Brio continues to pleasantly surprise! Staff is attentive and responsive to the residents, and to any family requests as well. My friend says the food is good (except for what she dislikes) and I know they would give her something else if she asked. Very pleased!!

My mom lived here for almost 2 yrs before passing. Caring staff, interactive activities, good food, clean facility, and great attention to their residents. Residents are very happy and well cared for every day!

I'm a musician who has played 30+ retirement homes in Albuquerque. I began playing at Brio in 2017. I can tell that the residents and staff enjoy being @ Brio. Retirement home advertising espouses community and the "home-away-from-home" aspects of living at a facility. At Brio, there really is a community/home feel. There are nice extras at Brio that I don't see at other retirement homes (decorating for holidays, family events, and theme parties). Staff retention is a great indicator of the culture at retirement homes. Brio has had the same management since 2017. I see the same employees month-to-month, and year-to-year. Other retirement homes have high turnover of employees.
