Top 10 to visit a resident. The staff was great very personable and helpful. The resident was clean and well-groomed content.
I've lived here 7 years and I loved it over all
People are friendly and helpful..no typical nursing home smell when u enter...everybody wears masks
The staff at Betty Dare has been amazing! My Mom Maria is there for skilled nursing rehabilitation and they take very Great care of her. She get Occupational therapy and physical therapy every day, which the goal is to help her to get her strength back to come back home. I have nothing bad to say about the employees. My mom speaks highly of the Medical team that attend her every single day and tells me how wonderful they are to her.
Neglectful staff. This place is a joke.
Under staffed not good nurses an not good service an casa arena is worst
I like it OK. Just wish it was pretty colorful
It is more like a prison for the elderly not a rehabilitation home.
Originally did not receive the care my mom needed. She ran out of oxygen and had my RN son not been there she probably would have died but there are few options in Almagordo so she went back and we have no complaints about further care.
They been great with my dad they all so caring and helpful
Great place
