Memory Care at Colorado Springs’ MorningStar at Bear Creek

While there is not a cure for Alzheimer’s and many other dementia-related diseases, it is important to provide the person with the proper level of care.   At MorningStar at Bear Creek, we provide compassionate memory care assisted living with all the amenities and services to ensure the comfort, safety and wellbeing of residents.  

As dementia care specialists, our approach and philosophy to memory care is encompassed under the expanse of possibilities we call “Lavender Sky.”  All team members, regardless of their position, receive Lavender Sky training, which includes a deeper understanding of the disease and communication techniques to use with memory-impaired residents.  It also includes training in environmental safety and security as well as holistic solutions to challenging behaviors.  

An important aspect of our program is to provide plenty of recreational activities such as singing and making music, dance, art, and fitness classes.  To ensure our residents’ safety and well-being, services include daily health monitoring and around-the-clock staffing as well as suites with handicap-accessible bathrooms and 24-hour emergency call systems.

Mealtimes at Bear Creek are as much about Community as they are about Nutrition, with residents and team members eating together.  Family style meals allow team members to encourage residents’ appetites as well as to provide any needed assistance with eating.  In addition, much of our food is modified out of respect for some of our residents’ compromised eating abilities and includes finger foods, texture-modified diets and easy-to-recognize balanced meals that taste as good as they look. 

We accept residents in the earliest stage of the disease right through to those in more advanced phases that require the highest level of care.  Furthermore, everything we do is in a loving environment that affirms the dignity and value of the individual.  Please contact us or visit our website to learn more about trusted memory care in Colorado Springs.

We have built a reputation for creating homes filled with an atmosphere of love and community. Please contact us for more information about the finest memory care assisted living in Colorado Springs.
