This is a business focused on the bottom line, not the consistent care and happiness of it's employees and residents. Very little compassion shown by management to residents and the family.

I am very thankful to MorningStar. They showed great compassion towards my father who was near the end of his life. The staff was amazing. The facility was clean and up to date. Thanks again.

I am grateful that Mom lives at MorningStar. I believe they have helped her to live her best life these last couple of years and I'm sure they will continue to do the same going forward. I helped Mom move into a previous assisted living facility, as well as getting my grandmother moved and settled a few times in her later life as needs changed. None of those places offered the peace of mind I enjoy with Mom living at MorningStar. The staff is top tier. Everyone is friendly, supportive, thoughtful and encouraging. Everybody puts a bit of themselves and their love into the care they provide residents, from med techs to housekeepers, kitchen staff and the concierge desk, maintenance and activities directors. They are in contact with me whether she's had a small tumble or having a great time enjoying activities. I know much of this is possible due to their wonderful staff to resident ratio. The support I, myself, have been offered by MorningStar has been invaluable. Mom has had some medical and physical changes in the last couple years. Managers have been proactive at each turn to help me get Mom any extras she needs or outside help that will ease the burdens associated with an aging parent. As an only child, sometimes these changes and decisions can feel overwhelming, but I've never felt alone. In addition to practical help, these wonderful people have been incredible listeners and give great hugs. The activities are abundant and fun. Flower arranging, painting, choir, karaoke, nail polishing, visits from musicians, visits from shelter animals, a movie theater, ice cream trolly, exercise classes... The list goes on. They make a point of inviting family and friends to participate in these, as well as weekly happy hour and delicious holiday meals. The building itself is new, bright and beautiful. Community areas are both aesthetically pleasing and super comfortable. There are frequently people hanging out around the fireplace lately, in the courtyard on warm days and laughing in the activities center year round. Life is always life, and things don't always go smoothly. We had a problem with the connected pharmacy and another with outside nursing staff. Both times MorningStar stepped in and handled things for us to ensure Mom's comfort and safety as she is their priority. Again, I am very grateful for MorningStar and everything they provide for Mom and myself. Especially the intangibles that can only be felt in our hearts.

This is the highlight of the week for me! I love working with everyone, singing, playing instruments and sometimes dancing. Michelle, Carol and all your staff are so friendly and helpful.

They are about the same. This one everyone's an actor playing the part of being enchanting and accomodating. The short handed staff talk in whispers. The food is subpar, frozen, can, pkg poor quality not nutritous. Be nice if kitchen wait staff would smile. They have one wait person for the entire place, no wonder she doesn't smile. It lacks a lot but I am told they only do what they are paid for in the contract. I wouldn't want my family member to have to live there.

My mom has been in Assisted Living for over 5 years. She and the entire community of her current Assisted Living facility are all being displaced and will be given a 30 day notice to vacate. With the entire community scrambling to find new Assisted Living accommodations we toured a few facilities and found Morningstar to be the perfect place for our mom. From the extremely friendly and compassionate staff to the many activities and delicious, nutritious meals, we found the apartments and studio layouts spacious, bright and extremely clean. Staff answered all questions without hesitation and in a professional and compassionate manner. The residents all appeared happy and were engaging in the many activities. It’s a beautiful facility and a perfect fit for our mom.

My 93-year-old mom spent the last few months of her life in this assisted living setting. The staff, from top to bottom, was so loving and conscientious from the time my mom arrived through the time of her passing. Nice, smart, responsible, compassionate people. Our family sincerely thanks MorningStar staff and administration for everything.

The particular location we stayed was new and fresh. Excellent time, worst part was driving downtown close to the plaza

The entire staff at Morning Star are very caring and sincere in their duties and work. Very clean facility. All residents seem to feel welcome and comfortable and get the feel of home away from home. Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s loved ones are at that stage in life. You won’t have to worry about mistreatment or cruelty and you will feel that they will be in good hands!

Let me start off by saying that finding the right Memory Care for my dad has been a huge challenge. Within a year, he has been in and out of five different facilities and each one was worse than the last! And so, I can easily say I feel truly blessed to have found Morning Star. I feel my dad can live a life of quality here. Care is reflected in everything and everyone you see. The staff is professional, caring and attentive. They are dedicated to their residents and they listen and respond to feedback. A variety of activities are provided daily. The facility is clean, bright, beautifully furnished and elegant. They have an attractive outdoor patio area. We have eaten there, and not only does the food look good, it tastes good. Thank you, Morning Star, for taking such good care of dad. Sincerely, Mia Valencia (Carlos’s daughter:)

Leslie Castaneda, Executive Director, and her staff have rapidly developed a wonderful program supporting many local charities in Santa Fe in the past year. They have created an absolutely gorgeous brand new property. Their Community Giving program includes more than 15 local charities. They are amazing community parties. Check them out for your friends & relatives who are senior citizens that need this kind of care.
