MorningStar of Littleton offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on one campus even as needs change. The community accepts individuals who wander day or night, present elopement risk, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake overnight, require oxygen, follow special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication or injections, or are younger than 60. Advanced dementia conditions are supported, and individualized care plans are adjusted as cognition or physical status changes.
Clinical oversight includes an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees complete background checks, and an awake night staff monitors secure, alarmed doors and a fenced courtyard. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect residents directly to caregivers. On-site providers visit regularly for podiatry, audiology, dental care, and psychiatric evaluations, and a dedicated therapy room supports rehabilitation programs. Caregivers deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can accommodate mobility needs ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers.
Accommodations vary from studios to one-bedrooms; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard, but not every unit contains every listed feature, so touring families should confirm details.
Dining offers both a set menu and on-order choices, with snacks available throughout the day, a private dining room for family visits, and diet-specific modifications such as low-sugar, low-salt, or texture-modified meals prepared under clinical guidance.
Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber/beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens with resident gardening beds, on-site religious services, a concierge desk, library, and special-interest clubs. Transportation options cover scheduled shuttle service for medical appointments, local to-town trips, proximity to public transit, and house car service. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
