New Mexico is home to a rapidly growing number of senior citizens, with adults over 65 making up an estimated 17 percent of the population. Families looking for assisted living in New Mexico (NM) have a wide array of communities to choose from. Assisted living communities in New Mexico were formally referred to as adult residential care facilities by the state. As of 2018, the correct technical term for these communities within the state was assisted living facilities (ALFs).

Katie Stone, Executive Director at the New Mexico Autism Society, worked on creating “Autism ID” with the NM Center for Development and Disability. You can download the form and create an “ID” for yourself or someone in your family who has autism. This could be useful for air travel security, for interactions with police, security, emergency or health professionals.
