Located in the rural community of Logan, New Mexico, Autumn Blessings Assisted Living is owned and operated by Toby and Jeanell Willis.
Autumn Blesssings was founded and operated for 20 years by Toby's parents Ken and Dell Willis. It is their vision and passion for senior care that is at the very heart of our facility. Our residents quickly become family, we strive to care for each one of them just as if they were our own.
Our facility offers twenty private rooms to senior individuals who require assistance with their daily activities or oversight of their healthcare needs. Our family environment provides a select library, spacious living area for reading and visiting, a beauty salon/barber shop for services from our on-staff beautician and a piano for musical enjoyment. Weekly in house church services are hosted on a rotating basis by local churches. Each resident's room is equipped with individual climate controls to meet individual comfort levels. Residents can also enjoy access to the internet for streaming TV services or distance communication with family and friends. Residents are encouraged to bring personal belongings and decorations to make their room feel like home.

Affording Assisted Living: Financial Options
More resources for financing assisted living are available now than ever before. And at Autumn Blessings, we understand that everyone has unique circumstances that help determine how they can best afford the costs of assisted senior living for themselves or their loved ones.
Aside from the sale of a home or traditional savings, you may qualify for some of the additional options outlined below that provide flexibility and access to resources for assisted living financing.
Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI)
Depending on your specific policy and your care needs, long-term care insurance can be a great resource for paying for specific types of senior living care. But not all LTCI policies are created equal, so read the fine print. Policies vary widely with what they will cover and won’t cover, which is why it’s important to consult with your insurance provider or a financial advisor to make sure you know exactly how your policy works.
New Mexico Medicaid
In New Mexico, Medicaid is called Centennial Care and is administered by New Mexico’s Human Services Department (HSD).
Medicaid is a wide-ranging, jointly funded state and federal health care program for low-income individuals of all ages. While the Medicaid program has many different eligibility groups, this page is focused on Medicaid eligibility for New Mexico elderly residents, aged 65 and over, and specifically for long term care, whether that be at home, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living facility.
Visit medicaidplanningassistance.org for more information.
You can also call the Human Services Department at 855-637-6574.
Tax Benefits
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers tax deductions on some costs related to senior care for both the resident and their family caregiver. Autumn Blessings does not provide tax advice, but we suggest reaching out to your tax adviser or accountant for guidance on assisted living financing, as after-tax cost of senior living can represent a significant savings. Tax deductions may apply to suite and care costs.
Veterans' Benefits
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs outlines the benefits available to our senior veterans. War veterans and their spouses may be eligible to receive nearly $2,000 per month to help defray the cost of assisted living or other non-reimbursed medical care through the Aid and Attendance program.
To learn more, visit our Veterans page, contact your Veterans Regional Office, or call 800-827-1000.
