MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Mountain Shadows takes care of seniors who need help with daily living or memory support. The community has both assisted living and memory care, so residents with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia have a secure place called the Reflections Neighborhood, which offers 19 studios with special safety features, kitchenettes, cabinets, full-size fridges, and showers. The friendly staff, known for being helpful and genuine, stays on-site around the clock to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other needs. There are also custom care plans for people at different stages of Alzheimer's and dementia, and staff works hard so everyone can keep as much independence as possible.
For assisted living, there are 45 suites with different layouts, from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments, and you can choose between private or shared rooms. The environment is built for comfort, safety, and easy access for older adults, with amenities like pet-friendly policies, handicap accessibility, Wi-Fi, a chapel, a library, and a great room for socializing. Residents can spend time in the bistro, try a variety of meals all day from an à la carte menu, or have meals tailored for special dietary needs such as low sodium, gluten-free, or vegetarian options. There's also a full bar, so meals can be paired with drinks if wanted.
Social life gets lots of attention, with activities like games, fitness classes, arts and crafts, and both on-site and off-site events to keep everyone engaged. People can use the wellness and fitness programs, which include therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy available right there. Memory care residents can take part in brain-stimulating activities, and all residents can join entertainment, educational, and spiritual activities both in the chapel and offsite. Security features like secured areas and outdoor courtyards give families peace of mind. The community checks its licensing twice a year for safety and quality too. MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, which is a part of MorningStar Senior Living, has received awards for its meals, activities, and friendly staff and puts focus on supporting a high quality of life with the right mix of care, comfort, and connection for seniors.
