MorningStar of Littleton’s WellStar Program

All of our MorningStar communities, including MorningStar of Littleton, provide our residents with our signature wellness program, WellStar. Offering an array of creative and enriching ways to stay active and productive, our programs integrate different modalities and senses for both the body and the mind. WellStar has five wellness components – physical, spiritual, intellectual, social, and food philosophy. 

Our daily assortment of physical wellness activities has been designed to meet a range of capabilities as well as a variety of interests. We also recognize meeting the spiritual needs of our seniors is vital to their wellbeing, and as such, our chapel is open to all faiths. MorningStar also offers non-denominational services on a regular basis along with bible study and hymn singing. While MorningStar was founded on a Judeo-Christian tradition, we honor all faiths at our communities, among both our residents and team members.

In terms of intellectual wellness, we understand that it is important for seniors to continue to stimulate their brains, and we offer a daily dose of brain calisthenics designed to introduce new ideas and practice cognitive skills. Furthermore, we do not neglect the importance of social wellness. Almost everything we do at MorningStar of Littleton enriches our community and advances our goal of building a family for life. Socializing comes in the form of organized events and activities or just informal gatherings discussing the day’s topics. 

We also do not forget the philosophy that healthy, nutritious food is the centerpiece of wellness and it becomes even more critical as we age. Our daily meals include the addition of foods that new research finds has tremendous healing power such as: berries, chocolate high in cocoa mass, Omega 3 fats, turmeric, and dark leafy greens.

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.

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 Power of Pets in Our Lives

We all know the saying about a dog being man’s best friend, but how about the one coined by Charles Schultz that adds, “Happiness is a warm puppy?” Another enthusiastic dog lover sums it up with, “If you want someone to love you forever, buy a dog, feed it and keep it around.”  Regarding relationships with four-legged creatures in general, British author, George Elliot wrote, “Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” Also the Scottish-American Naturalist, John Muir noted, “Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.”  Considered by most to be loyal companions and steadfast friends, our pets don’t judge, don’t criticize and most importantly love unconditionally . In fact many pet owners say their dog or cat knows when they are feeling sad or upbeat and are ready and eager to give consoling hugs in the form of a cuddle or an excited, happy to see you “tail wag.”  Pets
