Overview of The Village at Northrise – Morningside

On Roadrunner Parkway in Las Cruces, New Mexico, The Village at Northrise – Morningside is a two-story assisted living and memory care community with 100 beds. It sits in Doña Ana County, administered by Leah Kight. Unit options run from studios to two-bedrooms, which gives the facility some flexibility across different living space needs.

The Walk Score is 25. That puts the surrounding area in the lower end of somewhat walkable, and in practice most trips off-site will need a car or arranged ride.

Transportation services are available on-site, which matters in a location where walking to errands isn’t realistic for most residents. Fitness and recreation programming rounds out the on-site offerings. Occupancy is currently at 73%, meaning roughly one in four beds is open.

Inspections by the New Mexico Department of Health, Division of Health Improvement have historically focused on fire-safety systems, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep across the facility’s inspection record.

The facility’s combination of assisted living and memory care under one roof is its most practically useful feature for families anticipating changing care needs. At 100 beds in Las Cruces, it’s a mid-to-larger community by New Mexico standards, with enough unit variety to accommodate different household configurations.
