A 5-Star Dining Service Designed to Please


A move to senior living can mean a lot of changes for a person. Our job at MorningStar at River Oaks is to make sure that experience is full of positive changes. One of the things we feel showcases our home is an outstanding food service, which is under the direction of our own Executive Chef. As a resident, you will be treated to a variety of seasonal menus featuring the freshest ingredients from high quality produce locally sourced whenever possible, or from our own resident-gardens.

You will also enjoy all-day, restaurant-style dining in our beautifully designed, relaxing dining room. For those times you wish to have an intimate dinner with friends or family, go ahead and reserve our private dining room. MorningStar’s flexible meal service even offers ready-to-go and finished-to-order meals for residents to take to their suites if they prefer a quiet meal alone.

Our chef is specifically trained in culinary skills and menu creations that appeal to seniors, and knows how to modify menus and recipes to accommodate food sensitivities and allergies as well as changing needs. A variety of nutritional choices allow residents to self-manage dietary habits and restrictions and include low sodium, gluten free, sugar free, no sugar added and low fat options. Moreover, as with all of our staff, our chef is taught the many soft skills of being a servant-leader as well as the value of building relationships with our residents and fellow team members.
 
MorningStar at River Oaks is licensed as a Type B community, and our qualified team members are available around the clock to assist residents with a variety of tasks to meet their individual needs. We will open to residents soon and are offering Move-in Specials. Along with providing the best assisted living in Houston, TX, we have individualized memory care, respite care, and trial stays from one week to a full month. Please contact us for further information.
