A Company Built on “Casting a New Light” on Senior Living

 


Since our company was founded in 2003, we have believed it is a privilege to “cast a new light” on senior living guided by the following precepts: to honor God in our business practices and relationships; value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals; and invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well. In addition we firmly believe the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless. 

Now offering independent living in Hillsboro, the new MorningStar of Hillsboro is designed to provide active seniors with a carefree lifestyle, as we handle the maintenance, landscaping, and housekeeping. This leaves you free to pursue your interest, explore new hobbies, travel and meet new friends. As our contemporary-styled building is both a gracious home and high-end resort, we offer a range of amenities, concierge services and wellness programs to promote a healthy and engaged lifestyle. 

We are situated in the highly sought-after neighborhood of AmberGlen and close to the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, the shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues of Tanasbourne Town Center and several area parks. To continue your adventure, Portland is 25 minutes to the east, and the serene beauty of the Tualatin Hills Nature Park and Tualatin Hills Nature Center are close by. Another interesting attraction is the Five Oaks Museum (formerly known as the Washington County Museum). One of the oldest historical institutions in Washington County, it is filled with modern artwork & historical exhibits showcasing the region's diverse cultures and land.  

With 141 fashionable apartments and graciously-appointed common areas both inside and out, we offer all the comforts of home. MorningStar takes tremendous pride in the reputation we have built for excellence–and for authenticity–in why we serve and how we serve.

How Many Steps Per Day for Better Health?

  We have all heard about the value of walking 10,000 steps a day but recent studies show it may not actually be the magic number. One study published by JAMA found walking 7,000 steps or more a day may decrease the risk for mortality and offer better overall health. In the cohort study of 2110 adults with a mean follow-up of 10.8 years, participants who walked at least 7000 steps a day, compared with those taking fewer than 7000 steps, had a 50% to 70% lower risk of mortality. Researchers also noted, “There was no association of step intensity with mortality regardless of adjustment for step volume.” A 2020 study found a decreased risk for mortality in participants who took 8,000 steps a day than those who only took 4,000 steps a day. In the same year, another study found more steps taken each day were linked to lower rates of diabetes. Researchers say the bottom line is evidence points to the importance of increased physical activity. Before you begin walking, talk to your health...

When you throw away or donate stuff cluttering up your home, it gives room for the things you really like. Less stuff lightens your load and helps you get into the habit of not buying things you don’t need. Not only does this mindset save money, but Fields Millburn explains, "Understanding the why behind simplifying gives us the leverage we need to begin to let go and helps us understand what is excess.” Th...
