Taos Retirement Village sits in downtown Taos on six acres, where residents age 55 and up find independent living, assisted living, and memory care options, all in a lively, caring environment with a real sense of character and history, unlike many other places you might see, because the people here come from all walks of life-artists, educators, poets, musicians, authors, and business people-and you wind up with all kinds of interesting conversations and activities, whether it's movie nights, seminars, community events, or afternoons spent in the two-story Village Center or the Village Bistro, a spot filled with local art where folks gather for meals, music, and good company. The Village offers roomy one and two-bedroom apartments and three new 1600-square-foot casitas, each with full kitchens, fireplaces, and mountain views, plus furnished private rooms and shared spaces for those needing assisted living, always with a homelike touch and a 24-hour emergency response system tied right to the nursing staff on site. Residents can enjoy meals prepared by a professional chef, special dining programs with vegetarian and international dishes, plus meal plans that include up to three meals a day for assisted living, or seven meals weekly in independent living. Medication management, help with bathing or dressing, incontinence care, monitoring for wandering, and diabetic support are available, along with visiting physicians and skilled staff for high-acuity care, and you can get Private Duty Care too, if you want extra help while staying independent.
The property itself is well cared for, with gardens, trees, walking trails, mountain views every morning, and fencing plus entry gates for safety, and it's pet-friendly, so residents don't have to give up a beloved pet to live here. Inside, there's Wi-Fi, an art-focused library built by residents, fitness and wellness programs, scheduled transportation around Taos, and weekly movie nights or community games. People keep busy with local outings, skiing, trips to the theater or opera, visits to the farmers market, and more, since the Village sits just a short walk from Taos Plaza, cafes, parks, restaurants, and Holy Cross Hospital. Housekeeping comes twice a month, utilities are paid, and staff provide 24-hour supervision with monthly wellness checks and transportation to appointments. Residents get support to stay social, active, and engaged through the life enrichment program, which covers social, spiritual, educational, and emotional needs, while folks who want quiet time can read in the library or walk outdoors beneath the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The Village is not fancy but offers comfort, reliable care, good food, caring staff, and a sense of community where people can age gracefully with dignity and independence, with many different living options, flexible care, and opportunities to make new friends right in the heart of Taos. The community holds a state license, has a 4.5 out of 10 rating on Seniorly, and encourages folks to stop by during open hours to see daily life, meet staff, and decide if it's the right place for them.
