La Posada Assisted Living has helped the community since 1982 and stands out as a family-owned place that's run with a warm, friendly touch. The staff, including skilled nurses and caregivers, stay on-site and are available every day and night, so residents always have someone ready when they need help. The team tries to blend independence with careful support and makes sure people feel as at-home and secure as possible by placing emergency call bells in every room and by focusing on comfort, dignity, and reliable care for each resident. This facility offers a range of care, including assisted living, memory care, respite care, and non-ambulatory or incontinence support, and its services are separate from Mesilla Valley Hospice-people don't have to be signed up for hospice to live here, though hospice is available through the dedicated in-patient unit called La Posada for those who need end-of-life care.
La Posada is known as the only facility in New Mexico with a hospice in-patient unit, providing comfort and treatment for terminally ill patients, including pain management and family support with bereavement services. Their nurses and caregivers focus on comfort, compassion, and helping families through tough times, always with respect for personal choices and dignity. Residents get to choose from a selection of daily activities on-site and offsite, plus devotional activities for those who want them, all designed to encourage an independent lifestyle while offering needed support.
The place aims to bring comfort and convenience into everyday living by making sure meals are both nutritious and respectful of residents' cultural and religious needs, thanks to a culinary team that really pays attention. There are meals served daily, and menus reflect various tastes and dietary requirements. Residents enjoy a library room, indoor and outdoor patios-sometimes called serenity patios-for relaxing and social time, and a hair salon right on the premises. The building also provides common spaces for gathering and grounds where people can spend quiet or social moments as they choose. Transportation services are part of the package when residents need to go out for appointments or errands. Floorplans and specific room details are set up to fit residents' needs, with options to support both comfortable living and privacy.
The staff have a tradition of being helpful, joyful, and genuinely kind, and volunteers play a part in keeping the place welcoming. With a focus on comfort, dignity, and care, La Posada Assisted Living works to support both residents and families, offering different levels of care and activity in a safe, home-like setting.
