MorningStar at North Ridge

My mother is living here. it's our 3rd try and we think it's the best in the city. She's happy and well taken care of. She loves the staff and they're all really friendly. The facility is beautiful and the food is excellent. They take her on many field trip adventures. We've had a family birthday party for her there and it was perfect. The residents have become friends of my family, too. There is a beauty parlor where she gets her hair done and her nails get painted weekly. She's much more pampered than she's ever been!

Be careful. My wife was in memory care for 5 days and left. It cost us over $1,000 per day due to the contract. Oh, and when they "refunded" the $3,000 community fee. They did not refund the NM gross receipts tax. If you like your coffee and your scrambled eggs cold, this is your place. Understaffed.

North Ridge was my fathers (Eloy) home for almost 3 years. We were truly blessed to find this wonderful place. The staff is amazing and was very kind to my father. The nurses are extremely knowledgeable and have the biggest heart. Everyone took very good care of my father. He felt very comfortable at North Ridge. I can’t thank Emma, Patience, and Jen enough for the wonderful care they provided, especially during his final days. If you have to make the hard decision to place a loved one I would highly recommend North Ridge💞

My Mom was a resident at North Ridge for 1 year and 9 months. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, diabetes and other medical issues. The staff at North Ridge was invaluable. At the time we moved her there I was under a tremendous amount of stress, trying to cope with managing her care. She had come from another assisted living facility that she walked out of three times. What I found at North Ridge gave me the peace of mind I so desperately needed. I was told to let them care for my Mom, to just focus on being her daughter and enjoying my time with her. I was able to do just that. The staff at North Ridge is patient, loving, kind and professional. They show compassion to the families of their residents and welcome any questions about their care. My Mom enjoyed the delicious meals and snacks that were prepared. She was always first in line and ready to go on the weekly outings in the van. To her that was traveling, which she loved to do. At first she was somewhat reluctant to participate in the activities (there are many scheduled each day), but soon was involved in and enjoyed them. I was always welcome to join them and it gave me great joy to see how engaging the staff was with the residents. Staff at North Ridge believes each resident is special - birthdays are celebrated, Mother's/Father's Day and holidays.are celebrated. Until CoVid, residents and families were able to join together to celebrate holidays with delicious meals. It was always a very festive event. One of the reasons I chose North Ridge for my Mom's care was because of their staff to resident ratio. When you are there you will see that it is a very active place and you will immediately notice the interaction between the caring staff and residents. They also have a nurse on staff 24 hrs a day. That was important to me as my Mom's medical care needed to be managed carefully. I was notified immediately of any incident involving my Mom or issues/concerns with her medical condition. I would also add that there is a primary care doctor that visited her there and managed her care. Through North Ridge I was also able to make arrangements for a podiatrist to see her. When you put it all together it really relieved so much of the stress of managing her care. My Mom passed away one month ago. I am, and will be, eternally grateful for the care she received at North Ridge. Becky
