MorningStar’s Philosophy and Mission



MorningStar at Jordan Creek is dedicated to providing the finest senior living Des Moines and the surrounding area has to offer.  That is why we encourage families to learn as much as they can about our beautiful, loving community so they can understand what sets us apart from other senior living communities.  On our website, you will find a variety of resources as well as information regarding signs your loved one may need assisted living or memory care. 

Under our FAQ’s, we answer common questions families and seniors have about our community such as the type of services we offer, our payment structure, and the different levels of care.  In addition you will find information regarding our values and way of thinking as well as how MorningStar Senior Living was started.   

In 2003, Ken Jaeger founded MorningStar under the philosophy that he would create “senior loving homes” where residents would be seen as heroes.  This approach and mission resonates at every level and is how we align our priorities as well as define our behavior.  Our team consists of a group of dedicated individuals who have a felt calling to serve, and while we are rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs, we welcome all faiths among our residents and team members.

We dispense our brand of service excellence under our exclusive “Radiance” program, which is what we use to guide our service and to foster a culture where kindness and authenticity are paramount.  Following Ken Jaeger’s example, we are encouraged to be a company of servants’ hearts and people of action, and to meet the needs of others both here in our community as well as across the globe. 

Please visit MorningStar at Jordan Creek’s website to learn more about our compassionate community.  We are honored to care for seniors and respectfully treat each of our residents with the dignity they deserve.  Contact us to set up a tour to experience our loving community firsthand. 


The unique mission statement of MorningStar at Jordan Creek, “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities. Our foundation is built upon honoring God, valuing all seniors, and investing in staff with a felt calling to serve. Dedicated to creating a real home for residents within a beautiful setting, we encourage you to see for yourself the finest senior living Des Moines area has to offer.

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 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.

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
