Learn More About MorningStar and Our Houston Community


MorningStar at River Oaks is a part of the MorningStar Senior Living Company whose vision is “to be a company of servant-minded, purpose-driven leaders in our senior communities and throughout the world.” This means right from the start we have made a point to staff our loving home with a team who feel it is a privilege to serve and understand that seniors deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

In addition, we support MorningStar’s mission of serving others here at home and throughout the world including supporting the Alzheimer’s Association and the Casa Bernabé orphanage in Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua. We also support MorningStar’s partnership with “Lifewater,” a non-profit organization that focuses on delivering safe water sources to villages across the globe.

MorningStar at River Oaks is also guided by our company’s principles that include:
  • Honoring God in our business practices and relationships
  • Valuing all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals
  • Investing generously in our team’s ability to serve well
Thus our home’s first priority is to create a comfortable, compassionate home while striving to meet residents’ social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. Also, while our company was founded on a Judeo-Christian tradition, we honor all faith systems and worldviews, and understand it is our responsibility to honor spiritual preferences as part of caring for the whole person.

MorningStar at River Oaks has 85 stylish assisted living suites as well as 27 suites in our Reflections Neighborhood devoted to the care of those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases.
