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.

As We Age, Staying Fit is Important to Mobility and Independence

As we age, staying fit is important to both our mobility and our independence; and even if you haven’t spent your life as a serious fitness buff, experts say it doesn’t mean you can’t start now. However, it is important to check with your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise. The Harvard Medical School recommends several exercises that provide all-around conditioning and don’t require a gym membership. Any one of them can help keep your weight under control, improve balance and range of motion, strengthen bones, protect joints, prevent bladder control problems, and even ward off memory loss. Swimming is recommended for its low impact on the body as the water’s buoyancy supports the body and takes the strain off painful joints. Dr. I-Min Lee, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, explains, “Swimming is good for individuals with arthritis because it’s less weight bearing.” Researchers also report swimming can help improve our mental health. Water aerobics is a

Regular Physical Exercise is Good for Your Bones

Not only is physical exercise good for our heart and cognitive health but it can help older adults stay steady on their feet. Studies show regular physical activity can reduce the risk of falls in older adults at a high risk of falling by nearly one third. Experts explain certain kinds of exercise helps increase muscle mass and bone strength as well as improve balance and coordination, fight off osteoporosis, and reduce the risk for fractures and broken bones.

Resistance exercises also work against gravity and help build muscle mass and improve bone strength. Strength training with weights, wei

Keeping Seniors Safely Mobile

The Mayo Clinic reminds older adults it is important they take proper precautions to prevent falls. Medical conditions, the resulting medications needed, and a more sedentary lifestyle can result in weaker muscles and balance problems that can lead to a fall. Also please keep in mind, a fall for an older adult can cause injuries that are very serious such as a broken hip, head trauma, or in the most severe cases, death. However, the solution to preventing falls is not to stop moving. The medical experts at the Mayo Clinic explain being inactive is bad for our health regardless of how old we are and it is vital that we keep moving. To that end, they suggest a commonsense six-part plan to keep seniors safely mobile. Their first recommendation is to set up an appointment with your doctor. Bring to the visit a list of all your medications, and be prepared to discuss with your doctor any side effects of the drugs that may put you more at risk for a fall such as anti-depressants or
