Good Samaritan Society - Manzano del Sol Village

If this place is anything like the bedside manner of the admissions dude Vince , I already know this is not the place I am looking for .

My wife and I had been trying to get her parents to move here from out of state for some time. Last summer I researched a number of CCRC and found Manzano del Sol (MdS) to be VERY attractive, not only from the facility and services provided, but the flexibility and customizable fee structure. We put their name on the waiting list for an apartment in the independent living section and they came to the top of the list in just 3 months! The moved here from out of state in January and moved into MdS late that month. Health issues (unrelated to MdS) forced us to move them in with us in mid-February. Shortly after that we availed ourselves of the rehab facility for a brief post-hospitalization recovery period. Shortly before release from re-hab, the whole COVID-19 lockdown hit. We moved the family member back with us until early July. By then the whole family was convinced they were once again strong enough and MdS practices were safe enough to protect from COVID-19 intrusion. So they once again took up residence at MdS in early July.During this whole process the MdS staff and all the residents have been very helpful, cheerful, and accommodating. This seems to be a very resident focused facility, at very reasonable rates. My in-laws are very appreciative of the very flexible meal program that can be tailored on a daily and individual meal basis. Mom is beginning to cook meals again but appreciates time (or meals) off periodically.The companion organization Heritage Home Health Care is also a great and affordable organization as well.All in all, I think choosing MdS was an excellent choice for us.

I have a niece who is a hospice nurse. When we were looking for a nursing home for my uncle she said Manzano was the best in Albuquerque. He became a resident in 2009 and I became a volunteer there shortly there after. He passed away in 2011, and Im still doing my volunteer work there because I thoroughly enjoy the residents and staff. At one point I asked my uncle how he like Manzano and he replied, Its great! You should get a room.I too highly recommend Manzano Del Sol.

The staff, residents, family and friends are collectively fantastic people to collaborate with. To be apart of so many lives is endearing and enriching as it is rewarding. It is a shear pleasure to be apart of this community.As a representative of the Recreational Department, we actively engage the residents with ADL venues (i.e. live music, games, outings, iPad one-on-ones, movie matinees etc.) and promote peer and familial engagement participation through arts, crafts, cooking, holiday venues and more. I would be remised if I did not invite you to the Good Samaritan Society Community too volunteer and celebrate with the Recreational Department, so you can engage our wonderful residents and staff. I cordially invite you to fulfill our volunteer package and participate in many life rewarding experiences and engagements that are deeply appreciated by the residents and staff. I recommend this volunteerism to yield humanitarianism (i.e. musicians, artists, students, culinary artists, entertainers etc.) are welcomed and encouraged to share their gifts with this senior population. I advocate sincerely for my love of the residents, families, friends, staff and the society as a whole. Everybody can be greatbecause anybody can serve. You dont have to have a college degree to serve. You dont have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love Martin Luther King.

I am pleased with the physical therapy rehab I have been given. I enjoy my room and the stay and overall A's in my book.
