MorningStar Hosts a Dementia Support Group

MorningStar at Jordan Creek is honored to provide the West Des Moines area with the finest assisted living and memory care.  To achieve this, we not only serve our residents but serve our residents’ families as well as the wider community.  From listening to problems or concerns family members may have, to lending support to those dealing with a loved one afflicted with Alzheimer’s, our team is here to help.  

One example of our outreach into the Des Moines community is to host a Dementia Support Group.  “It’s About Empathy…and a Whole Lot of Love,” is a caring conversation for families living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, and we wholeheartedly encourage you to come and be encouraged!

The group meets on the first Wednesday of each month from 1:30 to 3:30 PM.  Light refreshments will be served, and as seating is limited, we ask that you RSVP.   The group is in support of the Alzheimer’s Association.   

At MorningStar at Jordan Creek, we are dedicated to creating a true home for our residents and provide them with a lifestyle of comfort, wellness and community.   And while we opened our doors in March of this year and may be a new name to the area, MorningStar Senior Living is highly experienced in providing exceptional care for seniors. 

We offer 56 bright suites for assisted living and our spacious, private suites are available in a wide variety of well-designed floor plans and loaded with features reflective of those found throughout our beautifully-appointed community.   In addition we are dementia experts, and within our Reflections Neighborhood, we have 29 secure suites devoted to the individualized care of those with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases.   Please visit our website for more information about our loving community. 


MorningStar at Jordan Creek proudly provides the very best in senior living with our unique mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest.”  With a foundation built on honoring God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve, we create a true home for residents amid a beautiful setting.  Please schedule a tour to discover the newest community in the West Des Moines area.

The MorningStar Family

MorningStar Senior Living’s Founder and CEO, Ken Jaeger, first began forming the idea of starting a company from a desire to create senior living that was defined by the human touch. He says his intention was to “re-create my grandmother’s house, a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.” This simple but profound concept has driven the overwhelming success of our MorningStar brand. Now nearly seventeen years later, MorningStar continues to add communities across the Western U.S., including MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Littleton, in the Greater Denver area. At MorningStar of Littleton, our goal is to create a true home for our residents - one that feels like a family. To help us achieve this, our dedicated team strives to live up to our unique mission statement, which includes honoring God in all of our business practices and relationships and valuing all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals. The last part of our mission statement is t

The Top Reasons Family Considers Assisted Living

Coming to the realization that your loved one may need support beyond what you can provide comes with difficult decisions to make regarding assisted living . Caregivers of family members and loved ones that have special needs or require extra help often experience their own hardships. Anxiety, depression, negative eating habits, financial strain and poor health are not rare when it comes to caring for an elderly parent or family member. Children of senior parents may feel shame in assessing senior living and assisted care, but these facilities can lessen that guilt and offer a peace of mind that your loved one is healthy, safe, and happy. You know your parent better than anyone and have developed a care routine that allows your parent to be close by or living in similar circumstances of their younger years. Sadly, this may not always be sustainable. Perhaps you have welcomed a new child, taken a new job where you will be around less often, or maybe have decided to move. If you are unab

The Benefits of Assisted Living

Studies show that for many older adults in need of a little daily assistance, life is easier in assisted living.  The reason so many of them say they prefer assisted living to living on their own, is it actuals helps them to feel more – not less – independent.  In fact, senior living communities such as MorningStar of Littleton are designed to provide seniors a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community.   When you live in your own home, you have the constant worry of upkeep and unexpected repairs, or you may be a person who no longer feels comfortable driving and have given it up altogether.  This makes running errands, grocery shopping and getting to doctors’ appointments difficult. Moving into assisted living means you no longer have to spend time worrying about maintaining a home, and communities such as MorningStar offer scheduled transportation.  Meal prep is another thing that is often difficult for the elderly, and as a result, many older adults who live alone do not
