Dining at MorningStar Provides Nutrition and Community

At MorningStar at Bear Creek, we feel privileged to provide compassionate, loving assisted living dementia care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other memory impairment.  As dementia care experts, every aspect of our community including our dining service is tailored to our special residents.  Mealtimes at Bear Creek are as much about community as they are about the delicious food we serve at each meal, with residents and team members eating together (of course family members are also welcome to join us anytime).   

Family style meals allow team members to encourage residents’ appetites as well as to provide any needed assistance with eating.  Many of our meals include offering dishes from serving bowls and platters as a way to help residents connect to memories of family meals they have eaten or prepared throughout their lives.  In addition, out of respect for some of our residents’ compromised abilities at the table, food is geared toward their needs.  Our nutritionally-balanced meals look as good as they taste and include easy-to-eat finger foods as well as texture-modified pureed meat and vegetables. 

All of these dishes are prepared with finesse, and many visitors are surprised to discover how good they taste and how elegant they look.  At MorningStar at Bear Creek, we strongly believe food is a healing medicine unlike any other and is also one of the great joys of living, especially when enjoyed in community. 

We invite you to visit our website to learn more about our holistic approach to memory care.  Our community offers 48 suites in an array of configurations including spacious studios, and one and two-bedroom suites.  We also provide all of the amenities and services needed to ensure the comfort, safety and wellbeing of our residents.    

MorningStar at Bear Creek brings a unique vision to senior living with our mission statement “to honor, to serve, to invest.” Our foundation is built on honoring God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve. We are dedicated to creating a true home for residents within an ideal setting and invite you to schedule a tour to see the best assisted living dementia care in Colorado Springs.
