Testimonials
Taylor and June McConnel
El Castillo residents for six years
Taylor: “The number one thing that makes El Castillo great is the staff. They are superb; the are efficient, friendly, and most importantly they all seem to enjoy being around older people.”
“The second thing is the lack of regimentation. We take part in activities as much or as little as we want. We're still in charge of our own lives, but when we need assistance, it's available.”
June: “The way the staff interacts with us and takes care of our needs is wonderful. And the way the residents care about each other is great, too.”
“I really appreciate the fact that I just have to write one check each month to take care of everything — I used to have to write so many checks and there were so many things to keep up with.”

A
native Santa Fean and an El Castillo resident for three years
“The location is fabulous. Being downtown lets me enjoy the same flavor of Santa Fe I had when I was a kid growing up here.”
“The food is wonderful and I appreciate all the amenities, the transportation, entertainment, and so on. All the residents are friendly and the staff is great, too.
“Best of all is the Health Center! I recently stayed there for 13 days and I was treated with TLC and I was as comfortable as I would have been in my own home.”
Other comments from residents
“At El Castillo you keep your independence. You’ve made your decision about where to live and it was your choice — not someone else’s.”
“This is the best gift you can give your children.”
“When you’re staying in your own home alone, you can become isolated and reclusive. There is a big support group here, yet you have your privacy…”
“Sign up early. I should have signed up years ago!”
