MorningStar's Assisted Living in Colorado Springs
If you are new to the concept of assisted living, and are unsure of the difference between other senior living options including independent living, MorningStar at Mountain Shadows is here to help. Not only is our staff happy to answer any questions but our website provides information on our company’s history, vision, and mission as well as what sets us apart from other assisted living Colorado Springs offers.
To start with, assisted living offers various levels of support with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing and other support services including meals, transportation and wellness activities in a residential setting. Independent living is for seniors who enjoy the benefits offered by community living including predictable budgeting, companionship, and activities; but do not require assistance with personal care. A nursing home is unlike assisted living as it is designed for people requiring around-the-clock nursing care.
When you visit our website, be sure to check out our FAQs found under our “Family Resources” tab. We supply answers to many of the questions you probably have as well as a little background regarding the MorningStar Senior Living Company. You will also find important information on how we determine your loved one’s level of care and reassurances regarding our commitment to regularly re-evaluate care plans to keep up with changing needs.
Moreover, we can help residents find a primary care doctor or specialty health care providers such as Occupational Therapists or Physical Therapists. When needed, we provide transportation to doctor appointments with vehicles that accommodate walkers or wheelchairs.
Our FAQs give a quick overview of the training our Care Managers receive, which includes an orientation program (and a three-day shadow), Radiance culture training, 8-hour dementia training, and ongoing training in specific care needs. Our Medication Managers are trained Qualified Medication Administration Persons (QMAP).
Finally, MorningStar wants you to know we have made many changes in our community in our coordinated defense in the fight against the coronavirus. As the nation slowly reopens, MorningStar at Mountain Shadows is judiciously following our state’s guidance in terms of phasing and pacing. We continue to stay abreast of developments and evaluate best practices and innovations in our services to seniors.
