The Leisure Care Difference

Today's older adults aren't wrapping up their life's journey, they're seeking a new one. And Leisure Care is here to inspire them to embrace joy and purpose in their lives. For nearly 50 years, we've been reimagining and reinventing senior living, making sure older adults have the most fulfilling, rewarding, and productive opportunities possible.

From our hospitality-based care to our signature programming, we take a beyond-the-body approach to well-being that goes beyond the basics because we know you're anything but. We're paying attention, providing new and innovative ways to help seniors rediscover, reinvigorate and occasionally even reinvent themselves.

Fairwinds - Rio Rancho Reviews

4.1 out of 5(20 Comments) *
My mother lived at Fairwinds for the past two years. Having to choose an assisted living community for the first time, they made it easy for us! We toured several in the Albuquerque/ Rio Rancho area, and this one was the nicest as far as decor, cleanliness, friendly staff, good quality meals and desserts. We loved the open plan lobby with the bistro counter, and all the activities and extras they offer their residents. The care staff did an amazing job caring for my mom and she never felt neglected or disrespected at all! We both found it easy to communicate with any of the care staff and office staff. Unfortunately, they do not accept Medicaid which is why we had to relocate her. Had it not been for that, my mother would have stayed there. We highly recommend Fairwinds at Rio Rancho! - Cheryl K., family member of resident
My mom is getting ready to move in at the end of July! We are all excited for her. The staff is wonderful and they have so many fun things to do! We love Fairwinds-Rio Rancho. ❤️🌹 - Rosa P.
