About the facility

Birch house is what is known as a micro-community type facility. Micro-community assisted living facilities are preferred by many people because they do not feel like an institution but more like a home. Many clients in larger nursing facilities feel as if they are in a prison and fantasize about escaping or being rescued. Patients in large nursing homes...

Haven Care Birch House
Haven Care Birch House Facilities are clean and well maintained. Patient care ratio is 5:1. Keep in mind the one care giver provides all care for the residents as well as meal preparation, cleaning, and laundry. We have noted that showers do not follow any schedule and are given on a as needed basis or when time is available. Although an activities schedule is available, we have not witnessed any activity sessions, we do visit at different times and days. Overall we feel are loved one is well cared for and is safe.

July 16, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Birch House. We appreciate your recognition of the cleanliness of the home, the safety of the environment, and the care being provided to your loved one. Our small residential setting allows caregivers to become familiar with each resident’s individual needs, preferences, and daily routines. Personal care, including bathing, is based on each resident’s care plan, condition, comfort, and needs; however, we understand the importance of consistency and clear communication with families. We also appreciate your comments regarding scheduled activities. Activities should be meaningful, appropriate to each resident’s abilities, and consistently offered. Your feedback gives us an opportunity to review both the activity schedule and how participation is being communicated to families. Most importantly, we are pleased to hear that you feel your loved one is safe and well cared for. Please feel welcome to speak directly with our management team about any concerns or suggestions so we can continue improving your family’s experience.

Haven Care Memory Care review
My mother is currently a resident at Haven Care Birch House. The staff is a mix, three of the providers are terrific and one is very non caring. The Activities are the only thing that I would rate lower than a 4. The residents do sit and watch TV a lot.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you've had positive experiences with several of our staff members, and we truly appreciate your recognition of their care and dedication. However, we’re sorry to learn that one provider hasn’t met your expectations, and we’ll be looking into this to ensure all staff maintain the high standard of care we expect. Your feedback about the activities is also valuable. We understand how important engaging activities are for our residents, and we’ll be reviewing this area to see how we can improve. While television can be a source of relaxation, we aim to offer a variety of stimulating activities to enrich their daily lives. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and for trusting us with your mother's care. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any concerns further—we’re here to help.

They were full. I would have liked to get my mom in here, though. The staff was all trained to work with all of the behavioral and physical and challenges of Alzheimer's. Also, there was no price change. It was $5100, but it will never increase no matter how much care you need.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New Mexico’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Mexico’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Haven Care Birch House Memory Care 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
