BeeHive Homes of Portales is a small senior living community in Portales with a family-style setting and space for about 12 to 16 residents in each home, so things feel less crowded and more like a quiet house than a big building, and you'll see inviting touches like a wide front porch with rocking chairs and seasonal decorations. Residents can pick private or shared rooms, and each room comes with its own bathroom-some have ADA showers-and you can choose to have it furnished or bring your own things. The bedrooms are sunny with windows, bedside tables, dressers, and comfortable beds, and the homes have big open dining and living areas, plenty of recliners, TVs, and good views through large windows. There's a kitchen with oak cabinets, stainless appliances, and lots of counter space, and meals are cooked daily using fresh, healthy ingredients, with special diets like gluten-free, no sugar, or low-sodium offered if you need them.
BeeHive Homes of Portales offers Assisted Living, Memory Care, General Housing, and short-term Respite Care. Residents get help with things like bathing, medication, incontinence, laundry, cleaning, and personal care. Staff is around at all hours and will monitor medication, handle emergencies, and help people with memory needs. Residents wear pendants to call for help, and care routines are checked at move-in and adjusted as needs change. There's no nurse on-site, but consulting nurses and home health services are available when extra care is needed. This place does feel homey, especially in the memory care area, which is secure with outdoor courtyards and patios that have coded entry, so people with Alzheimer's or dementia can feel safe.
People can bring their own pets, including dogs and cats, and family can visit. Residents get cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private phone jacks in their rooms to talk with loved ones. There are organized social outings, group and individual activities like fishing, quilting, and religious services, and there's always gentle encouragement to join in daily exercise and mental activities to stay active. Transportation is available if you need a ride for errands or doctor appointments, and people who drive can use the resident parking on-site. The building is one story, so it's easier to get around, and showers and tubs are wheelchair accessible. Security systems, emergency pendants, and good staff-to-resident ratios make for a safe atmosphere.
BeeHive Homes of Portales is known for its welcoming, home-like environment, compassionate caregivers, and steady focus on helping seniors stay as independent as they're able.
