MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek is a dedicated memory-care community designed for residents with moderate dementia and related cognitive conditions. The program addresses safety concerns common to wandering and elopement by pairing secured entrances with a fenced rear perimeter and 24-hour security staffing. A nurse is on call around the clock, supported by licensed caregivers trained in dementia protocols. This combination allows the team to respond quickly to changes in condition, coordinate physician orders, and monitor medications for every resident receiving memory care.
Residents have access to on-site podiatry, audiology, and dental services, removing the need for many outside appointments. Caregivers provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can perform one-person transfers for those who use walkers or wheelchairs. All employees undergo background checks, and an activity director structures purposeful daily engagement. Night shifts are staffed, even when the building is asleep, so help remains available at any hour.
Private and semi-private suites are offered with options such as individual climate controls, basic cable, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes all of these features, so families are encouraged to verify specific room amenities during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily from either a set menu or an order-on-request option. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents who prefer solitude or need closer supervision may take meals in their rooms. A private dining room is reserved for family gatherings, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered diet modifications to support medical or therapeutic needs.
The campus is fully wheelchair accessible and includes a barber and beauty shop, movie room, library, and high-speed internet access for residents and guests. Landscaped communal gardens provide secure outdoor space, while on-site religious services and a concierge help streamline daily living. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings, allowing residents to maintain engagement beyond the property.
