  • North Ridge Alzheimers Special Care Center Description

    At MorningStar’s North Ridge memory care community, we provide holistic memory care Albuquerque families can rely on. Our community offers various levels of living support, with our Reflection Neighborhood devoted to gentle care for seniors with memory impairment. Each senior receives individualized care for their stage of memory-loss conditions, whether onset, advanced or somewhere on the continuum of change.

    MorningStar’s approach to personalized and compassionate supported living is encompassed under what we call Lavender Sky. Under a Lavender Sky, we thoughtfully enter, embrace, and explore to find purpose and encouragement in every aspect of daily routine. We enrich the lives of all residents with special events and outings that delight and inspire. Even when spending a cozy day indoors, residents will find life enrichment in the butter-soft sunlight streaming through open blinds, the fresh scent of laundry from the dryer, and the lush fur of visiting dogs.

    Our community amenities feature warm and inviting common areas that make residents feel at home with freedom to move about independently. Likewise, our suite amenities are designed for comfortable, stress-free living. There is no rush to the rhythm of the day, but rather a gentle flow from activity to another.

    One key community feature is 24/7 access to care staff and a team of experienced memory care specialists, trained in the brand standards of Lavender Sky. Families can rest easy knowing their loved ones are valued and cared for by experts who deeply understand memory-related conditions.
