Colorado Springs’ Professional and Compassionate Senior Care
A step above ordinary assisted living facilities in Colorado Springs, MorningStar at Mountain Shadows is not a “facility” but a true home. Our beautiful senior community offers the area assisted living as well as memory care. Our exceptional team is experienced in serving seniors and understands what it needed to provide our residents with a lifestyle of comfort, wellness and community.
In fact, all facets of our community were designed from the ground up to compassionately and professionally serve our residents and we start with 24/7 care managers and access to licensed nurses and certified medication care managers/QMAPs. MorningStar’s care managers help our assisted living residents retain their independence by providing help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) including dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting and eating as well as other medical assistance. These dedicated individuals were hired for their big hearts and a desire to serve seniors.
MorningStar’s medication care managers/QMAPs also play an important role based on statistics from a National Institute of Health study. It reports that 40% of seniors aged 65 and older take five or more prescription medications, and 90% take at least one prescription. In addition, it found that 55% of those seniors are improperly taking their medications. Our certified med managers oversee both the ordering and dispensing of medications to our residents.
For residents’ safety, our entire community is handicap accessible with wide doorways, spacious common areas and hallways, and each suite is equipped with handicapped-accessible bathrooms. In addition, all 54 of our graciously appointed assisted living suites have a 24-hour Emergency Call System. Our Reflections Neighborhood has 19 secure suites devoted to caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia and is designed to encourage our tender residents to easily and safely explore their spacious surroundings.
To encourage residents to stay active and productive physically, intellectually, spiritually and socially, we offer wellness programs and activities. For comfort and convenience, we provide a wide range of luxury amenities. Visit our website for availability and pricing of unsurpassed senior living in Colorado Springs.
