With 36,630 people, Alamogordo, New Mexico is a relatively small city. There are only 2 nursing homes in the city, which does not provide you with too many options. We awarded this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B-, which is a solid score. We actually found this city grade was better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Las Cruces. With Las Cruces receiving a terrible grade, Alamogordo appears to be a better option. We were pleased to find one strong facility here. This might be a good place to begin your search.
