Independent Living at MorningStar of Pasadena


Statistics show approximately one million Americans reside in some type of senior living community, and by 2030, the number is expected to double. At the same time, the number of seniors 85 and older is projected to triple from 5.7 million in 2011 to 14.1 million in 2040. Within the category of senior living, there are several options available for older adults including independent living, which is specifically designed for active adults 55+.

The reason so many seniors are turning to independent living is they love the many advantages it offers. Residents like the idea of predictable budgeting and freedom from costly, unexpected home repairs and on-going maintenance. Another important perk of independent living communities is built-in companionship, and in many cases, activities and programming, and tasty meals they no longer must cook.

Senior living communities like MorningStar of Pasadena allow seniors to extend their independence and continue the adventure. We are located in the commercial and cultural heart of the San Gabriel Valley and close to shopping, medical facilities, and other services. Pasadena is also home to renowned museums and parks as well as the Rose Parade.

With 149 stylish suites, MorningStar of Pasadena provides seniors with carefree, comfortable retirement years. Several floor plans are available including studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations. Each apartment has high-end finishes, window blinds and a kitchenette, and some have balconies. In addition, our community has warm and inviting common areas where residents can comfortably gather and enjoy the day. We are currently finishing a major renovation of our dining room, bistro, game lounge, movie theater, salon, sky terrace, fitness center, art studio, and more.

As an independent living resident, you will also get peace of mind knowing that if you find yourself in a position where you need care with the tasks of daily living, our community offers an assisted living option. For exceptional independent or assisted living, Pasadena, CA seniors are encouraged to consider MorningStar.

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...

Benefits for Assisted Living Available to Eligible Veterans or Surviving Spouse

Residents of the MorningStar Senior Living communities include veterans from all branches of the military and we are honored to serve them. As a MorningStar team member eloquently said, “Seniors speak powerfully to the fact that freedom comes at a cost. It requires that you choose to do the right thing which almost always includes sacrifice.

Aid & Attendance benefits are a tax-free pension paid directly to a qualified veteran or their spouse in the form of monthly payments, which is subject to change annuall...
