MorningStar at Mountain Shadows Offers Short Term Stays

At MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, our Colorado Springs senior living community, we provide high-quality assisted living and memory care as well as respite care.  Respite or temporary care is a great option for seniors who are recovering from surgery or an illness and require some day-to-day support services.  In addition communities such as ours allow recovering seniors the opportunity for socialization and meaningful activities.    

As a respite resident of our community, you will receive a quiet suite and personalized care to comfortably recover your health, as well as companionship and community, which can be just as important in the healing process.  Respite stays are typically 30 days or less and your spouse is welcome to join you.  Of course since our suites are subject to availability, it is important to contact us when you know you will require respite care in the foreseeable future.   

Respite or temporary care also offers a solution for seniors whose regular caregiver is taking a much needed vacation or is busy with other priorities.  However regardless of why you have come to temporarily join our community; we will make you feel right at home.   

Along with providing a fully furnished suite, our respite residents are treated to three healthy and delicious daily meals prepared by our Executive Chef, 24-hour care and medication management.  In addition, you are invited to take advantage of MorningStar at Mountain Shadows’ on-going activities, entertainment and scheduled outings.   

We have our own onsite library, theatre, fitness room, outdoor strolling paths and fireside patio as well as provide housekeeping and linen services and group transportation.  For an additional charge, you can visit our salon.  Contact us to learn more about our respite care services and how they can help you or your loved one to make a speedy recovery.
