Highly recommend

They are very attentive from the first meeting through finalizing the move. They were very open and willing to show us around and explain all the amenities and activities available.

Safe and Affordable

It is decent and I think they are fixing it up, but there have been problems. The washers and dryers often don't work, and they have run out of food on a couple occasions during meal time. The staff are staff are conscientious and caring, which is very important.

Beautiful facility and apartments. Staff are very friendly; especially, [name removed] who showed me around. Grounds are well cared for and easy to get around. I really like the ability to stay in same apartment even as one might need more advanced care services. Part-time nurse available on site. Remodel up shared space will be complete next month ([date removed]). Some apartments have wrap around patios w tremendous views of Sandia Mountains.

Great Choice, great community

Bear Canyon has been a great place for my Dad! It's like living on a cruise ship, 3 great meals a day, activities, if you want, and very clean.
