Living The Full Life.

No one does life like us

We try not to brag, but it’s a fact that we’re the only Life Plan Community in Albuquerque. That means you’ll get the best of both worlds: an Independent Living community that puts you in close proximity to amazing people and fulfilling activities plus the peace of mind provided by on-campus access to any care you need. 

Plus, we’ve been recognized as one of the leading progressive senior living communities within New Mexico, if that helps sweeten the deal. And as a non-profit organization, we fully stand behind our values by keeping our earnings within the organization, with no responsibility to shareholders.

Learn About Our History

A visit is worth a lot of words.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a visit contains a library of knowledge about what life is like at La Vida Llena. It’s one thing to see campus in a photo. But that doesn’t compare to feeling the sun on your skin as you stroll through the sculpture garden, or experiencing laughter and lively conversation in one of our dining rooms. We think you’d fit right in—come see for yourself.
