MorningStar Helps to Change the Image of Assisted Living


Older adults may have grown up with a skewed image of what senior living looks like. Media, such as television and movies, often portray assisted living and retirement homes as drab, outdated communities with sterile walls and decoration. There is often a stigma associated with moving to assisted living, but MorningStar at Jordan Creek is changing the narrative and strives to empower future residents with their decision making to live in assisted care and build individualized care plans based on their needs.

MorningStar at Jordan Creek’s assisted living in Des Moines is modern and lively as we encourage our residents to participate in community involvement and hobby exploration. Residents in assisted living are typically independent but may need help with meal preparation, medication scheduling, personal hygiene assistance, or upkeep with chores and errands. While staying in assisted living at MorningStar, these worries can be handled while you enjoy our resort-style amenities and meaningful skill building programs and activities. While staying in senior living and assistant care, you can benefit from participating in social interactions and activities geared towards your interests and passions without worrying about household upkeep or struggling to complete tasks on your own.

Assistant care at MorningStar in Des Moines is flexible. Every senior’s needs are different and range in intensity of need as their life changes. Choosing to stay in our assisted living guarantees that your care will be able to change as your needs change, without question or rigidity. While your needs may change over time, you can still maintain your independence. Nursing homes are defined by around the clock care by nurses. In MorningStar’s assisted living, you have the choice of living in modern individual suites and living your life as you normally would but with a helpful hand by your side to make sure you are happy and healthy.

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.

Do they think assisted living homes are more like nursing homes of the past? We want to reassure you and your senior loved one that assisted living communities such as MorningStar at Mountain Shadows are not nursing homes. In fact, we do not offer skilled nursing services but rather provide assistance with the ADLs (activities of daily living), along with engaging activities and other services intended to improve and enhance quality of life.
