In the fourth quarter of 2023, The Suites Rio Vista stood out as the largest nursing home in Sandoval County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 136 beds available, 27 more than the average in Sandoval County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 99.2 residents during that period.

The Suites Rio Vista had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 2.7 recorded for nursing homes in New Mexico.

During the quarter, Rio Rancho Center stood out as the second largest nursing home in Sandoval County, with 120 beds available. The Neighborhood in Rio Rancho came in third place, with 72 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, The Suites Rio Vista has already spent a total of $185,171 in four fines and suffered four penalties.

In total, there were two for-profit nursing homes in Sandoval County, New Mexico.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
