MorningStar Senior Living Celebrates 15 Years


While MorningStar at Jordan Creek opened early this year in the West Des Moines area, the MorningStar Company is proudly celebrating 15 years of providing seniors with exceptional senior living options.  Our company was founded by Ken Jaeger who was born and raised on a large multi-generational farm in the Midwest where he was daily presented with lessons in economics, diligence, and hard work.   

After working for over fifteen years in leadership roles within senior living, Ken had a dream that he could do it better.  His desire was build a company that was built on human touch.  In fact, Ken wanted to re-create his grandmother’s house, “a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.”

So began MorningStar, which was grounded on three mission statements:

·        Honor God in our business practices and relationships — a commitment to strong moral values and ethics
·         Value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals — a commitment to creating a community that promotes a healthy, engaged lifestyle, while providing security and independence
·         Invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well — a commitment to hiring and retaining employees who use creative minds and compassionate hearts to serve residents

Even our name “MorningStar” comes from Ken’s devotional bible readings. He also knew from the start that he wanted part of the company’s profits to be used to relieve poverty around the world, which has continued to this day.  For example, MorningStar Senior Living has raised $220,000 to aid orphans in Nicaragua.

Although we were founded on Judeo-Christian values, we welcome all faiths among our residents and our staff.  MorningStar at Jordan Creek is honored to lovingly care for area seniors who need a little assistance with daily personal activities by offering 56 assisted living suites.  In addition we have 29 secure suites in our Reflections Neighborhood where we provide care for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.  Please visit our website to learn more about a unique senior living community that creates a true home for its residents. 

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 Benefits of Assisted Living

Image
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 ...
