Our Caregivers Have a Felt Calling to Serve

At MorningStar of Santa Fe, we provide area seniors compassionate assisted living and memory care within a true home setting.  Our care encompasses the physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing of our residents; and in order for us to deliver on a promise of extraordinary care – it requires the commitment of an extraordinary MorningStar staff.

We are blessed to have assembled a distinguished team starting at the top with Executive Director, Leslie Castaneda, who loves working for company whose overall mission, values and integrity aligns with her own, especially when it includes working with seniors.   Emily Waldeck serves as our Wellness Director and Morgan Leach as our Life Enrichment Coordinator.  LaVerne Zimmerman is our Assisted Living Coordinator. Our dedicated, hardworking Care Managers are the type of people who are at the ready to meet every expressed (and often unexpressed) need as they assist residents with daily care activities.    

MorningStar’s hiring process starts with heart, and as such, one of the first things we look for is character, kindness and selflessness.  We are committed to hiring individuals with a felt calling to serve and who love the idea of working with seniors. As a resident of MorningStar of Santa Fe, these are the people you will interact with every day, and we are certain that in no time, they will start to feel like part of your family.
