Rio Rancho’s Newest Senior Living Community Opens with Pomp & Ceremony

MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Rio Rancho opened its doors with an Inaugural Reception that included plenty of pomp and ceremony on July 11th.  On our website, you will find a picture of the ribbon cutting by first depositor Wendy Alguero (with daughter Vicenta and son Andre), Shannon Barker, Executive Director, Founder/CEO Ken Jaeger and Mayor Greg Hull.  The 150 attendees enjoyed a tour of MorningStar’s newest community in Rio Rancho, NM, a northern suburb of Albuquerque.

If a parent or loved one would benefit from the care and the many amenities and services assisted living offers but are reluctant to make a change in their current situation, please visit MorningStar’s Family Resource link to our helpful “Decision Guide.”   We know that while it is a good thing to have the various senior living options available today, it can lead to confusion and our Decision Guide helps to clarify them.   

One of the first tips in the guide is to clearly identify what you are trying to solve in terms of your parent’s comfort, wellbeing and safety.  We recommend doing this with an eye to not just next year, but to the next 5-10 years. If you are new to the concept of assisted living, it is a relatively new idea that first emerged in the late 1990s, and provides a refreshing change from nursing homes of old that were often institutional and depressing.
