How do Albuquerque's quadrants differ for senior care?
The Northeast Heights holds the most assisted living, from converted ranch houses to large Uptown communities; the Southeast Heights is closest to UNM Hospital and the VA Medical Center; the West Side is growing fast but has fewer facilities and longer river crossings; and the North and South valleys mix older small homes with in-home care for families who want to stay put.
Addresses use quadrant suffixes (NE, NW, SE, SW) split at Central Avenue and the railroad tracks, which helps when comparing a list of facilities with where family lives.

| It tells you | It does not tell you | |
|---|---|---|
| City | the post office that delivers the mail | whether the facility is inside city limits (much of the South Valley is not) |
| Quadrant | which side of Central Avenue and the tracks | travel time across the river at rush hour |
| Records | where to find the facility in HCA's directory | a rating (New Mexico publishes none for assisted living) |
