MorningStar Arcadia offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, accepting residents who present with advanced dementia as well as complex medical needs. Care teams are trained to work with individuals who wander day or night, are at risk of elopement, display behavioral issues, require wound care, use oxygen, or need specialized diets. Diabetic management ranges from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin, and the staff can coordinate full-assistance bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when these tasks can no longer be completed independently. Transfer support spans the spectrum—from standby help for walkers and wheelchairs to two-person assists, Hoyer lifts, and services for those who are bed-bound—allowing residents to remain in place as conditions evolve.

Clinical safeguards include an RN or LPN on staff, background-checked caregivers, and an awake night shift. Door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, pull-cord alerts, and wearable PERS units further reduce risks for wandering or falls. An activity director structures cognitive and social programming, while onsite podiatry and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses expand the medical scope available without leaving the community.

Apartments may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable access. Some suites allow personal paint colors and décor, and housekeeping is provided. Laundry can be handled in-unit where machines are installed, or through the scheduled community service; availability of these options varies by apartment type, so prospective residents should verify specific features during a tour.

Dining is built around both a daily set menu and an on-order system, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team works closely with nursing staff to manage therapeutic diets, including low-sodium, renal, gluten-free, and diabetic meal plans. Independent-living residents on campus can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan to supplement their own cooking.

Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation with proximity to public transit. The community also offers a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, internet access, communal gardens, and onsite religious services. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
