MorningStar at Bear Creek Offers Experienced Memory Care

Getting a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia is difficult for the person and their family. All of one’s carefully laid plans are cast aside as their future takes a much different path. MorningStar at Bear Creek wants families to know we are here to help.

We are a memory care in Colorado Springs, close to medical facilities, shopping, and other services. MorningStar has senior living communities across eleven states, where we have worked hard to become dementia

MorningStar’s extensive experience in alzheimer care has allowed us to gain a deep understanding of the disease, and we consider it our privilege to serve those with memory loss. We recognize that the person’s essence remains and we are committed to finding ways to connect with and nurture that essence.

We also consider residents’ family members to be part of our MorningStar family as we walk alongside the memory-impaired on this unexpected journey. Our unique approach to care is called Lavender Sky, which is how we thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore the entirely different and isolating world of memory loss.

Before the resident joins our community, we take the time to get to know them through interviews with their family members to learn about their history, vocation, talents and preferences. We then use this knowledge to help us design an individualized care plan that takes all of this into consideration.

Every aspect of our care is designed to address the needs of our residents including 24/7 compassionate Care Managers, wellness programs and activities that will stimulate and calm as needed. In addition, our services include daily health monitoring, assistance with meals prepared by our Executive Chef, scheduled outings and special events.

Our suites accommodate a resident’s own furniture and mementos so they are sure to feel right at home. For residents’ safety, suites are equipped with handicapped-accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems. We also offer SafelyYou technology, which can detect and prevent falls for residents with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Please contact us or visit our website to learn more.

MorningStar is guided by a culture rooted in our mission of honoring God, valuing seniors, and investing in our team, which allows us to deliver services with warmth, sincerity and depth of purpose. We have built a reputation for creating homes filled with an atmosphere of love and community. Contact us for more information about the finest memory care facility in Colorado Springs.

Are You Ready for a Parent’s Unexpected Hospital Stay?

While many hospital stays are planned, older adults are more likely to require an unexpected trip to the hospital. When you have the luxury of time, it is easy to get prepared with the necessary information a parent needs when admitted to the hospital. It can be a different story if the trip is sudden. Medical experts say to ensure a loved one gets the proper care, it is important to see to it that the hospital has a complete medical history. Notes and documents can be completed and gathered now then updated as health changes occur. For starters, the hospital will want a “next of kin” contact for the patient so decide beforehand who that will be.
