SOMEONE TO LEAN ON
The only difference in our senior years is that we may have to open ourselves to a little help once in a while. And from that level of honesty and transparency, we enter into a truer human experience, one in which we can receive—and give—love. It becomes a lovely exchange of mutual blessing.
MorningStar offers Assisted Living neighborhoods with various levels of support with the activities of daily living, each type of assistance determined after an assessment with our Wellness Director, working in agreement with the senior and extended family. In all cases, around-the-clock Care Managers are on site and at the ready to ensure your safety as they meet your expressed (and even unexpressed) needs.

A Candid Word to the Spouse or Adult Child Regarding Assisted Living
Perhaps all this talk about assisted living communities is attended with feelings of guilt in you as the spouse or adult child of a senior in need. You wish you could open your own home to a beloved senior, but other commitments and constraints prevent you. Perhaps you are now the caregiver, and feel apprehensive about turning that role over to someone else, even though your selflessness is taking its toll on your own health and well being. Please know we are here not to replace you, but to walk beside you and be a loving presence in your family's life.—all in the hope of being an additional loving presence in. And if you allow MorningStar to assume the full-time role of Care Manager, the two of you are free to reestablish a more balanced relationship. Finally relax. Share a laugh. Enjoy each other.

Day Program and Short-term Stays
We are pleased to also offer a Day Program in our community, an opportune setting in which to make new friends and reap the rewards of community life. Whether for a full day or half, seniors can enjoy meals, welcoming faces and our full calendar of Life Enrichment activities.
Additionally, we offer Short-term Stays (30 days or less) for those times when a senior's regular caregiver is needing a vacation. These respite stays are ideal for those recovering from surgery or otherwise convalescing. MorningStar offers the quiet quarters and attendance you need to fully recover. We also offer the companionship and community that is just as much a part of healing.
