  It’s never easy to realize that your parent needs more help than you can provide on your own . My creative, fun loving mom developed dementia in 2013 . I tried to help her stay in independent living but after several falls and health setbacks , I needed outside help . The staff at MorningStar made my mom and my family feel like we were their only clients with the attentive , competent care they provided . Mom was loved by the staff and even with her failing mind, I could tell special bonds were built with her caregivers .Was I ever frustrated ? Yes but when I communicated with the staff, they took time to listen and we were able to resolve issues with satisfaction . Home can never be replaced but MS comes very close . Meals were healthy and mom also loved her strawberry ice cream she got to have ! There are fun events every day whether it’s a movie , musician , wine/cheese tasting or crafts . There is something for all. I highly recommend MorningStar at Mountain Shadows!

  We couldn't have asked for better care for mom if we had designed it ourselves. MorningStar Mountain Shadows opened just down the street from my folk's house about 2 years before mom needed it. We all knew it would be coming, but when the time actually came they were unbelievably helpful, kind, and capable. Taking someone with Alzheimer's to a facility is the hardest decision to make. Mom was resistant but they made her feel at home quickly and surrounded her with love, warmth, activities, attention, healthy nutrition, and treated her as if she was their family member. The small community is really helpful, as they can provide a level of attention that is difficult to do at larger facilities. We've since moved both of our folks to MorningStar Ridgegate so they can be closer to us in Denver, however we really miss the smaller community there at Mountain Shadows. Alzheimer's is hard. Let people like this help. It makes a difference.

  My husband is unable communicate due to a neurodegenerative disease but he felt accepted and content to be at Morning Star which we call "the Resort"! After the respite stay and he returned home, he smiled with not only his mouth but his eyes for days afterward. He's even looking forward to returning this month for another stay. Definitely would recommend MS at Mountain Shadows to anyone seeking a caring, friendly facility. Watson, the Noodle and mascot, also welcomes and enjoys attention. He's a great addition to the kind, human staff.

  My mother is a resident here. As a healthcare professional I have seen many places where the care of residents is lacking. Not here. The staff is wonderful and everybody is pleasant. It's small which helps but nothing is too much for the staff to do. My mother is happy here and I sleep easy at night knowing that she is taken care of in a safe, healthy and happy place.
