MorningStar of Albuquerque

I can’t say enough about the exceptional care and service my dad has received at Morningstar Assisted Living. From the moment we arrived, I knew we had made the right decision. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful, immaculately maintained, and full of amenities that make it feel more like a four-star resort than an assisted living facility. It has everything from a serene garden and a movie theater to a gym, a library with a cozy fireplace, and even a salon. But it’s the staff that really makes this place stand out, and I truly feel like I’ve found a place that sincerely cares for my dad’s well-being. A huge thank you to Analise Pham in the front office, who has been incredibly helpful and welcoming. Her warmth and efficiency made the transition smooth, and she really made us feel at home right away. I also want to recognize the medical director, Elijah, who has been instrumental in coordinating my dad’s care. His professionalism and thoughtful approach have given me so much confidence in trusting Morningstar with my dad’s needs, especially after months of dealing with acute medical conditions. He has ensured my dad's move from sub-acute rehab to assisted living was seamless and safe, and I couldn’t be more grateful. That is most certainly among the reasons he has been selected as best of the best in New Mexico. The nursing staff is absolutely top-notch. Their compassionate care and attention to detail have made all the difference. I’ve also been so impressed by the dedication of the housekeeping team, Daniel and the maintenance department, and the amazingly kind staff in the dining facility. They’ve all gone above and beyond in ways I didn’t expect. Speaking of the dining staff, I’ve had the pleasure of sampling the food during my visits, and I’ve been so impressed by the quality and variety of offerings. The food is delicious, and the service is equally outstanding. It’s clear that they truly care about providing an enjoyable dining experience for the residents. Another huge plus is how the staff encourages patient participation in activities, which my dad really needs. From games in the community room to peaceful strolls through the garden, there’s always something to engage and uplift the residents. When my dad arrived, the team even greeted him with a chocolate milkshake—a small gesture that spoke volumes about the level of care and thoughtfulness at Morningstar. They also helped me haul countless boxes as I was unpacking his things, making a potentially overwhelming experience much more manageable. In short, I cannot recommend Morningstar enough. It’s a place where the staff doesn’t just meet expectations—they exceed them, every day. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found a place that not only cares for my dad’s physical needs but also fosters an environment of warmth, comfort, and community. If you’re looking for a place that truly values its residents and their families, Morningstar is the best of the best.

Beautiful and welcoming community. Great caring staff. Jackie greets you with a big smile at the front desk. Analise, Efren, and Isidro have really raised the bar for excellence throughout the community. By far the best community in the area!

My siblings and I checked out many assisted living and memory care facilities before choosing a place for our parents. We looked into other's basic philosophies, cleanliness, attention to residents etc. We unanimously decided on MorningStar, on the east side of Albuquerque. We moved them in with full confidence that we had chosen the best we could for our loved ones. This is a very clean, caring and active facility. The lovely woman that was our first contact is incredible, to say the least...I can't say enough good about her and her follow up! In all honesty, we did encounter some issues with the local organization and particular people and how their responsibilities were carried out. With that said, we are TOTALLY impressed with how, eventually, most everyone has responded to us and the issues we had. We are very happy with the outcome of our, and their, efforts. Things are running smoothly and quite as expected now. We love Morning Star, its caregivers, the administration, absolutely the salesperson and all involved. This Christian, moral based facility is highly recommended by our family!!

They’ve been amazing with my mother! And open to working with me, hospice, and home health on her care to do what’s best for her. I know staff by name, and they know me and my mom. I’m so grateful for MorningStar. I don’t know what we would do without them! I can’t recommend them enough.
