Safety and Wellbeing at MorningStar’s Community in Colorado Springs


At MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, we are committed to providing the best memory care and assisted living Colorado Springs offers, and our beautiful community was designed from the ground up to ensure our cherished residents’ safety and wellbeing. One of the ways we do this is by providing each of our residents with around-the-clock care from our compassionate team of care managers. This includes assistance with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and eating as well as needed medical assistance. Each of our care managers is hired for their loving nature and their desire to care for seniors.

Our medication care managers/QMAPs are another way we help to keep our residents safe. In fact, a National Institutes of Health study found that 40% of seniors aged 65 and older take five or more prescription medications, and 90% take at least one prescription. The same study reports that as many as 55% of seniors take their medications incorrectly. MorningStar’s med managers will oversee both the ordering and supervised administration of a resident’s medications.

Each of MorningStar at Mountain Shadows’ 45 bright assisted living suites is equipped with a 24-hour emergency call system. In addition, all have handicap-accessible bathrooms as well as wall-to-wall carpeting, high ceilings, large windows and lots of lighting. Of course, our entire community is accessible with wide doorways, spacious common areas and wide hallways.

The Reflections Neighborhood, our memory care area, offers 19 suites and is designed to encourage residents to explore their spacious surroundings easily and safely. Warm, inviting common areas and clear wayfinding help residents feel at ease and encourage independence. Memory care residents are also able to safely enjoy the outdoors with a secure courtyard.

Please visit our website to learn more about our unsurpassed senior living community. You will discover we also offer residents luxury amenities as well as wellness programs and activities designed to keep you active and productive physically, intellectually, spiritually and socially.

MorningStar is guided by a culture rooted in our mission of honoring God, valuing seniors, and investing in our team, which allows us to deliver services with warmth, sincerity and depth of purpose. We have built a reputation for creating homes filled with an atmosphere of love and community. Please contact us to learn more about the finest memory care and assisted living Colorado Springs offers.

The Benefits of Assisted Living

Studies show that for many older adults in need of a little daily assistance, life is easier in assisted living.  The reason so many of them say they prefer assisted living to living on their own, is it actuals helps them to feel more – not less – independent.  In fact, senior living communities such as MorningStar of Littleton are designed to provide seniors a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community.   When you live in your own home, you have the constant worry of upkeep and unexpected repairs, or you may be a person who no longer feels comfortable driving and have given it up altogether.  This makes running errands, grocery shopping and getting to doctors’ appointments difficult. Moving into assisted living means you no longer have to spend time worrying about maintaining a home, and communities such as MorningStar offer scheduled transportation.  Meal prep is another thing that is often difficult for the elderly, and as a result, many older ...
