Senior Living

If you are 50 years old or older and looking for a great place to gather with friends and receive information, visit the City’s Commission on Aging, also known as Artesia Senior Center.  The Center is a home away from home for many senior citizens looking for a place to meet peers, maintain an active lifestyle and receive services to make life easier.  Artesia Senior Center’s staff consider visiting seniors their extended family and are always willing to help.

For those who need long-term nursing home care, San Pedro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Artesia is available.

The facility maintains 65 beds and provides a range of care services, including occupational, physical and speech therapy, high skill nursing care, meals, activities, and all other day-to-day care required.  A range of nursing staff and caregivers are on site 24 hours a day. Hospice services are brought in as required.  Located just next door to the Artesia Mealsite, San Pedro staff take facility residents to the Mealsite regularly for opportunities to dine in a social environment and see friends from outside the facility.  Of course, friends and family are always welcome to the center as well.  San Pedro accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay residents.

Meals on Wheels

Many of Artesia’s senior citizens gather daily for lunch provided by Artesia Senior Mealsite.  Operated by the non-profit Southeast New Mexico Community Action Corporation, the Mealsite offers a lunch every weekday (Monday-Friday) for a $1.75 donation.  Those enjoying the program must be 60 years or older and are required to complete some paperwork to qualify.  Once qualified, senior citizens can visit any weekday for lunch and fellowship with other senior citizens.  Artesia Senior Mealsite also delivers homebound meals to more than 100 clients.  Again, clients must be at least 60 years of age and qualify as truly homebound. Artesia Meals-on-Wheels, Inc. is a private non-profit organization whose ability to serve its clients comes from more than 300 volunteers who give willingly of their time and donations.  These volunteers are the vital link in the organization’s services and add an immeasurable human contact value to the program, which maintains the vision that all clients should be treated with dignity and respect. The program serves those who do not require hospitalization while recovering from illness or surgery, but need assistance because of ongoing health problems and simply need a helping hand.  Thanks to contributions, the cost of meals has not increased in 39 years.  To meet a variety of needs, meals are prepared by Artesia General Hospital’s dietary kitchen with an emphasis on proper nutrition.
