Words of Praise from our Resident Families

  • Mark McCaddon
    June 24, 2026

    To our friends at Morningstar in Longmont: The care and compassion you all have shown Melinda, and our entire family, is remarkable. We’re understandably very sad that she has declined so quickly, but we are all so grateful she was cared for under such a competent and professional group of dedicated, genuinely compassionate people. We are in awe of the kind, and quality, of people that can do this day in and day out - especially in the memory care environment. Truly a blessing. Every individual we worked with from the very beginning has been wonderful. That’s uncommon when dealing with any organization that truly is in service to people. Allison, Stevie, Judy, Christie, Kellaway, the therapists and all the rest of the staff have simply been great. Great! The Bloom group has also been so professional and conscious of keeping us informed and educated. A big thank you to April and Darci, especially during the hospice period. Bottom Line: Kudos to the entire staff at Morningstar. You hear and read so many negative things surrounding the care of the elderly in the world today. Particularly in the dementia and Alzheimers space. At the outset I had some real reservations and concerns in that regard - mostly from stories of friends and relatives who had such poor experiences with “senior care”. (Not to mention what can be read online, which is always suspect and often biased - regardless of the topic). So, it is just incredibly nice to have had the complete opposite experience with your organization. We can’t thank you all enough. Sincerely, Mark, Jeanie, Michelle & Hannah

    The work they do is far more than a profession. Day after day, they provided patience, dignity, love, support, encouragement, and companionship to residents, while also offering reassurance to families who entrust their loved ones to their care. I witnessed countless acts of kindness, both large and small, that brought comfort and joy to my Mom and gave me peace of mind. Whether it was a warm smile, a gentle touch, a shared laugh, or simply taking a few extra moments to brighten her day, those gestures meant more than you will ever know. Memory care requires not only skill and dedication but also tremendous compassion. We are profoundly grateful for the warmth, respect, and genuine concern everyone there showed Mom throughout her journey. Knowing she was surrounded by people who truly cared for her was an incredible gift to me and my family.. We will always remember the kindness and the loving care they provided to our mother. Barbara's life was a blessing to all who knew her, and we are deeply grateful that, in her final years, she was cared for by such a remarkable group of people.

    I recently stopped by Balfour Longmont to drop off a welcome basket and introduce myself and our services at Homewatch CareGivers. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I look forward to continuing to build our relationship and supporting the wonderful community at Balfour. – Ambrosha from Homewatch CareGivers

    I moved to Balfour Longmont shortly after it was built ant opened for occupants. I have never regretted that decision. This is an attractive, clean, well managed place, and I've met wonderful friends here. The activities in the independent living space are inviting and promote engagement and good health. My husband was also well served by the Memory Care staff in that attached facility. It was convenient and satisfying for us to have our different physical requirements met n the same place.

    [name removed] was such an excellent person to have our tour with. My mother is looking for an assisted living facility, and is very hard of hearing. [name removed] was so patient with her, and explained many things several times, always with a smile and with kindness. What a joy to work with her.

  • Ken P
    September 16, 2025

    My Mom, Dottie, was at Balfour for about a year before she passed earlier this year. She and her dog Lilly stayed at Balfour in assisted living and then as her dementia worsened had to move to memory care without her dog. I want to say that Balfour was truly amazing to my mom. Food was great so I never hesitated to eat there with her on a very regular basis. But most importantly, the staff was incredible. The nurses and techs were so kind, supportive, and caring to her (and I) I can’t really single one person out. Things weren’t always perfect of course, but nowhere is in heath care of any type. But the true care for my mom and I showed every day and I will be forever grateful to everyone there. Management has created a culture of caring. That’s so hard in these challenging atmospheres. Thanks to Kellaway for that- she is special. I haven’t been emotionally able to return since clearing out moms room, but all is can say is THANKS- my love to you all for your help and care. And a special shout out to Tru Hospice as well. Amazing care and coaching/support for me.

    I absolutely recommend Balfour. They have taken incredible care of my grandma and when my grandpa passed, they were there to help at our moment in need. I rest easy knowing that my grandma is Balfour and know she will be taken care of. The food is great too, for whenever I want to visit!

    By far, the highest quality Assisted Living and Memory Care in Longmont, hands down. I visited them all and am 1000% happy with my choice to help my Mother move in to the Balfour. The staff are super high quality and all really CARE about community members and provide wonderful service. I can't say enough nice things about the Balfour and I recommend it to anyone who listens!

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.
