Senior Living Communities Embracing a Culture of Love & Civility

Working in one of our assisted living jobs gives you the chance to join our loving, compassionate MorningStar “family.”  We seek individuals with a felt calling to serve, and who desire a career that allows them to grow professionally and personally.   

Our MorningStar Senior Living communities in and around the Denver area are beautiful residential homes offering independent living, assisted living and memory care.  With mission statements of:  honoring God in our business practices and relationships; valuing all seniors as gifted, contributing individuals; and investing generously in our team members’ ability to serve well, we take pride in creating a workplace where excellence can flourish.    

Along with supporting the essential work our team does in ensuring our residents’ wellbeing, we recognize that the way we conduct ourselves at our workplace also defines who we are.  This is why MorningStar asks our employees to take the time to be “radically relational and to build warm, genuine connection with each and all of those we serve.”   

As a way to create a culture of love, kindness, honesty, goodness, fairness and respect (our core values) and to cast a new light, we request our team members set an example of decency, good manners and polite conversations.  Our Code of Civility defines a commitment to one another by working as a team and remembering that everyone plays a vital role in our success.  It also cautions us to reject gossip and to embrace appreciation.  MorningStar believes that incorporating civility into our day-to-day lives helps to build relationships and inspires us to do the right thing even when no one is watching.   

Please visit our website’s Careers page for more information regarding a whole host of assisted living jobs including Care Managers, Medication Care Manager/QMAP, dining room servers, housekeeping jobs, and more.  Some of these openings are full or part-time as well as evenings and weekends.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Stay Warm this Winter!

As we age, it is important to stay warm and to dress appropriately during the colder months. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) explains that, “Older adults can lose body heat fast—faster than when they were young.” They also add an illness or taking certain medications and medical conditions may make it even more difficult for the elderly to keep warm. Also to try and stay warm, seniors have to burn more calories, which can result in weight loss. 

Making sure an elderly person is warm enough is imperative as they are more susceptible to hypothermia. In fact many times the person is not even aware they are experiencing symptoms of the condition. Early signs of hypothermia include cold feet and hands, puffy or swollen face, pale skin, and shivering in some cases. The person may also be acting sleeping, angry or confused. 

The NIA recommends if you have to go out in cold weather to wear loose layers of clothing as the air between the layers will help to keep you warm. In addition be sure to wear a hat and a scarf as we lose lots of body heat through our head and neck area. If it is snowy or a cold rain, wear a waterproof coat or jacket, and if you do get damp, change your clothes as soon as you get home. 

At home, the NIA advises seniors to not try and save money by turning down the thermostat. They say you should keep the temperature at least 68 to 70 degrees and save money by shutting off unused rooms, keeping the blinds drawn, and placing towels in front of drafty doors and windows. Wear plenty of clothes including socks and slippers and use a throw over your legs or shoulders if you are still cold. When you go to bed, wear long underwear under your pajamas, and if you are still cold, wear a knit cap. Another way to generate more body heat is to routinely exercise. This will also help to increase your appetite. 

Caring for the many needs of seniors is what MorningStar of Boulder does best. Please visit our website for more information about one of the area’s top senior retirement homes. We offer both assisted living and memory care.

Rave Reviews from Our Most Important Critics!

At MorningStar of Boulder, we are committed to providing the area with the finest senior retirement living. This is why our entire team is so gratified when we receive glowing feedback from our residents and their families as having our service recognized means we are doing our jobs well. 

One family writes to let us know, “Our uncle has made friends, gotten stronger and healthier, and re-engaged in life through the care and concern of MorningStar of Boulder. It is a relief to my husband and I to know he is being well cared for, and that we can be family again (instead of caregivers).”

We were also happy to hear from the sisters of a resident regarding her care, “My sister and I want to thank you for the excellent care our elder sister received from MorningStar. The staff was all very helpful, kind and loving. We are pleased she had a lovely place to spend her last year. You should be very proud of your team. We will be very pleased to recommend MorningStar to anyone. God bless!” 

It is especially important to us to get feedback from families of our most tender memory care residents who cannot always speak on their own behalf. One letter is from the daughters of a resident who write, “What we experienced at MorningStar of Boulder far surpassed anything we dreamed of. With our father’s dementia you were determined to finding a way to make it work. The creativity you brought to the situation kept us hopeful through tough times. Because of your loving and caring commitment, we were able to be daughters and just love him.”

MorningStar at Jordan’s Monthly Costs

If you are considering senior living residences, you will want to know how the monthly fee is determined.  At MorningStar at Jordan, our assisted living residents pay a monthly fee based on their accommodations as well as their level of care.   

Within our 55 bright suites, we offer a range of configurations that include spacious studio and one- and two-bedroom floor plans on three levels which are priced accordingly.  Your level of care (we offer five) is determined after you and your family meets with our Wellness Director to discuss your medical needs.  From there, we create a personalized care plan based on your medical history and daily needs.  Your care plan is routinely reviewed and updated as needed.   

We are also proud to offer MorningStar’s assisted living communities our Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for more coordinated, efficient care.  The central, mobile solution offers assessments, care planning, incident tracking, wound care, behavior management and eMARs (electronic medication administration records).  

We feel that the EHR system benefits both our team and residents by providing quick and secure access to accurate, complete demographic and medical information on residents.  In addition the legible documentation offers enhanced privacy and security of residents’ medical data.    

Within our Reflections Neighborhood, we have 29 secure suites dedicated to the specialized care of those with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.  For memory care, we charge an all-inclusive fee that wraps the suite rental and care (whatever the level of need) into one price.  Please visit our website to read about the full range of clinical services we provide and to learn more about our loving, beautiful community.

It’s all in how you look at the changes in your life.”
