Good Life Assisted Living and Memory Care El Paso

My mother and father have been living at The Good Life in El Paso for 5 months. They moved there from South Texas to be closer to my sister. We have been very impressed with the quality of care they have both received. My father has late stage dementia and has had numerous doctors caring for his needs. The staff has been kind and professional, making sure all of Dad's needs are met. My mother requires minimal care, and she is very pleased with the food at the facility. She likes being able to room with my dad. The last place they lived said Dad's dementia was too advance for them to co-habitat but the Good Life tries to keep couples together. Mom reported that the care they receive here is much higher quality (and less expensive) than the care they received in South Texas at the Gardens at Brook Ridge. I was very disappointed when I visited my parents there last summer and saw that my dad was not being bathed on a regular basis (he smelled) and they didn't address his dermatological needs at all. When I insisted they set up a dermatology appointment for him (he had lots of obvious skin cancer on his face and arms!), they didn't even bother to get him to the appointment on time and with his insurance card in hand. The Good Life is miles and away better than the last place my parents lived, and it's less expensive, as well.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Alina, the on-site manager at Good Life. From the moment my dad arrived, it was clear that this place is not only well run, but also truly feels like home—thanks in large part to her. The staff is incredibly kind and caring, and I believe much of that comes from the example Alina sets. On the day my dad was transferred from the hospital, we learned at the last minute that he had MRSA and would need a more isolated room. While most people might have been stressed by the sudden change, Alina was already in the new room, personally painting and preparing it for him. That moment spoke volumes about the kind of leader she is—hardworking, hands-on, and wholeheartedly dedicated to the residents. It is clear that Alina is the reason Good Life runs so smoothly. She treats everyone with kindness, compassion, and respect, and it shows in the atmosphere of the entire facility. I am so grateful for the care my dad has received here, and for the incredible effort Alina puts into making Good Life such a warm and welcoming place.

My wife’s aunt was there for about a year and a half. The whole staff was wonderful and sweet. Auslin was very sweet and kept my wife’s aunt very comfortable during the end of life process. I work in the medical field also and I think it is very important for those of us who do a good job to be recognized especially when they do such a great job. I appreciate her efforts and thank her with all my heart. She is a very special person.
