Along with independent and assisted living, Pasadena, CA’s MorningStar community offers holistic care to those with memory impairment and provides all the amenities and services needed for the best life possible. Our distinct Reflections Neighborhood is designed to accommodate our residents’ every need. While a secure area, independence is encouraged and supported through clear wayfinding, and safe and inviting common areas, both inside and out.

When a family comes to MorningStar of Pasadena looking for care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, our experienced team is ready to help. Even before we welcome a new resident to our loving community, we take the time to meet with them and their family to learn as much as we can about the person including their medical history, background, talents, and personal preferences. We then use this information to create an individualized care plan that is used to stimulate or calm a resident in response to a particular mood or situation.

Our approach to memory care is encompassed under the expanse of possibilities we call Lavender Sky, and is how we thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore the entirely different and isolating world of dementia. The comprehensive program allows us to introduce a more insightful and intentional way to support the memory-impaired and their families. Moreover, as it guides every aspect of our dementia care, all team members attend eight hours of interactive Lavender Sky training to help give them a better understanding of the disease.

MorningStar of Pasadena’s 28 memory care suites are available in a choice of floor plans; and our home is equipped to care for residents from the onset of the disease to the most advanced stages. Having a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia is difficult, and we want you to know we are here to help.
