MorningStar at Mountain Shadows Offers Specialized Memory Care

Along with assisted living, MorningStar at Mountain Shadows offers individualized, specialized care to those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases.  Our holistic approach to memory care includes finding ways to connect with and nurture the essence of the individual, and to celebrate and elevate life.

Our Reflections Neighborhood is specifically designed to meet the needs of residents throughout the various stages of the disease.  The area houses 19 suites and is intended to encourage residents to safely explore their surroundings with clear wayfinding and inviting common areas.  Memory care residents also enjoy the outdoors in the secure courtyard.

Mealtimes in the Reflections Neighborhood are as much about Community as they are about Nutrition, with residents and team members eating together.  Family style meals allow team members to encourage residents’ appetites as well as to provide any needed assistance with eating. In addition, much of our food is modified out of respect for those with compromised eating abilities and includes finger foods, texture-modified diets and easy-to-recognize balanced meals that taste as good as they look.   

Before a senior joins our community, we meet with them and their family to learn as much as we can about the person’s background, talents and preferences.  We then use this knowledge to help us design an individualized care plan that takes all of this into consideration.   Our specialized care also incorporates Montessori-based therapies and residents participate in a variety of wellness programs and activities including exercise, music, dance, art and special events.

Another thing that makes MorningStar at Mountain Shadows a special place for memory care is our loving, compassionate team who feels privileged to serve and is made up of men and women who willingly go the extra mile to meet the needs of our residents.  Please visit our website for more information about MorningStar’s memory care or assisted living facilities in Colorado Springs.
