MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Mountain Shadows offers both Assisted Living and dedicated Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on the same campus even if their needs change. The community supports individuals who wander and those living with moderate dementia, and a nurse is on call around the clock to coordinate care plans and respond to health concerns. Residents also have access to visiting podiatry, audiology, and dental professionals, reducing the need for outside appointments and helping families feel confident about consistent medical oversight.
Safety and daily support measures are in place throughout the building. All team members undergo background checks, and an overnight shift remains on duty while security staff monitor the campus 24/7. A fenced rear area provides additional protection for residents who may try to leave the property unaccompanied. An activity director designs schedules that suit varying cognitive and physical abilities. Staff can help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when some physical assistance is necessary, and they are trained to manage transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, or simple standby supervision.
Apartments are designed for comfort and function, and selected units include independent temperature controls and in-room cable connections. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services lessen the burden of chores. Because floor plans and layouts differ, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should review specific room details during a tour.
Dining is structured yet flexible. Residents eat from a set menu three times daily, with snacks offered between meals. In-room dining is available for those recovering from illness or preferring privacy, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team can modify textures and manage specialized diets as ordered by healthcare providers.
The community rounds out daily life with a range of practical and leisure amenities. There is a movie room for group viewings, a wellness center for fitness and therapy exercises, and reliable internet access for staying connected. Residents can spend time in the communal gardens, browse the library, or take part in special interest clubs coordinated by staff. A concierge helps schedule appointments or arrange transportation, and the community vehicle is available for shopping, medical visits, and local events.
