A Community Lead by an Extraordinary Team

As with any group, organization or company; the management team makes a difference in how things are run. This is why MorningStar of Pasadena is so proud to have a management team made up of servant-leaders who recognize the value of service. 

At the top of our team in the position of Executive Director is Kevin Taliaferro. He joined the MorningStar team a year ago in December 2020 and, as rich as his healthcare and hospitality experience was, discovering MorningStar is the best thing that has happened to his professional life. Kevin explains he finds his passion for serving seniors and MorningStar’s to be a perfect blend.  

We are also fortunate to have Sandie Montgomery serve as our Director of Community Relations. She says the first senior she ever loved was Grandma Mary, who despite her many struggles, was always full of joy. Sandie learned to never give up from this beautiful, “tough as nails” Grandma. Sandie has always felt called to serve and is drawn to the guiding wisdom of seniors. She says, “It is so important to honor them for all they have given us.”

Our Wellness Director, Rhonda Guzman, explains how much she loves working with seniors under MorningStar’s mission. She knows she can make a difference in their lives by providing a gentle touch or a kind word; listening ear or a caring act in challenging situations. Rhonda says seniors provide us with the wisdom to deal with and enjoy life to its fullest. She is “thankful to be part of the MorningStar Family and can really relate to the mission, vision and core values.
