About Us - Cielito Lindo Senior Living
Thanks for visiting our site and letting us share this video with you.
We are Cielito Lindo – a senior care facility in beautiful San Miguel de Allende and we serve as the assisted living and memory care component of Rancho los Labradores, which is a truly incredible one-of-a-kind country club resort-like gated community. Rancho los Labradores consists of individual villas, man made lakes, cobblestone streets, and a rich array of wonderful amenities (e.g., tennis, club house, pools, cafe, long and short term hotel suites, theater, Cielito Lindo, a la carte assisted living services).
What makes this place so amazing is not only the extraordinary care, beauty, and sense of community, but also the fact that you can have the lifestyle you desire with the care that you need as those needs arise… and all of this at a cost of living that is less than half of what it would cost comparably in the US.

Whether you are one of the 30+ million unpaid caregivers in the US caring for an adult over 50, or you are a professional, this video offers a context and a framework that is helpful in designing activities that are meaningful, both for the cared-for and the caregiver. These activities can be categorized into the following four basic groups
- Productive activities – those the make you feel like you are doing something of value.
- Leisure activities – those that give you pleasure (may be active or passive).
- Self Care Activities – those that include taking care of business (daily chores), taking care of our living space, taking care of our bodies, health and mental health.
- Rest and Restoration Activities – those that recharge your ‘batteries’, including sleep, your spiritual fulfillment and all of the other activities listed above.
