Need help? (888) 595-9101

New Mexico has the unfortunate location of being neighbors to the highly popular destination for seniors of Arizona, along with nearby California. However, New Mexico retirement homes are actually outstanding, and what is even better is they cost a fraction of what skilled nursing would cost in California and Arizona.

New Mexico nursing homes are not only of high quality but they are also not in high demand. It means that you will face far less competition and fierce prices because not as many people are flocking to find elderly care facilities in New Mexico. So, what’s stopping you from making New Mexico retirement homes your next place of residence?

The average median for nursing homes in New Mexico is below the national average. The average cost for a private room in New Mexico is $214 per day and $193 per day for a semi-private room. Both these figures are $25+ lower than the daily national average.

The average daily rates are far cheaper compared to California ($249 per day for semi-private, $330 per day for private room) and approximately the same as Arizona ($193 per day for semi-private room).

Albuquerque has the highest rates of any city in New Mexico for nursing homes. Skilled nursing facilities in New Mexico here jump up to $210 per day for semi-private and $250 per day for private rooms. This is partly due to Albuquerque being the largest city in the state as well as the most sought after by seniors.

Meanwhile, the rest of the state features far lower daily rates ($184 per day semi-private, $200 per day private). The cities of Las Cruces (population 97,000), Rio Rancho (population 87,500), Santa Fe (population 67,000) and Roswell (population 48,000) are your next best bets for quality nursing homes in New Mexico’s larger communities.
