MorningStar Senior Living of Hillsboro

MorningStar Senior Living of Hillsboro sits in the AmberGlen area of Hillsboro, Oregon, right on NE Amberglen Parkway, and you'll find it's close to Hwy 26, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Tanasbourne Town Center, and parks like Orchard Park and AmberGlen Park North, so getting around or finding something to do outside the facility is easy, plus you get some beautiful views, including of Mt. Hood on a clear day, which really makes for a nice setting. The community's got 141 modern, independent living apartments, all built with full kitchens, in-unit laundry, and some smart home features, and there's room for folks who're independent, plus those who need help with daily living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and even skilled nursing for higher care. The building's designed with resort-style amenities like a heated indoor saltwater pool, an outdoor courtyard with a fire pit, raised garden beds, and grills, so people can spend time inside or out, and most of the time, you see neighbors chatting or sharing stories over a meal or out in the courtyard, which makes it feel friendly. Gourmet meals come prepared by chefs who serve three times a day, using local, quality foods, and dining happens in restaurants, a bistro, or even outside, which means food is both nutritious and social, and happy hours, art classes, and walking clubs help everyone stay active and connected, while there's also water aerobics, community events, and volunteering with groups such as the Oregon Food Bank. Folks who need help with bathing, dressing, or medications find staff ready to help, but there's a focus on letting people do for themselves when they can, which fits the community's idea of independence and respect. The staff keeps it friendly and welcoming, and you'll notice the emphasis on compassion, honesty, kindness, and love, which the management says comes straight from their core values and founding vision. The place is tied to the Oregon Health Care Association and goes through regular licensing reviews, so families know there's oversight. They offer resident bill pay anytime, Wi-Fi, transportation options, and there's floor plans to see, plus tours and lots of photo or video examples for those thinking about moving in. Activities and meals encourage everyone to join in, meet new friends, and enjoy social time, and the facility's gotten good feedback from residents and families for care and support at all levels, so it balances private living with social connection in a setting focused on serving with grace and purpose.
