Looking for Assisted Living? MorningStar Offers All the Services You Need


If your mom or dad needs more care than they are getting at home, you may have already started looking at assisted living facilities.  We want to introduce you to MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, which offers Colorado Springs area seniors incomparable assisted living and memory care.  Moreover, by offering 45 stylish assisted living suites in a variety of configurations, you are certain to find the perfect apartment.

To ensure you receive the appropriate care to address your needs, our move-in process includes sitting down with the Wellness Director and your family to discuss your medical history and current health conditions as well as personal preferences and routines.  From there we create an individualized care plan designed for your comfort and safety and approved by you and your family.  If or when something does change with your health, your family can rest easy knowing we conduct periodic health care reviews in order to reevaluate your needs.
  
Your monthly fee is based on several things including the level of care you will receive (we have five levels), which was established after your evaluation with our Wellness Director.  Additionally, as we offer a variety of apartments including studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, your monthly rental fee is also determined on the square footage and the location and views of your suite.  Other various auxiliary medical and non-medical services are priced a la carte. 

Every resident will have an around-the-clock Care Manager and access to a full-time licensed nurse.  We also offer pharmacy services and medication management by Certified Med Care Managers.  Please see our website for the full list of our Care Services as well as more information about our exceptional community.

MorningStar at Mountain Shadows epitomizes the very best in senior living with a unique mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest.”  Our foundation is built on honoring God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve as we create a true home for residents at the foot of the majestic Rockies.  We invite you to schedule a visit to discover why we are a step above ordinary assisted living facilities in Colorado Springs.

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.

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 .

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
