North Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center

North Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center is an appealing assisted living community in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is within wonderful Bernalillo County which is part of the Land of Enchantment.

At North Ridge, located in the beautiful North East Heights near the base of the Sandia Mountains, you and your family will experience hospitality and customer service on a whole new level. We devote ourselves exclusively to the care of those living with Alzheimer’s disease and all types of dementia.

At JEA Senior Living Communities we acknowledge that every individual requires different levels of care at varying points of their lives. We are dedicated to providing specialized care specifically tailored to each resident’s unique needs throughout the aging experience. Our levels of care include independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, as well as our primary focus, Alzheimer’s specialty care centers.

Our Meaningful Moments® program is what sets North Ridge apart from other assisted living communities. Meaningful Moments is designed for those living with memory loss and is unique to JEA Senior Living. It is built on learning all we can about our residents in order to create a homelike environment in which they feel comfortable and cared for. Our compassionate staff take the time to discover your loved one’s interests, desires and life story to develop a personalized care plan designed to ensure they continue to live a life of purpose and joy. In addition to phenomenal programming, we provide 24-hour nursing 7 days a week.

Our holistic approach to care includes developing partnerships with family members and other health care providers to ensure we meet their physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. We create an environment that resident and family members alike are happy to call home.

People living with memory loss face greater challenges than most of us. Being unable to remember life’s most cherished moments is a difficult path, but not a hopeless one. JEA Senior Living recognizes that these individuals haven’t lost the capacity to experience joy and are able to continue leading meaningful lives.

That’s the basis for our Meaningful Moments program. This unique approach to caring for those with dementia goes beyond merely making these individuals safe and comfortable. It’s a family-centered concept that starts by learning everything there is to know about our residents – their passions, achievements, careers, family, hobbies and interests. This allows our staff to create moments of real meaning that engage our residents emotionally, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.

It also helps bond caregivers to the resident, so they are able to see more than their current condition and recognize them for the singular and exceptional person they are. By creating this profound connection, Meaningful Moments establishes a strong foundation of trust and well-being from which residents are able to create new memories and thrive in an environment of exceptional care.

The staff at North Ridge incorporates each resident’s life story into their personalized daily care plan. Utilizing our distinctive Meaningful Moments approach, our team provides a warm and meaningful assisted living environment that includes family and friends. We welcome and encourage you to join us in the many activities we offer at North Ridge Alzheimer’s Special Care Center.

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is a demanding role. For caregivers who need some time to run errands, take care of their own health needs, or just need a break to rejuvenate, North Ridge provides the same compassionate care to our temporary residents as those who call us their home. Arranged into private, shared and semiprivate accommodations, our assisted living environment and caring staff provide meaningful moments to each resident. If you loved one needs a temporary home while recovering from an injury or hospitalization, we assist families through the recovery process and allow for caregiver relief. We are committed to honoring the experience of aging by ensuring that each resident’s life story is incorporated into their individual respite care design.
