We visited our brother and sister–in-law at Sandia Vista Senior Living. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of the apartments. We enjoyed the gardens and fountain outside. The roses, snapdragons and other plants were beautiful. The tomato plants are growing very well and should produce delicious tomatoes in about a month. The residents we met were all very friendly. Thanks for our visit. Tom and Glenda Davis

I come and visit Becky Beaudine every Sunday for lunch and painting and then grocery shopping. I have been very impressed with the staff and the facility and all the options that residents get very impressive. Thank you.

My mother-in-law was cared for at Sandia Vista for 8 years before she passed. Treatment was excellent. A personal relationship between staff, my mother-in-law, and our family developed as we shared the days together. Food was excellent, as was the service provided.

More recently, we have helped a family member become a resident at Sandia Vista who has early stages of Alzheimer’s. We were encouraged to discover that much of the original staff we knew from my mother-in-laws stay were still working at Sandia Vista. Once again, care has been excellent, food is better than ever, and the personal attention given to care for our family member is more than we could have expected. The staff, and the care teams that assist the staff are top notch. We recommend Sandia Vista highly.

My grandma moved from Albuquerque to Hawaii for 50 years then back to Abq to spend her last year and half in Las Colinas. In my weekly visits I noticed that she was genuinely happy there, enjoyed the programming and that they were just nice people that worked there watching out for the elder folks. They were also very professional in making sure the end was comfortable for the family as she had passed peacefully and staff informed us immediately. She always had her independence there, but some kind soul had a feeling and checked on her that particular morning. Its a community atmosphere completely there, easy to find friends + conversations and people looking out for one another.

What a pleasant surprise stepping into Sandia Vista Senior Living entry to see my name on a white board and meeting a resident waiting my arrival. She was well matched with similar yet quite different life experiences, hobbies and interests, even her pets! People in the main area were chatting away, preparing for some activity, yet took the time to look up and acknowledge my presence. In the hallways, others stopped and introduced themselves. I could tell they were genuinely pleased with their decision to move into Sandia Vista. I did arrive in the midst of renovations that included new flooring, painting walls, etc. that is updating the common areas. The apartments seem to be larger than other living places I visited. The size of kitchen, balconies, and closets provide a sense of spaciousness larger than ordinary. This is a lovely campus with delightful residents, attentive staff, and well, almost like home.
