Rallying for the Alzheimer’s Association

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia-related disease; and more than 6 million Americans are living with the disease. In their 2022 report, the Association projected that Alzheimer's disease would cost the United States $321 billion in 2022 and to rise to nearly $1 trillion by 2050 (in 2022 dollars).

If you live in the Colorado Springs area and have a family member with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, we encourage you to learn more about MorningStar at Bear Creek. Our community is totally devoted to those with memory impairment and MorningStar brings 19 years of experience to memory care in senior communities across eleven states.  

We love the towns and cities where MorningStar communities are located in, and display our civic pride and honor God through servant-leadership by volunteering in local nonprofits. As our remarkable residents remind us that life’s deepest satisfaction is found when we give of ourselves in service to others, we rally behind organizations that serve seniors such as the Alzheimer’s Association. 

Each year, MorningStar communities host uplifting celebrations for “The Longest Day” on the summer solstice, which raises awareness and funds in support of the Alzheimer’s Association. In addition staff members, residents and families play a role in another Alzheimer’s Association’s event, “The Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” that takes place every fall. These are the world's largest fundraising events for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Visit their website for details; it’s not too early to get active and support the upcoming longest day celebration or join a walk, start one in your area or donate to a team.

MorningStar at Bear Creek’s holistic approach to memory care starts with creating a personalized service plan to address needs and provide a gentle flow of daily activities to calm or stimulate.
