MorningStar Senior Living of Hayward offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with a care model that emphasizes direct access to medical services. Residents who need support managing diabetes, mental health concerns, or routine visits with a physician can receive that help on-site. The community is equipped to support mild dementia conditions through a memory-focused program that incorporates spaces specifically designed to accommodate memory loss. In addition to standard residential services, licensed nurses are available 12–16 hours each day to oversee medication management, ambulatory care, incontinence care, hospice coordination, and rehabilitation therapies delivered by physical, occupational and podiatry specialists.

Around-the-clock safety is maintained by a 24-hour nurse on call, pull-cord and PERS alert systems, and an Activity Director who coordinates daily engagement while monitoring resident well-being. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they can manage transfers that require a walker, wheelchair, or one-person lift. Memory care is housed in a secured area set up exclusively for residents with cognitive change, and services are adjusted to each individual’s clinical profile.

Accommodations range from studio layouts with kitchenettes to larger apartments, and each residence is wired for cable, Wi-Fi and phone service. Some apartments include direct access to landscaped outdoor areas, while others are closer to the library and computer lounge. Resident parking is available, and cats are permitted in designated units. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so it is best to verify specific details when touring.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served three times daily with snacks available. Entrées rotate regularly and vegetarian selections are offered at each meal. Residents who require modified textures or specialized diets due to medical conditions can have those needs addressed through the community’s nutrition services.

Daily life is rounded out by an on-site activity center, scheduled social outings, and organized activities off-site for residents who enjoy exploring the wider Hayward area.
