Learn More About Memory Care at MorningStar of Wheat Ridge

MorningStar of Wheat Ridge offers the greater Denver area unsurpassed assisted living and memory care.  Along with 45 private assisted living suites, our Reflections Neighborhood has 19 secure suites in a variety of studio and one and two-bedroom configurations devoted to caring for seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.   

As dementia care specialists, we understand how devastating it is when a loved one receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another memory loss disease, and we want you to know we are here to help.  Our entire memory care area is specifically designed to allow our most tender residents the freedom to explore our expansive surroundings safely and easily. Within the safe haven of our “Neighborhood,” we have created an environment that encourages and supports residents’ independence whenever possible.   

Our holistic approach to memory care is designed to affirm the value of the person and to find ways to celebrate the smallest successes.  MorningStar leverages the power of dance, music, art, exercise, animals and aromatherapy in order to heal and comfort, and provides meaningful wellness programs and activities that engage our residents.  Also, as many adverse behaviors are often side effects from antipsychotic drugs, our goal is to have as few as possible of our residents on such drugs.

We recognize that the essence of the individual remains despite the extent of the memory loss, and that our job is to find ways to connect with and nurture it.  MorningStar’s philosophy and approach to this kind of supported living is encompassed under the breadth of possibilities we call “Lavender Sky.”  Thus, each day we strive to thoughtfully “enter, embrace and explore” the world of dementia.
