Morningstar Senior Living at Dayton Place, also known as Five Star Residences of Dayton Place, sits in Denver, Colorado, offering a retirement home for adults aged 62 and up who want independent living, assisted living, or memory care. The community provides several styles of apartments, including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, as well as detached homes, with floor plans that change depending on needs, and you'll see wall-to-wall carpeting, mini blinds, and full, handicap-accessible bathrooms, plus emergency call systems in each apartment to help in case of need. There's a Reflections wing that opened in fall 2009 with twelve extra one-bedroom apartments aimed at residents needing memory care. Independent seniors can pick from 82 one-bedroom and 22 two-bedroom suites, while 81 suites in the assisted living areas offer options for varying levels of help across three levels of the building. Residents will find specialized support is available if they have physical disabilities, memory conditions like dementia, mental health concerns, medical needs, or need help with everyday activities, and the staff works around the clock-weekdays, evenings, weekends, and overnight-to provide assistance as needed. The general manager, owner, and vice president of operations make up the management team, and the community is privately owned, but it doesn't carry BBB accreditation.
The place offers a wide variety of services, with things like housekeeping, medication management, diabetic care, physical therapy, in-house doctor visits, and ambulatory care, and there are respite stay options for those recovering from surgery, as well as short stays up to 30 days if someone's convalescing. For daily life, there are two or more meals served every day in a full-service dining room, a MyChoice Dining Program, and options to enjoy snacks, happy hour, or five star dining, along with covered parking, transportation and parking for residents, and a concierge desk to help with questions. Residents can use the library, movie theater, computer workstations, activity studio, chapel, beauty salon, barbershop, card and game room, and a bar and cocktail lounge, and community events like movie nights, game nights, group trips, lifestyle clubs, exercise classes, fitness programs, and life enrichment activities keep things interesting and social. There's even an indoor heated pool, an outdoor pool, a pond and lake, landscaped gardens, a gazebo, dog park for pets, and a gated entry, all built for comfort and security.
Folks have the choice of a full kitchen or a kitchenette in their units, and there's satellite TV, internet, basic cable, and in-house religious services every week. The community is pet-friendly and offers both on-site and off-site devotional services, as well as FOX Rehabilitation services for more specialized healthcare needs. For those who need spiritual support, there's a chapel and a range of devotional activities, plus community gardens for residents who like to spend time outdoors. Housekeeping services help keep the apartments tidy. The focus here is always on promoting independence but still lending a hand when it's needed, making sure older adults have different care levels and community resources, a busy calendar, and outdoor spaces to enjoy. The facility also partners with Morningstar Dayton Place Cottages and offers information online about pricing, amenities, reviews, and frequently asked questions, so people can learn more before moving in.
