MorningStar Senior Living at Silver Lake sits in Lake Stickney, WA, and offers assisted living and memory care, but you'll also find independent living and skilled nursing all under one roof, so residents can move to different care levels as needs change without leaving the community, and they've made a point to support active seniors aged 55 years and older who want a mix of privacy and social connection in their later years. The campus stays open 24 hours a day and has 148 apartments, with options for studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts, and space for up to 80 residents needing licensed care. There's a special focus on engaging activities every day-like themed events, live entertainment, and wellness programs covering physical, mental, social, and even spiritual health-so if you like variety, you might join a yoga session, play billiards, work in the raised garden beds or sit with neighbors in the on-site Bistro or soda shoppe where people seem to gather for casual talks and treats.
Friendly and helpful staff assist with daily tasks, and there are thoughtful touches for both safety and comfort, like handicap-accessible features, visiting doctors, and on-site clinical support, which help make things easier when health needs change or extra care is needed, and there's a Home Care service for companionship and non-medical help if someone isn't quite ready for residential care. They allow pets, so folks can walk dogs along the scenic paths or relax in the garden patio area. Housekeeping and maintenance staff take care of chores, and chef-prepared meals get served in well-lit dining rooms to add a bit of variety to the day, while Wi-Fi and high-speed internet help residents stay connected or entertained if they want downtime.
The Memory Care area includes specialized programs for those living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and for families or caregivers, the staff shares resources and honest advice about planning for senior care, with help for when it's time to look at different living options or get guidance on moves and care decisions. The facility has a 4.3-star rating from 27 reviews, which is a fair sign that people appreciate the commitment to a clean, warm environment and a calendar full of life-enriching choices. You can try short trial stays or respite care if you're curious, and tours-both in person and online-show what daily life looks like in this community that aims to give residents both independence and help as they need it. Ashley Stark, the current Executive Director, leads a staff trained under the Assisted Living Care Academy, and if you want more information or want to look at photos and details of their apartments and programs, you can learn more at their website.
