MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Albuquerque

What a lovely place... Godly, loving, kind, fun people. Everyone is happy and smiling at Morningstar Albuquerque...

We have been a part of several communities in our area, but the sense of family, the access to the staff and the stellar care Dad has received is unparalleled with our MorningStar experience. Thank you so much to the staff of MorningStar! We feel confident that Dad is in the best hands possible. We appreciate you all!

Morningstar Senior Living is a great place to live! Everyone is so caring!

Both my parents have dementia and moved into the memory care section. Things were so bad, I had to move my parents out after just short of two months of living there. The afternoon/evening memory care staff is lacking in training and in being able to be responsible and follow a simple schedule. My father needs to have his catheter emptied of urine every three to four hours by a caregiver due to his having dementia. On several occasions, the evening staff would forget to do this, and while my father was sleepy/tired and wanting to get into bed, he himself would disconnect the leg bag from the catheter himself, causing urine to get all over his mattress. On a couple of occasions, I had to call to remind the staff that his leg bag needed to be drained, and to get him ready to go to bed. There were other problems, but one that should be mentioned is the gentleman who was the medications tech. One evening just before dinner, and with my brother present, while he was taking my father's blood sugar reading, he wiped off the blood from my father's finger with his own bare finger, thus causing cross contamination. This guy would never wear gloves. One time, when I asked why he didn't wear gloves while doing the blood sugar monitoring, he answered with, "If I'm in a rush, I don't wear gloves." Can you believe it. Many of the discrepancies were reported to the Director of Nursing (who in my opinion was not at all qualified for this position) and she never corrected anything. She would just make promises. The Executive Director also didn't make any improvements, and sometimes would not even respond to my emails. The list of things goes on and on, and like I mentioned at the beginning, my parents were living there just short of two months.

Beautiful community! Very clean and great customer service right when you walk in the building. You can just feel the warmth of the staff and residents when you walk in and tour by all their smiling faces. I was very impressed by their state survey results as well! More than just a beautiful building.

MorningStar has a really good reputation in the Albuquerque Senior Living community. I have heard that it is a great place to work, where the employees feel valued and have even tried to come back after leaving for one reason or another. The residents also seem so happy when I've stopped by to visit. They look well cared for and engaged.

Upon entry the feeling was warm and inviting. The concierge greeted me. I loved the fresh flowers and the open airy feeling.

Very nice place and very clean. Atmosphere is nice and would recommend to anybody meeting criteria

Beautiful and clean. Everyone welcomes and introduce ABQ MorningStar is a happy place to be. All the team members are kind and loving. When you come in the community you get a warm home-y feeling

One of the most difficult things was the decision to put my granddad in a community. After having two sub-par experiences at previous senior livings, I was very weary. However, MorningStar was different. The quality of care, the people and the beautiful atmosphere blows me away every day. Through MorningStar my family grew, and I and my beloved grandfather found a new home. I am so grateful and blessed for MorningStar. They have been a light for our family in this very arduous and emotional journey.
