MorningStar Memory Care at San Tomas is a dedicated memory-care community that serves residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, including advanced conditions. The team is prepared for wandering behaviors and elopement risk and can accommodate residents who need oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetic management by either oral medication or insulin injections. Caregivers provide continuous monitoring, and clinical protocols are in place to adjust care plans as conditions change.

Registered nurses are on site, with an RN or LPN available around the clock and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All staff members complete background checks, and an awake night shift ensures supervision throughout the night. Security measures include door alarms, a fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site audiology and dental services reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting receive hands-on help, and mobility support ranges from simple standby aid to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers. An activity director coordinates daily engagement tailored to each resident’s abilities.

The community offers a selection of suites; some include private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, and cable access, while others provide shared amenities. Routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included, keeping living areas orderly and personal clothing clean.

Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet individual dietary requirements. The kitchen team provides diet modifications, mechanical-chopped textures, and puréed meals when needed, ensuring residents with chewing or swallowing challenges maintain nutritional intake.

Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, and internet access for residents who wish to stay connected online. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings.
