    Friendly caregivers, poor upkeep, disappointing

    I found the community friendly and many caregivers genuinely caring; the house manager and overnight staff were good. Staff quality was uneven (one person lacked basic first-aid knowledge), activities were limited and I never saw the advertised massage/hairstylist. Meals were fine, but management felt unprofessional and upkeep was poor - trash outside, neighbor disputes and even city complaints. Overall it felt homely in parts, but value is average-to-below; I wouldn't recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment for Senior Care LLC is mixed and somewhat polarized: several reviews highlight warm, caring staff and a homelike atmosphere with good meals and a friendly community, while a distinct set of reviews raise serious concerns about management, cleanliness, and care consistency. The feedback clusters around a few recurring themes — staff performance, management and oversight, physical conditions, dining and activities, and perceived value — with both positive and negative reports in most categories.

    Care quality and staff: The dominant positive thread is that many reviewers find the staff caring and personable. Specific roles are noted positively: the house manager and overnight staff receive praise for their performance. However, staff quality is inconsistent across reports; some reviewers describe mixed or uneven performance among caregivers, and at least one reviewer explicitly notes a staff member lacking basic first-aid knowledge. A number of comments describe inadequate care, which suggests variability in training, supervision, or staffing levels. This split creates uncertainty about what any new resident might experience on a day-to-day basis.

    Management and oversight: Multiple reviews criticize management as unprofessional, and several complaints point to inadequate oversight. These management criticisms are linked in other reviews to issues with care and with the physical condition of the property. The presence of city complaints noted by reviewers raises the possibility of regulatory or municipal concerns, though the summaries do not provide details about the nature or outcomes of those complaints. Taken together, these reports indicate reputation and governance risks that prospective residents and families should investigate further.

    Facilities and environment: The facility is described by some as homely and comfortable, reinforcing the positive impressions of community and atmosphere. Contrastingly, other reviews mention poor living conditions, with specific reference to trash outside and neighbor disputes. That contrast suggests variation over time or between parts of the property, or again, differences in reviewer expectations and experiences. An operational or maintenance inconsistency appears to be an issue to probe: housekeeping schedules, grounds maintenance, pest control, and how management responds to neighbor conflicts and municipal notices.

    Dining and activities: Dining receives generally favorable remarks — food is described as "fine" in some comments and "great meals" by others, indicating that culinary services are a relative strength. Activity offerings are reported in mixed terms: some reviews say there is not much for activities, while others describe great activities and even enthusiastic recommendations. Additionally, services such as a massage therapist and hairstylist are reported as available, but at least one reviewer said they were not actually seen in practice. This inconsistency suggests that advertised services and scheduled offerings may vary in availability and should be confirmed directly.

    Value and room configuration: Several reviewers state that the facility's value is about average or lower compared with other options, implying the price-performance ratio may not be compelling for all families. A clear, objective item that may influence decision-making is the lack of private en-suite rooms, which could be a deal-breaker for those expecting single-room private bathrooms. Overall, value perceptions appear mixed and contingent on which features a prospective resident prioritizes.

    Net recommendation and action items: Reviews are polarized — some reviewers highly recommend the facility, praising staff, meals, and community; others explicitly advise against it, citing management failures, cleanliness problems, and inadequate care. For a thorough evaluation, prospective residents and families should visit multiple times, speak directly with the house manager and overnight staff, ask for recent inspection or city complaint records, request a sample activities calendar and meal menus, verify availability of onsite services (massage/hairstylist), inspect rooms and grounds for cleanliness, and inquire about staff training (including first-aid certification) and staffing ratios. Given the mixed reports, on-site verification and clear, written assurances from management are particularly important before committing.

    About Senior Care LLC

    Seniorcare LLC - Kriss House sits at 1813 Kriss Place Northeast in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and offers a large Board and Care Home with up to 45 residents, although only 10 beds are licensed for assisted living by local government with license number 4083. The facility keeps itself clean and well-maintained, and people tend to notice the spotless rooms and shared spaces right away, and the staff here are known for being involved, supportive, and professional, always working to provide discreet help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and incontinence care, so people keep their dignity and feel comfortable. There's always 24-hour nursing and personal care for seniors with health conditions, including those needing care for Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, in an environment built to limit confusion and keep wandering down, and it doesn't matter if a resident needs full assistance with moving around or just a little help with daily activities, because the staff are trained to manage transfers, diabetic care, incontinence, and ambulatory needs as well.

    Residents can have their dogs with them, and pets are close by to give comfort and companionship, which a lot of people find calms nerves and makes the place feel more like home, and the whole place is built to feel warm and family-friendly, without trying to look or feel too much like a hospital, with kindness, friendliness, and helpfulness coming out in the way the staff treat everyone. The community puts time into daily activities, so there are outings, movie nights, workout sessions, art and music plans, tabletop games, and outside trips, plus there are reading rooms and spots outside like garden areas and water fountains where people can spend quiet time or enjoy being with others if they like. They offer nutritious meals, and those meals use quality ingredients to fit people's health needs and preferences-like making special diets for those with diabetes or high blood pressure-and staff help with feeding, hygiene, and keeping track of medicines. Residents get free transportation to doctors, shopping, and spiritual services so families worry less about getting to appointments, and the place sits near cafes, parks, pharmacies, doctors, restaurants, and churches, so it's not cut off from the rest of the city.

    Private and semi-private rooms all have easy access showers, and the rooms have things like wireless internet, cable TV, fitness spaces, hot tubs, saunas, and courtyards, so people can choose what helps them relax or stay active, and those who want more pampering can use the barber or beauty shop. The staff give speech therapy, wellness check-ups, hospice care, and short-term respite care for those just staying for a little while, plus the community uses local Expert Advisors to talk with families about care options and guide them toward the right fit around Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The company has three retirement communities in Santa Fe and runs this Kriss House location as part of their network, focusing on a resident-first approach that means they make customized care plans for each person, and they help families understand both what's possible and what's best for their loved ones as needs change. They have a service rating of 4.6 stars from reviews, and families don't pay up front since the partner communities pay fees if someone decides to move in. Seniorcare LLC - Kriss House doesn't take Medicare unless it has special CMS certification, and it follows rules set by New Mexico's Department of Social Services with certification ID 2012, sticking to local standards so folks know care is held to current requirements and families get some peace of mind about loved ones' well-being, safety, and happiness.
