MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Fountain Hills offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs designed for residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit exit-seeking or combative behaviors, live with advanced dementia, need wound care or oxygen therapy, or follow complex diabetic regimens—including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale monitoring. The community also admits adults under 60 and can coordinate care plans that require special diets or behavioral health oversight. A licensed nurse is on site around the clock, supported by additional RNs/LPNs and technicians who track vitals, administer medications, and communicate with physicians.
Safety and supervision are reinforced by awake night staff, door alarms, a fenced courtyard, WanderGuard technology, background-checked employees, and pull-cord call systems in each apartment. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting receive hands-on help, and the team can manage transfers ranging from simple standby support to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound individuals. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses after assessment by the nursing team and maintains an activity director to adapt programs to each care level.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include a private bath, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, in-unit laundry, cable, or furnished options, while others may share or omit certain features. Residents may repaint or decorate their space, and weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are standard.
Dining features a daily set menu plus an on-order option at each meal, with snacks available at any hour. Meals can be served in the restaurant-style dining room, delivered to the apartment, or reserved in a private dining room for family visits. Therapeutic diets such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid plans are prepared under the guidance of the clinical team. For independent-living residents, medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan can be added.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking areas, an exercise room, movie theater, library, barber/beauty shop, pool, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, on-site religious services, and internet access. Scheduled and on-demand transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
