Our Leadership Team Sets the Standard for Exceptional Care

MorningStar at Mountain Shadows is a loving senior living community nestled at the foot of the Rockies in Colorado Springs.  We are able to provide such exceptional care and create a true “home” for our residents due to a committed, passionate team lead by our leadership team who sets an example for all of us.    

Leading our team is MorningStar at Mountain Shadows’ Executive Director, Suzanne Chapple.  Suzanne explains how MorningStar means LOVE to her and how our atmosphere radiates it from the moment you walk through the door.  She is gratified to see residents and staff alike smiling and feels privileged to know she is making a difference in someone’s life, which is turn makes her life feel more complete.  Suzanne says, “Seniors teach me to slow down, to be in the moment, and to enjoy all those who make such precious moments happen.”

Cheryl Nelson serves as our Wellness Director and agrees with people who say seniors are “The Greatest Generation.”  Bill was the first senior Cheryl ever loved (she met him at age 16 as a CNA) and explains Bill taught her what it means to be a true gentleman.  She reminds us that we can learn a lot from seniors as they have seen so many changes throughout their lifetime.

Another integral part of our team is Courtney Sonnier, our Director of Community Relations.  Courtney notes that seniors have traveled much farther along life’s journey and can teach us a lot about the most important things in life.  This knowledge has helped her to set the right priorities in her own life.  Courtney reflects on how MorningStar’s teamwork is what first attracted her to our community, and she loves the fact there is no “that’s not my job” attitude but rather are a strong supportive group of people to work alongside.  

MorningStar at Mountain Shadows was honored to be awarded the “Best Retirement Home” in both 2015 and 2016, as part of the annual “Best Of” competition hosted by the Colorado Springs Gazette.  Please contact us to learn more about the area’s finest assisted living and memory care. 


At MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, we represent the very best in senior living with a unique mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest.”  We have built a foundation on honoring God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve to create a true “home” for residents at the foot of the majestic Rockies.  Please schedule a visit to experience firsthand our beautiful senior living community.

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 ...
