The Village at Northrise

The Village at Northrise - Desert Willow II sits on a 16-acre campus in Las Cruces, NM, right near a hospital, pharmacy, and café, with majestic views of the Organ Mountains, and serves seniors needing independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all in one place, so folks don't have to move around as their needs change, and you'll find both short and long-term care with daily activities like movie nights, painting classes, and even tournaments. The two-story building holds 24 licensed assisted living beds, and there are different apartments, like studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, each set up for ease and safety, and the staff-who include CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, and RNs-offer help with bathing, dressing, and medicines as needed, with a 24-hour call system and 12-16 hours of nursing care a day, which helps folks feel secure. The community has meals cooked by chefs, and the dining room gives a choice of breakfast, lunch, and dinner with balanced, good-tasting food, and folks can enjoy common areas for socializing, a fitness room, beauty salon, spa, walking paths, a garden, and scheduled rides around town, which helps keep up spirits and daily routines. There's a big focus on memory support and Alzheimer's care, with a range of resources for those who need more hands-on assistance, and families have access to help making care decisions, plus the campus offers services from Genesis HealthCare for rehab, therapy, and additional support. With state licensing and oversight by agencies like the Department of Aging, care here is regulated and costs are usually lower than a nursing home, though the facility doesn't accept Medicare. Long-term care, maintenance-free living, and a friendly, helpful staff all aim to let residents make the most of their retirement years, and many reviews mention the staff being warm and knowledgeable, with lots of chances to join in social events and wellness programs. Tours are available to see the rooms, meals, and activities, and the community atmosphere is one where people can enjoy a calm, supportive environment, whether they're living fully independent or need some daily help.
