MorningStar at Mountain Shadows Offers Loving Memory Care


One of the best Colorado Springs assisted living facilities, MorningStar at Mountain Shadows devotes 19 secure suites in its Reflections Neighborhood to the care of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  Our specially trained staff provides personalized care for residents using some of the most respected research-based care programs to give residents the best life possible.  Furthermore, our community is equipped to care for individuals in the onset of the disease right through to the most advanced stages. 

At Mountain Shadows, we take a gentle, resident-directed approach to calm and awaken memories as well as to support capabilities.  By interviewing family members, we gather together a complete history of a resident’s preferences, abilities and idiosyncrasies and use that information to help create a daily routine designed to stimulate or calm, in response to a particular situation or mood.

The goal of MorningStar’s methods is to affirm dignity and value of each resident and to support choice and independence as much as possible.  Our warm and loving Reflections Neighborhood offers residents the freedom to safely and securely move about and includes a courtyard to enjoy the outdoors.  Along with using multi-sensory cues, including aromatherapy, our memory care residents are provided with recreational and meaningful activities including music, life skills, art, entertainers and exercise.    

A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia can be devastating to a family but we want you to know the team at Mountain Shadows is here to help. We consider it our calling as well as our privilege to care for your loved one and to help your family to better understand the disease. Please visit our website to learn more.
