As dementia care specialists, we understand the essence of the person remains regardless of the extent of the memory loss and use a variety of methods to enter, embrace and explore the path alongside our beloved residents. 

When you visit MorningStar at Bear Creek either in person or virtually, you will see the attractive, expansive setting residents reside in. Impressive as they are, the thing we are most proud of is our dedicated team who feel privileged to serve. It is not just by chance that our home is staffed by extraordinary individuals but rather guided by our stringent hiring practices. Employees join our team based on virtues such as character, kindness and selflessness, which we recognize are just as important as experience and education. 

Additionally, we invest generously in our staff with mentoring and meaningful training along with more tangible benefits such as competitive wages and comprehensive benefits.  We are proud to be designated as one of the “Recognized Leaders in Dementia Care” by the Alzheimer’s Association, awarded only to those communities where at least 75% of the entire staff have undergone special and extensive training approved by the Association.  The eight-hour training includes brain pathology, communication techniques, and methods of lessening agitation with non-pharmaceuticals.
