Independent and Assisted Living at MorningStar of Pasadena

Many seniors and their families are confused as to what exactly assisted living offers and how it differs from independent living. At MorningStar of Pasadena, we explain our senior living supports residents as they age with freedom and choices, resort-style amenities and best-in-class dining and hospitality. Spacious suites come in a variety of well-designed floor plans and configurations that are sure to meet your needs. Wellness programs and activities help keep residents socially engaged and offer opportunities for personal growth.

MorningStar of Pasadena has undergone recent renovations and offers beautiful common areas both inside and out. Amenities include all-day dining, fitness center, bistro, community kitchens, club rooms, community store, billiards room and lovely courtyard with strolling paths. For your safety, our entire community is designed to facilitate safe mobility with wide doorways and halls as well as suites equipped with handicap-accessible bathrooms and grab bars, and 24/7 emergency call systems.

Independent living is designed specifically for seniors who want to and can live without any assistance. If you move into our community as an independent living resident, you will enjoy predicable budgeting, concierge services and community of friends. Suites have high-end finishes and a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave to prepare the meals you want to eat on your own. Weekly housekeeping gives you the time to pursue your interests. All that’s missing are your personal furnishings and treasures—even the furry kind (yes, we’re pet friendly).

For our assisted living residents, we work hard to ensure you get the personalized services needed to help maintain your independence. After the decision to move to Morningstar, assisted living residents meet with our Wellness Director to assess their current health, review medical history and learn about their preferences. From there we create a Personalized Service Plan based on five levels of care. Various auxiliary services, both medical and non-medical, are priced a la carte.

Our trusted independent living and assisted living in Pasadena, CA provides seniors a refreshing, maintenance-free lifestyle.

The condition called Labyrinthitis generally is a result of other issues such as head injuries, viral or bacterial infections, and circulatory system conditions like strokes or low blood pressure. The National Institute on Aging says families and caregivers should be on the lookout for an older ...
