MorningStar at Bear Creek Offers Loving, Compassionate Dementia Care


At MorningStar at Bear Creek, we understand a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another dementia-related disease is devastating and we want families to know we are here to help. Our community in Colorado Springs offers loving, compassionate assisted living dementia care to those in the early stage of the disease right through to the most advanced stages. The MorningStar Senior Living company brings 20 years of experience to dementia care in senior communities across eleven states.

MorningStar’s holistic approach to dementia care incorporates some of the most respected research-based care programs available. We are different from other communities in that every aspect of our community is designed from the ground up to accommodate residents. Our building is built on a figure-eight plan that lets residents freely move about while ensuring they always find their way back to an inviting common area.

Through the rigors of MorningStar’s Lavender Sky training, our staff truly understands Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-loss conditions; and after a family decides to place a loved one in our care, we get to work. This starts by learning as much as we can about the person’s background, talents and personal preferences through a tool called “To Know Me is To Love Me.” Using this information, we create a specialized, individualized care plan that helps to calm or stimulate as a particular situation needs.

Meals are attractively served, and tasty as well as nutritional. Many foods are easily eaten with fingers to accommodate those who may have trouble using a fork and knife. In addition, our wellness programs and activities keep residents purposefully engaged and leverage the power of music, dance, art, aromatherapy and animals to heal and comfort, as we focus on residents’ unique needs. Please contact us or visit our website for more information about trusted dementia care in Colorado Springs.

MorningStar has considered it a privilege and responsibility to “cast a new light” on senior living, inspired and empowered by our unique mission: to honor, to value, to invest. Our passionate commitment to serving seniors has proudly earned us a reputation for family satisfaction second to none. Contact us for more information about the finest assisted living dementia care in Colorado Springs.

MorningStar Senior Living of Billings Offers Carefree Retirement Years

At MorningStar of Billings, we want you to know independent living means much more than simply a change in your housing. We think of it as a chance to begin new adventures, meet a broader community of like-minded individuals, and to get down to the business of really enjoying your precious retirement years. Our 32 cottages and 72 suites for independent living feature 9-foot ceilings, kitchen with full appliances and patio or balcony. In addition, cottages have a fireplace and garage.   And in case you were wondering, MorningStar is pet friendly.

Our community specializes in offering a full range of hospitality services that free you from the drudgery of daily chores and obligations. We provide housekeeping services and take care of maintenance, inside and out.  In addition, residents will enjoy chef-inspired, all-day dining and enrichment activities to engage the mind, body, spirit and social connections. Imagine all the time you will have in a maintenance-free environment to pursue your own interests. Maybe it is time to improve your golf game, start or renew a hobby, or volunteer in your community. 

Along with beautifully landscaped grounds, we have relaxing courtyards and strolling paths. A fitness room and exercise classes make it easy to get in your workout, and our full-service salon is convenient for pampering yourself. A group activity in the life enrichment room is a lovely way to spend an afternoon, and our bistro is a wonderful place to gather with friends. We have an onsite theater for fun movie nights as well as a private dining room for intimate dinners.  

Unlike many other senior communities in the area, MorningStar of Billings also provides assisted living and memory care so if your needs change, we are here to help.  While you will find our website highlights pictures of our beautiful community, it does not show the warm atmosphere that permeates throughout our home.   We attribute this to our exceptional team that feels honored to serve seniors, and works hard every day to provide residents a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community. Please contact us or visit our website to learn more. 


MorningStar takes tremendous pride in the reputation we have earned for excellence and authenticity since our inception in 2003.  We believe the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless; and we act upon that truth daily, as we care for, inspire, and love the residents under our roof.

Learn More About the MorningStar Foundation

MorningStar of Fort Collins is part of the MorningStar Senior Living Company, whose mission is to “cast a new light on senior living.” We start by creating a true home for the residents in our communities, made possible by a dedicated team who understands the highest expression of living is to share their gifts and talents, time and energy with others. 

The scope of our Vision to love and honor also includes impacting the world for good through the MorningStar Foundation, and offering support to philanthropic initiatives within our local neighborhoods and around the world. One such project is our support to the people of Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua. We serve not only the children of the Casa BernabĂ© orphanage but holistically serve the impoverished area. We also are proud to support Lifewater, whose Healthy Village strategy focuses not just on their delivery of a safe water point, but on the villagers’ monitored adoption of hygiene habits in each and every home.

Closer to home, MorningStar’s senior living communities are great supporters of the Alzheimer’s Association. We participate in events throughout the year including the “Longest Day Celebration” (summer solstice), which will be on June 21st this year. Our uplifting celebrations include hosting fundraisers of every sort, balloon releases, games, food and more. Additionally, our communities participate in the “Walk to End Alzheimer's,” either by walking, sponsoring or hosting other creative ways to raise funds. Other efforts include doing our share by volunteering with local nonprofits to help where there is a need. 

MorningStar of Fort Collins’ goal is to be one of the best senior communities in the area, and we are committed to the comfort, wellbeing, and safety of our remarkable residents.  Located on the southeast side of the city, we are convenient to medical facilities, shopping, and other services.  Our community offers 55 stylish assisted living suites and 24 suites devoted to the individualized care of those with memory impairment.  We also offer short-term stays to see if we are a good fit as well as respite care. Please contact us for availability and pricing. 

MorningStar of Fort Collins’ mission statement of “to honor, to value, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living communities. We have built a foundation on honoring God, valuing our seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve. Set in a warm, loving atmosphere with beautiful surroundings and resort-style amenities, we provide outstanding assisted living and memory care.
