March 24, 2025 by MorningStar Senior Living in Assisted Living

MorningStar at RidgeGate is a vibrant 55+ community offering independent and assisted living in Highlands Ranch, CO area with easy access to shopping, restaurants, cultural venues and other services.  We are one of ten MorningStar communities in the Denver area.

As a MorningStar at RidgeGate resident, you will be treated to a whole host of resort-style amenities and services including a five-star dining experience.  All residents are treated to meals prepared under the supervision of our Executive Chef and served restaurant-style in our beautiful dining rooms.  We understand that food is a healing medicine unlike any other and is one of the great joys of living.  

Our meals are prepared largely from scratch using the freshest ingredients from the highest quality local producers.  MorningStar’s Chef looks forward to feedback from residents and is open to suggestions.  At each meal, residents will have choices to self-manage their dietary restrictions such as low sodium, sugar free, no sugar added, vegetarian and low fat dishes.  

We also believe in BrainWise foods and use ingredients known to support brain health with their high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.  Thus, as the MorningStar’s culinary team strives to create meals that delight the eye and palate, they also leverage the phenomenal benefits of superfoods such as Omega 3 fats, acai berries, dark chocolate and dark greens.

Our community has a choice of stylish suites for independent living including spacious penthouses over 1800 sq. ft.  For those needing help with the activities of daily living we offer a variety of assisted living floor plans including a two-bedroom, two-bath model.  In addition, our Reflections Neighborhood has suites devoted to caring for those with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases.  While residents’ apartments are their own private nest, our community also has many beautiful common areas, both inside and out.  Please contact us for more information about luxury senior living at MorningStar.

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.

Assisted Living Communities Offer Many Benefits

December 23, 2024 by MorningStar Senior Living in Assisted Living

Many older adults are pleasantly surprised to discover that moving to an assisted living community is not the worst thing to happen to them.  In fact, statistics show that for many seniors it is a healthier, more agreeable alternative to living alone.  The reason some seniors are initially reluctant to make the move is that they are unaware of the significant changes that have occurred in senior living over the years especially in terms of care options and amenities.  

Today’s communities like MorningStar at RidgeGate offer assisted living that is geared toward meeting aging adult’s physical, emotional, spiritual and wellness needs.  Also, for many seniors, assisted living offers a better choice for those who require help in their daily lives than receiving in-home care services.  This is because assisted living communities offer 24/7 care and provide the security of knowing help is not far away in the event of an emergency.   

For seniors living alone, assisted living provides the opportunity for socializing whether it is with planned activities or in common areas designed to encourage relaxed interactions.  Even if you are someone who values your privacy, community living offers the benefit of private suites with the comfort of having others around.   

Another reason you may want to consider is that communities such as MorningStar are designed for the mobility and safety of seniors who may not be as sturdy on their feet as they once were.  To modify your own home to accommodate physical limitations can be quite expensive.  

At MorningStar at RidgeGate, we also provide scheduled transportation and planned outings to a variety of places such as shopping, parks or cultural events.  Furthermore, for many older adults cooking and preparing meals is difficult and we solve that problem by providing tasty, nutritional daily meals.  Please contact us to set up a tour to experience firsthand MorningStar’s assisted living in the Highlands Ranch, CO area.

MorningStar at RidgeGate’s foundation is based on the mission to honor God, value seniors and invest in our staff to create a unique senior living experience.  Set in a warm, loving atmosphere with beautiful surroundings and resort-style amenities, we provide the finest assisted living Highlands Ranch, CO offers.  Please contact us or visit our website to learn more.

Share a Suite at MorningStar of RidgeGate

November 22, 2024 by MorningStar Senior Living in Assisted Living

MorningStar at RidgeGate recognizes that for some, senior living can seem out of reach for them financially, which is why we strive to help families find ways to make it affordable.  One of the solutions we offer is “Companion Living.”  This is where two unrelated people of the same sex share a suite, whether in independent living, assisted living or memory care.

Obviously, it is ideal if you have a relative, friend or acquaintance that is looking for the same type of situation and you can pair up to share a suite with them.  However, we know that option is not always available, so we step in and help find a suitable companion for you.  We carefully pair residents together based on common backgrounds and interests as that provides a good basis for building a friendship.  With this living arrangement, the rent of the shared suite is split.  

Beyond the financial advantage, companion living can help ease the transition to a senior living community.  The presence of a roommate can encourage more confident socialization with the broader community, and having someone around who knows the ropes is always helpful.  Also, you can look out for one another’s interests and most likely be the first one to notice a change in the other’s health or abilities.  As we all know, when a friend is present, everything else suddenly feels that much better.

MorningStar at RidgeGate offers residents an engaged lifestyle that includes a wide range of programs and activities as well as nutritional daily meals. Our many onsite amenities include a bistro, theatre, chapel, salon, fitness center, art studio, pool and beautiful grounds.  If you are looking for a community with amenities and services unmatched by other independent and assisted living in Highlands Ranch, CO area, please visit our website to learn more about MorningStar. 

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.
