MINDY MELENDEZ Executive Director MorningStar Senior Living–Acadia


Serving and appreciating seniors was instilled in MINDY MELENDEZ from an early age. Having lost both parents early, Melendez embraces the chance to be a daughter again at MorningStar at Arcadia. Her career in senior care is a way to give back to the generations that contributed so much to her formative years. “The lives seniors have lived are grand and fascinating! I listen with sincere admiration of the challenges they’ve faced. Their stories are locked in my heart, and often shared with my son to help him understand that we must serve others and exude love if we are to truly understand the meaning of life.” Melendez’s passionate servant-leadership has earned her fi ve internal promotions in her four years


with MorningStar Senior Living, a company that starts with heart in choosing its leaders. Melendez is exemplary of that fact. Beyond MorningStar’s walls, her devoted support extends to the Alzheimer’s Association, Child Crisis Arizona, and the Nicaraguan orphanage supported by MorningStar.
