Our community has warm and inviting common areas throughout that encourage residents to not only feel at home but move about independently. We are proud of our team of dementia care specialists who, through the rigors of MorningStar’s Lavender Sky training, truly understand Alzheimer’s and other memory-loss conditions. Every aspect of our community is designed to comfort and care for our most tender residents from the onset of memory care through to the most advanced stages.

SEARCHING FOR THE BEST MEMORY CARE NEAR YOU

Our secure memory care neighborhood ensures the safety and wellbeing of residents through thoughtful design. Nutrition is served through tempting finger foods and family-style dining with special consideration for those who have trouble using a knife and fork.

Before a resident joins our MorningStar family, we sit down with the family to get to know each resident’s history, vocation, talents, and preferences. We then create a daily routine to stimulate or calm in response to their mood or situation. Our holistic approach includes leveraging the power of music, dance, art, aromatherapy and animals to heal and comfort, while focusing on the resident’s unique needs. MorningStar holds a Type B license to support residents who require assistance in the case of an emergency at night.

DAY PROGRAM AND SHORT-TERM STAYS

We also offer a Day Program where you can make new friendships and build a community. We were not meant to do life alone. Whether for a full day or half, seniors can enjoy meals, smiling faces and our expansive calendar of Life Enrichment activities.

Additionally, we offer Short-term Stays (30 days or less) for times when a senior’s regular caretaker is needing a vacation. These respite stays are ideal for those recovering from surgery or otherwise recuperating.

If you are in immediate need of encouragement, right now, please call the Alzheimer’s Association’s Hotline at 1.800.272.3900.

In partnership with Hines, MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at River Oaks is conveniently located near several nearby medical facilities including the River Oaks Medical Center as well as the beautiful Memorial Park. Our entire team considers providing memory care to Houston, TX families a privilege and our calling. Please contact us to learn more. MorningStar is a private pay community.

The first senior that I have ever loved was my grandmother, Mere’Mere’. After losing my grandfather in 1994, she and I became even more attached. When Mere’Mere’ was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I moved back to New Orleans to care for her. That experience was the driving force in training as a geriatric nurse for I wanted nothing more than to care for other people’s grandparents. The wisdom seniors have can only be appreciated if you take the time to sit and listen to their stories.

I was not looking for a job when the opportunity to join MorningStar presented itself. After reading the mission on which MorningStar was founded, I watched “Of Greater Purpose” that tells its origin story. It is not often you find a company that boldly stands for Christ. I knew at that moment I wanted to work for MorningStar. My prayers are always that I remain in God’s will; so it is no accident I am in the MorningStar family. I want to walk in His light and bless in some way each person I meet.
