MorningStar at Mountain Shadows Offers Memory Care You can Trust
While a senior with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia may be fine staying at home during the early stages of the disease, there may come a time when they would benefit from a move to a community offering dedicated memory care. This is when assisted living communities like MorningStar at Mountain Shadows can be a support to families struggling with the decision of what is best for mom or dad.
In our distinct Reflections Neighborhood we are honored to elevate life for those living with a diagnosis of dementia. Our dedicated team is ready to shoulder some of the burden for residents and their families throughout this unexpected journey. MorningStar’s memory care comes from a position of respect for residents, and is filled with compassion, dignity and love.
We begin our relationship by getting to know the person’s history, interests, abilities and preferences, and use this information to create a daily care plan to address their needs. Our signature philosophy and approach in dementia care is described by the expanse of possibilities we call “Lavender Sky” where our ambition is to thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore. The entire MorningStar team completes Lavender Sky training and Reflections Coordinators complete advanced coursework from the National Council of Certified Dementia Specialists.
Along with our on-going support for residents’ families and personalized senior care plans, under MorningStar at Mountain Shadows’ Lavender Sky we provide:
Aromatherapy and holistic modalities
Culinary excellence; BrainWise foods
Signature hydration program
Purposeful life skill opportunities
The Reflections Neighborhood has 19 suites and is designed from the ground up to accommodate our residents’ every need. While a secure area, independence is encouraged and supported through clear wayfinding, and safe and inviting common areas, both inside and out. Having a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia is difficult, and we want you to know we are here to help.
MorningStar is guided by a culture rooted in our mission of honoring God, valuing seniors, and investing in our team, which allows us to deliver services with warmth, sincerity and depth of purpose. We have built a reputation for creating homes filled with an atmosphere of love and community. Please contact us to learn more about the finest assisted living and memory care in Colorado Springs.
