Safety and Wellbeing at MorningStar’s Community in Colorado Springs

At MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, we are committed to providing the best memory care and assisted living Colorado Springs offers, and our beautiful community was designed from the ground up to ensure our cherished residents’ safety and wellbeing.  One of the ways we do this is by providing each of our residents with around-the-clock care from our compassionate team of care managers.  This includes assistance with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and eating as well as needed medical assistance.  Each of our care managers is hired for their loving nature and their desire to care for seniors.

Our medication care managers/QMAPs are another way we help to keep our residents safe.  In fact, a National Institutes of Health study found that 40% of seniors aged 65 and older take five or more prescription medications, and 90% take at least one prescription. The same study reports that as many as 55% of seniors take their medications incorrectly.  MorningStar’s med managers will oversee both the ordering and supervised administration of a resident’s medications.

Each of MorningStar at Mountain Shadows’ 45 bright assisted living suites is equipped with a 24-hour emergency call system.  In addition, all have handicap-accessible bathrooms as well as wall-to-wall carpeting, high ceilings, large windows and lots of lighting.  Of course, our entire community is accessible with wide doorways, spacious common areas and wide hallways.  

The Reflections Neighborhood, our memory care area, offers 19 suites and is designed to encourage residents to explore their spacious surroundings easily and safely.  Warm, inviting common areas and clear wayfinding help residents feel at ease and encourage independence.  Memory care residents are also able to safely enjoy the outdoors with a secure courtyard.
