MorningStar Assisted Living

While every senior living community is different, assisted living at MorningStar at Jordan Creek offers services and amenities that focus on important aspects of senior wellness. Foundational pillars such as physical health, mental stimulation, and a happy community are all held to high importance within our assisted living facilities. Arguably one of the most important things to consider when picking an assisted living facility is safety. Without a strong advocate for safety in assisted living, your health, intellectual growth, and close relationships are all at risk.

Falls are serious. Nearly three million elders go to the hospital each year because of fall injuries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls may lead to serious head or hip injuries. About 94% of hip fractures result from a fall, as stated by the CDC. In assisted living, it is important for senior living communities to pay special attention to reducing potential fall risks within their buildings and amenities.

MorningStar in Des Moines, IA defines assisted living residents as seniors who are generally active and who remain relatively independent with the exception of certain tasks. These seniors in assisted living don’t usually require intensive 24-hour medical care and supervision. However, MorningStar at Jordan Creek does offer care staff that is on call 24 hours a day in the case of an emergency.

MorningStar at Jordan Creek assesses possible fall risks in elders that consider assisted living before they move in and we continue to evaluate residents periodically throughout their stay as their health conditions and necessities may change. Once our staff understands a resident’s health and safety risk, we take steps to help keep our seniors safe in our assisted living care.
