    Staff is truly caring, the food is good and the whole place clean. Access to staff and the administration is easy and they are responsive. It’s the care mom gets there that provides peace of mind and allows us to travel knowing that she’ll be taken care of

    I am pretty new here to Morningstar. I really enjoy having my own room and not having to share with a Roomate. I get to have my pet cat Twinkie here with me. I love that someone comes and cleans my apartment once a week. The people here are very friendly.

  • Neva T

    Everybody is so friendly here staff and residents. We really enjoy the activities that are here at Morningstar. We really like having the church services here on Sundays in the theater. We a lot really enjoy having the drivers able to drive us a 20 mile radius to our Dr. Appointments and such. We just moved to a Penthouse and really enjoy the space and view.

  • Carol V

  • Christine K

    I am currently an Independent resident and have been here almost 3 years now. I really enjoy the food here and especially the kitchen staff. They are always ready for me when I come down for dinner. I keep to myself a lot but the activities I have tried I have really enjoyed. I really enjoy that they have Catholic mass here once a week.

  • Keith Eipper
    May 21, 2026

    I have been here for 3 years. My wife and I originally moved here. Coming here was our 18th move as I was a Iternant Pastor. I am a very outgoing man and I love talking with all the residents. Almost all the servers are very nice here and very helpful. I know I will eventually need care here and I feel very confident that they will take care of me the same way they do with the assisted here.

  • carol C
    May 21, 2026

    My husband really enjoys the Men’s group on Saturday mornings. We don’t really have friends other than here and I think the people that live here are real good people. We wouldn’t miss a happy hour here! They really put on a great happy hour with entertainment and snacks. Perfect time spending time with friends. We really appreciate having our apt cleaned once a week.

    My grandfather is currently a resident in the memory care facility. We are so pleased with the detailed specialized care that is given to him. The kindness of the staff and the peace of mind knowing my grandfather is in the best hands. Morning Star has gone above and beyond to work closely with our family as we navigate the memory care world.

  • Floyd H

    I like living here because everything is walking distance to everything like Target, Walmart, Home Depot and more.. I love the convenience of getting rides to any doctors appointments I need. I like going to meals with the friends I have made here. I also enjoy walking on Cherry Creek Trail.

    May 28, 2026

    My husband has been a resident at MorningStar of Parker for about six months now. He has a very spacious one-bedroom apartment in the Assisted Living section. The community is very welcoming. The caregivers are, for the most part, very friendly and professional, and they love my husband. We've had some negative issues with one caregiver, but MorningStar management has been very responsive and quickly worked to see that problems have been resolved to our satisfaction. I'd been my husband's sole caregiver for nearly two years after a disabling accident, and it was very difficult for me to understand that I could no longer provide the care he needed. MorningStar has provided what he needs, and that's allowed me to be his wife and best friend again. I'm very grateful to have found MorningStar of Parker and for the warmth and welcome we've both experienced from management and staff.

  • Alan W
    May 19, 2026

    I have been here 3 year and I love the location of Morningstar. It is very close to my son who lives here. The staff here is friendly and very helpful. The environment is very pleasant. I really enjoy this community. I really enjoy taking my power chair over to the Cherry Creek trail drive around and look at all the trees and birds.

    The staff and Morning Star Senior Living in Parker have been exceptional to work with. In a time when my parents needed extra assistance they were there every step of the way to transition my parents into a situation that would better help them be more successful. The constant communication and support was top notch. I was never in the dark about any part of the transition. I know my parents are in the safest of hands and that makes me feel very relaxed and safe. Loren Bengston

Savor the Day

Dining is one of the great pleasures of living, especially when enjoyed in community. Breaking bread together offers far more than nutrition. It bonds us as family and friends. It is also the centerpiece of personal wellness, for through proper diet and healthy choices, food is a healing medicine unlike any other.

COMPANION LIVING

MorningStar offers Companion Living in all of our communities, where two unrelated people of the same sex share a suite, whether in independent living, assisted living or memory care.

Not only does this living arrangement enhance life by its camaraderie, it also extends savings.

REVERSE MORTGAGE

When one partner needs assisted living, and the other partner chooses to remain living in a private home, a reverse mortgage may be a good solution to help pay for increased expenses. Without affecting Medicare or Social Security benefits, reverse mortgages allow a homeowner to stay in the home and withdraw from the equity that the couple has built. Mortgage holders get tax-free cash flow as a loan against that equity, a loan that doesn’t need to be repaid until the house is sold or the owner moves out or dies.

Be sure to vet lenders and their terms thoroughly before making any decision. If you would like to be connected to a trusted, licensed reverse mortgage partner, call 888.228.4500.

SELLING THE HOME

The equity built up in a private home is typically a retiree’s largest asset, making the proceeds from selling extremely helpful when transitioning to a senior community. However, selling a home in a timely manner can be challenging and time-consuming. This is especially true when adult children are not living near to assist.

Many families find it helpful to work with a Real Estate Professional experienced with all aspects of selling a senior’s home. From packing and cleaning to listing and selling, ElderLife’s agents are ready to assist with the entire process to simplify a senior transition. To be connected with a local agent, call 888.228.4500.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Approach Social Security (SS) benefits tactically. Historically, it was wise to take SS benefits early and invest them. Today, that’s not necessarily so. Maximized benefits may best be found through delayed retirement credits. Depending on your birth year, benefits increase by 3-8% annually. If you wait until age 70 to collect, that monthly check could increase by 25% or more. And a surviving spouse receives the entirety of that benefit upon the worker’s death, making delayed retirement credits even more valuable. Study the new rules to choose your best course.

MEDICARE

Think of Medicare as health insurance for those 65 years and older, regardless of income. While Medicare never pays for assisted living, it is designed to help fund certain postacute expenses in the first 100 days, namely hospitalization and rehab, as long as the person’s health is improving.
Once you’ve plateaued, Medicare stops paying.

Benefits may be available for home health care, but only if certain conditions are met. Medicare Part A covers hospice (palliative care) for the actively dying, regardless of income, including in a senior living community. Click here for original source info.

In contrast, Medicaid is a federal government program that subsidizes the medical expenses (including certain health services and nursing home care) for low income people of all ages. MorningStar does not accept Medicaid. Click here for more information.

LEVERAGE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES

Whole life and universal life policies build a reserve of cash through interest-earning excess premiums (known as the policy’s “cash value”). In some situations, life insurance can be a source of ready funds through cash surrender, death benefit loans, accelerating death benefits, life (or viatical) settlements, or even selling the policy on the open market for immediate cash.

Before acting on any of these methods, consult a financial advisor, as there may be tax consequences. Life Care Funding can also help you determine whether a policy can be converted. Click Here

TAX BENEFITS

The IRS allows certain deductions on a federal tax return for the cost of housing and meals of those receiving long-term care in a senior community due to chronic illness or the inability to live alone.

Assisted living residents may qualify for these deductions if a physician certifies that they have been unable to perform at least two activities of daily living (such as eating, bathing or dressing) without assistance for at least 90 days. The same deductions can apply to those who require substantial supervision due to memory impairment.

An adult child paying for a parent’s care may also qualify for the tax deductions, if the child can claim the parent as a dependent. Consult a tax advisor for further information or visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Click Here.

LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE

Long-term care insurance helps pay for senior care and protect personal assets by covering expenses up to the amounts set forth in the policy. LTC insurance pays for a variety of services in senior communities, and can offer care options that may not be covered through the federal subsidies of Medicare and Medicaid (see below section).

LTC policies can be complex and it may be difficult to understand and activate your policy. If you have questions about your Long-term Care policy, call 888.228.4500 to be connected with an expert for a free policy review.

BRIDGE LOANS

It’s not uncommon for families to be short on funds when transitioning a loved one into a senior community. The ElderLife Bridge Loan allows you to pay for rent and care in the short term while waiting for other funds to come in. Common financial shortfalls include the time that it takes to list and sell a home, or the waiting period before receiving VA Benefits.

The Bridge Loan is designed like a line of credit, bridging the financial shortfall for up to 12 months. The loan is unsecured (no collateral needed) and approved quickly with no penalty for early payoff and affordable interest payments as low as $8 per $1000 borrowed.

To learn more about the ElderLife Bridge Loan, call 888.228.4500 or Click Here.
