Nurse PractitionerThe Rehabilitation Center of Albuquerque, a Genesis facility, is committed to patient and staff safety by employing an Infection Control specialist who follows Federal and State guidelines regarding the clinical screening process for COVID-19. We are one of the first centers in the state to employ point of care testing, which yields fast, accurate results, eliminating possible exposure risks associated with traditional testing and long wait times.
Our dedicated staff are trained in the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment, and are proactive in sanitizing patient and staff areas daily. The disinfectant used has been approved by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), and proven effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
As we navigate these difficult times together, you can rest assured that your loved one will receive the best care possible while implementing evidence based practices into our everyday lives.

A wonderful experience
I whole heartedly enjoyed my stay here at your rehab center. Such a wonderful experience. All staff members that took care of me were very professional in their role as caretakers. I had my ups and downs, depression, etc. I was always consoled with love and compassion. Staff compliments to all. They treated me with TLC.
