The Rehabilitation Center of Albuquerque

The Rehabilitation Center of Albuquerque stands on Forest Hills Dr NE, at 5900 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and provides a range of specialized rehabilitation and recovery services, with a strong focus on physical, occupational, and speech therapy for folks needing help after injuries, strokes, joint replacements, or surgeries, so you'll see therapy rooms with advanced equipment and healthcare professionals-including doctors, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and physical therapists-all working together to create care plans that match what each person needs, and you'll find both inpatient and outpatient options depending on how much support someone needs at the time. The skilled nursing facility runs with 120 beds, offering post-hospital, short-term rehabilitation, long-term, and respite care, plus there's a specialized transitional care unit, care for Alzheimer's, ventilator support, pain management, and wound care, and services for seniors needing 24-hour help, with all medical staff onsite for emergencies or checkups, and you'll find things like medication management, case management, and discharge planning too. Genesis Healthcare operates the center, working closely with hospitals and doctors in Albuquerque, and the staff makes sure folks get resources and guidance when big healthcare choices come up, which can help when things feel overwhelming. The center offers plenty of amenities-private and semi-private rooms, climate control, cable TV, dining rooms (and in-room dining if you need it), beauty salons, courtyards, gardens, sunrooms, activity rooms, computer and internet access, kitchenettes in some spaces, laundry and housekeeping, and a gift shop-and you'll notice pets are welcome for visits, there's interpreter services, pet therapy, regular community dining, spiritual and social activities, clubs, and even chapel services for those wanting them. The facility is wheelchair accessible, has on-site parking, takes credit cards, is closed Sundays but open six days a week, and helps folks with Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurances, and even veterans' benefits since it's VA contracted. Security and safety is a priority, with a 24-hour emergency alert and response system, alarm systems for people with memory troubles, and coordinated transportation available, so even if someone's needs change, there's help nearby, and every resident gets a personalized health check and hygiene support. Dining spaces, beautiful gardens or courtyards with scenic views, comfortable common rooms, a beauty salon and barber shop, plus event programming-everything's geared to make staying there as comfortable and engaging as possible, and folks can join in scheduled events, cultural or educational programs, and recreational activities. The staff offers everything from psychiatric and podiatry services to rehabilitation, respiratory therapy, home health, hospice, Medicaid HCBS, palliative care, vision care, pain management, wound care, and more, with special care programs and therapy techniques that go by their own names, and all treatments tailored around what each person needs for the best possible recovery and quality of life.
