Assisted Living Can Still Give Seniors an Independent Life


At MorningStar Senior Living, we understand the importance of providing seniors with personalized care. Personalized care is essential for seniors in assisted living homes, as it can help them maintain their independence and wellbeing. Personalized senior care allows caregivers at MorningStar Assisted Living to tailor their care to meet the unique needs of each of their residents. This can include providing assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing and grooming, as well as providing emotional, social, and medical support for seniors in Assisted Living.

Personalized care in Assisted Living allows caregivers to tailor their care to meet the unique needs of each senior. Caregivers can also help seniors manage chronic conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, and provide assistance with medication management. In addition to our general services and amenities, we also offer a specialized level of care for seniors in need of more assistance. We provide a variety of therapies, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies, to help seniors maintain their independence and mobility. We also offer specialized programs, such as memory care and fall prevention, to help seniors manage chronic conditions and reduce their risk of injury.

The personalized care we offer at MorningStar Senior Living helps seniors stay engaged and connected both in and out of their Assisted Living facility. Senior Living caregivers at MorningStar help seniors explore their hobbies, join social activities, and stay active in the community. This has been proven to help seniors stay mentally and physically engaged, and can even lead to new friendships that help residents feel more fulfilled and appreciated.

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.

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. Anxiety, depression, negative eating habits, financial strain and poor health are not rare when it comes to caring for an elderly parent or family member. Children of senior parents may feel shame in assessing senior living and assisted care, but these facilities can lessen that guilt and offer a peace of mind that your loved one is healthy, safe, and happy.

Sadly, this may not always be sustainable. Perhaps you have welcomed a new child, taken a new job where you will be around less often, or maybe have decided to move. If you are unab

Does your elderly mom or dad dismiss the idea of assisted living fearing it would end their independence and life as they know it? 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. It is important to a senior’s overall health that they receive proper care as the website Aging.com reports, “Functional status and the ability to care for oneself have a significant impact on a senior's quality of life. Unmet needs for help with activities of daily living can lead to malnutrition, poor personal hygiene, isolation, illnesses like urinary tract infections (UTIs), and falls.” In fact, studies show se
