The Reflections Neighborhood at MorningStar’s Community in Colorado Springs


At MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, our Reflections Neighborhood is specifically designed to ensure the comfort, wellbeing and safety of residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This distinct area of our community focuses on providing the finest care to meet the special needs of residents.

Care in the Reflections Neighborhood begins with a high staff to resident ratio. All team members are trained in our “Lavender Sky” program that encompasses our philosophy and approach. This training gives employees a better understanding of the disease and more tools for effective, compassionate care. In addition, residents receive daily health monitoring with access to licensed nurses and other third-party service providers.

When people visit our memory care area for the first time, they are impressed with the comfortable atmosphere of our home. Although a secure setting, independence is encouraged and residents can explore their spacious surroundings freely and easily. MorningStar’s approach to care incorporates Montessori-based therapies and includes wellness programs and activities. Activities that leverage the power of music, dance, art, aromatherapy and animals are used to heal and comfort whatever the extent of memory loss.

Our 19 memory care suites are move-in ready and just need your loved one’s personal furnishings and treasures to make it feel like home. Each unit is equipped with an emergency call system and a handicap-accessible bathroom. Included in the monthly fee are basic cable TV and utilities, weekly housekeeping, and laundry and linen services along with daily spot cleaning and trash removal.

As a family member of a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s or another dementia, you may be struggling to understand the disease and its consequences. MorningStar recognizes many of our residents’ families need help navigating through the various challenges of the disease, and we believe it is important to provide the support they need. Please contact us or visit our website for more information about trusted memory care or assisted living in Colorado Springs.

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.

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.
