Nestled within easy reach of the world-class medical care of the Houston Medical Center, the cultural amenities of the Museum District, and the high end dining and shopping of River Oaks, MorningStar Senior Living offers Assisted Living as a lifestyle option, providing support with the activities of daily living. Around-the-clock Care Managers are at the ready to ensure a resident’s comfort and safety as the team meets expressed (and unexpressed) needs. Nurses are on site 24 hours a day to supervise the care of higher need residents. Apartments are beautifully decorated with high end finishes, fully functional kitchens, washers and dryers and can safely accommodate couples with differing care needs, all the way from Independent to residents needing specialized assisted living services such as mechanical lift transfers and insulin dependent diabetes management.
We offer Short-term Stays for those times when a senior’s regular caregiver is on vacation. These respite stays are ideal for those recovering from surgery or otherwise convalescing. MorningStar offers the quiet quarters and attendance you need to fully recover. We also offer the companionship and community that is just as much a part of healing.
In our Reflections Neighborhood, MorningStar is honored to elevate life for those living with a diagnosis of dementia. We define dementia care from a posture of respect. What we offer, how we communicate, how we touch is all marked with dignity, compassion and love for each resident. The creative side of our support starts by knowing residents well. By interviewing the family on a person’s full history, we discover core motivators, abilities and preferences.
MorningStar’s studied approach to dementia care is described by the expanse of possibilities we call “Lavender Sky” where our ambition is to thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore. The key brand standards are these:
Family orientation & support resources
Resident’s social history used for personalized care and programming
Whole home programming
Aromatherapy and holistic modalities
Culinary excellence; BrainWise foods
Signature hydration program
Purposeful life skill opportunities
The entire MorningStar team completes Lavender Sky training. Reflections Coordinators complete advanced coursework from the National Council of Certified Dementia Specialists.
