MorningStar at Bear Creek Offers Care to Those With Memory Impairment


At MorningStar at Bear Creek our entire community is devoted to assisted living dementia care. We offer 48 suites for the personalized care of those with memory impairment from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia and can accommodate those in the onset of the disease right through to the more advanced stages.

Our approach to memory care is designed around our comprehensive program we call “Lavender Sky.” Our reimagined philosophy encourages us to walk alongside a resident as we thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore the world of dementia. With insight and intentionality, we enter into our memory-impaired residents’ “purple world” to cross over the physical and emotional boundaries that would otherwise separate us.

We have a deep understanding of the different forms of dementia including Alzheimer’s disease that helps us to compassionately care for our memory impaired residents and to find the best ways to interact and communicate with them. MorningStar’s specially trained staff uses an array of multi-sensory activities including art, dance, music, aromatherapy, life skills, exercise and animals to heal and comfort.

Furthermore, we take the time to get to know a resident through interviews with their family members to learn about their history, vocation, talents and preferences. We then use this knowledge to help us design an individualized care plan for the person.

In addition, we provide daily health monitoring, assistance with meals prepared by our Executive Chef, scheduled outings and special events. Residents also enjoy getting outdoors with secure courtyards, patios, resident garden beds and strolling paths wrapping 75% of the building. Other amenities include a bistro, spacious gathering spaces, salon and fitness/therapy room.

Our suites are available in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans. Suites are equipped with emergency call systems and handicap-accessible bathrooms and include housekeeping and laundry service. All that is needed is a resident’s own furniture and mementos so they will feel right at home. Please contact us or visit our website to learn more.

MorningStar at Bear Creek brings a unique vision to senior living with our mission statement “to honor, to value, to invest.” With a foundation built on honoring God, valuing seniors and investing in a staff with a felt calling to serve, we offer loving, compassionate assisted living dementia care within a beautiful home-like setting.
