To accomplish this lofty goal, our approach considers every aspect of senior living from the design of our beautiful community to a broad range of care services, amenities, and wellness programs. In fact, Ken Jaeger, MorningStar Senior Living’s Founder, had specific ideas on how to foster the ultimate environment for the wellbeing of seniors and it is the guiding spirit in which our community operates.

Add to that, our dedicated team members who are the heartbeat of our community and the kind of people who come to work each day with a smile on their face. They understand it is a privilege to serve and many come to know and treat our residents as they do their own moms and dads. As a true home, we consider our residents, their families and team members to be part of the MorningStar at River Oaks family.

MorningStar of River Oaks offers 85 private assisted living suites and 27 secure suites devoted to caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases.

Each suite has high end finishes, handicapped-accessible bathroom, emergency call system and includes weekly housekeeping as well as laundry and linen service. And yes, we welcome your pet.

Our assisted living offers five levels of care. Your level of care will be determined after a thorough assessment with our Wellness Director and in agreement with you and your extended family. Also, regardless of your level of care, we provide all residents with around-the-clock Care Managers to meet your needs and ensure your comfort and safety.

As a resident of MorningStar, you will get three daily meals designed by our Executive Chef and prepared largely from scratch. Each meal is nutritious as well as delicious and recipes are modified to address several different dietary restrictions including low sodium or low fat, sugar-free, no sugar, and vegetarian options. In addition, residents will have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities and programs that are designed to promote physical, intellectual and spiritual wellness.

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...

Be an Active Partner in Your Medical Care

Experts suggest that a good way to reduce medical errors regarding your care or that of a loved one is to be an active partner in the process whether in a hospital setting, doctors’ office or the pharmacy. In fact, a study showed 7% of hospitalized patients experienced an event that was considered preventable which negatively affected their health. Furthermore, harmful errors in primary and outpatient health care settings are typically related to diagnoses, prescriptions and use of medicines. Mistakes associated with misdiagnosis result in delayed treatment for the real problem and having the wrong medications prescribed or supplied can cause serious complications. However, it is important to keep in mind that some medical errors are a result of patients failing to disclose all the medications they take including prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Another problem is the failure to reveal pertinent details regarding a person’s prior medical history as well as lifestyle habits s...
