship and well-being, and massage and beautician services add comfort to the daily routine.
Residents have plenty to do each day, with scheduled exercise, games, and both community-sponsored and resident-run activities to keep people engaged and social. The staff encourages everyone to be as independent as possible while having help nearby, and the goal is always to support dignity and privacy. There are board and care, assisted living, and respite care options, allowing both those who want to stay long-term and those who need a short break to benefit from the home's unique features. Transportation is available for medical appointments and other needs. The home doesn't aim to look fancy but instead feels caring and family-like, with thoughtful touches such as beautiful artwork, well-tended grounds, and plenty of space both indoors and out for everyone to feel comfortable.
