MorningStar Senior Living at Silver Lake provides both Independent Living and Assisted Living, allowing residents to move between service levels as needs change. The community can accommodate a range of medical requirements, including support for residents who are up all night, wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetes management whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Mild dementia conditions are also accepted.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, and a nurse is on call around the clock. The building maintains 24-hour staffing and security, a fenced rear area, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems to help ensure prompt assistance. On-site services span speech, occupational, and physical therapy as well as podiatry, hospice, ambulatory care, and comprehensive medication management. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and some help with eating, while supporting walker users, wheelchair users, residents needing standby supervision, or a one-person transfer.
Apartments feature practical touches such as kitchenettes, cable access, and regular housekeeping, and residents may paint or decorate their space to make it their own; however, not every unit includes every feature, so it is best to verify availability. Dining is flexible, with meals prepared to order, snacks offered throughout the day, options for private dining with family, and diet modifications overseen for medical or personal reasons.
Residents have access to parking, exterior smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet throughout the building, a library, and scheduled religious services. Special-interest clubs and a transportation program help residents remain active, and the location is close to public transit for additional convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
