Exploring the great outdoors together!
Our hiking group recently set out on a scenic adventure in Armijo Canyon, tucked away in the beautiful Sandia Mountains. The crisp mountain air, golden sunlight, and winding trails made for the perfect day of discovery and connection.
For the past six months, monthly hikes like this have become a wonderful tradition - bringing friends together, encouraging movement, and celebrating the natural beauty all around Albuquerque. Here’s to many more miles shared in great company!

🌟 Meet Denise, our Dining Room Manager! She’s been with our team for seven years, helping make mealtimes not only delicious but also a meaningful part of each day. 🍽️

What Denise enjoys most about her role? The challenges! She loves problem-solving, training her team, and creating dining experiences that bring comfort, joy, and connection.

Her advice for anyone considering a role here: "This can be more than just a job—it can be a career. There are so many opportunities to grow and make a real difference."

We’re lucky to have Denise’s leadership and passion for people on our team!

Celebrating Community with Flamenco Flair!
What a joyful afternoon honoring the many friends in our community who give their time and talents to make La Vida Llena such a lively and welcoming place. From supporting special events and leading committees, to tending the rose garden and guiding newcomers through our arts and activity spaces—volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
This year’s Volunteer Luncheon brought Spanish flair to Carter Hall with vibrant performances by the National Institute of Flamenco, a menu inspired by the streets of Spain, and a sweet sendoff of fresh handmade empanadas. With more than 120 in attendance, the room was full of gratitude, laughter, and celebration.
We are deeply thankful for all who share their energy and spirit, keeping our community rich, connected, and full of life.

Our community gathered for another installment of the monthly Special Speakers Series, thoughtfully planned by Kay Grant. This time, we welcomed Larryl Lynch and Gena Goodson from Albuquerque The Magazine for a lively talk on “Positive News is Always Good News.”
With nearly 100 friends filling Carter Hall, the evening was full of laughter, insight, and great conversation. Guests even enjoyed flipping through copies of the magazine after the presentation!
We’re so grateful for these meaningful opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate the spirit of community together.
