MorningStar of Boulder offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain within the community even as needs increase. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed for people with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions, and staff are trained to manage wandering—day or night—elopement risk, behavioral issues, and periods of agitation or combativeness. Clinical support is also available for residents who require wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetic management with oral medications. Adults younger than 60 who need this level of care can be considered for admission.

A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day for emergencies. Caregivers work awake overnight shifts, and all employees undergo background checks. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, pull-cord alert system, and optional personal emergency response pendants that notify staff. On-site professionals provide podiatry, dental services, therapy sessions, mental-health consultations through Amavi, and hospice coordination when needed. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, as well as some help with eating. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one-person assistance for walkers or wheelchairs.

Apartments are available with various layouts that may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable service, and the freedom to paint or decorate. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to confirm specific details during a tour.

Meals are prepared daily with both set menus and made-to-order options, and snacks are available between meals. The culinary team accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications to support residents who need low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, or other specialized meal plans.

Residents have access to on-site parking, a wheelchair-accessible environment, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet, communal gardens, regular religious services, concierge support, and scheduled transportation along with proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
