MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Littleton sits on Kipling Street at the foot of the Rockies, not far from Bear Creek Lake Regional Park, and aims to make life comfortable and homelike for people aged 62 and older who need assisted living and memory care. The building stands two stories and provides 65 private, spacious suites across three floors, with housing options that include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites, all designed to be bright, airy, and to help reduce confusion for residents with memory loss, especially those living with Alzheimer's or other dementias. Residents needing extra support with memory challenges live in the secure Reflections Neighborhood, which holds 20 dedicated suites and has a safe layout to prevent wandering.
Staff at MorningStar are trained in dementia care and the community is an Alzheimer's Association Leader in Dementia Care, so residents can expect staff who understand how to help with memory loss and other needs, including incontinence and more advanced personal care if a diagnosis requires it. Services like housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, meals with all-day dining, and transportation are included, and residents have access to onsite therapy including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. There's a focus on independence and quality of life, so daily routines are supported with help for activities like bathing and dressing, but the goal's always to keep residents as independent as possible.
Amenities try to give the feel of a well-cared-for home, with attractive common areas, vibrant spaces for social and recreational activities, and outdoor spots for fresh air, while the community holds a good reputation for being safe and welcoming. WellStar care supports health and engagement, and the facility does allow for short-term and respite stays, so families can find flexible options when needed. There's a range of wellness and fitness programs, events to keep life social and fun, and the kitchen is known for tasty meals throughout the day, so it's a place where seniors can enjoy their retirement years in surroundings that are modern but warm and attentive to their changing needs.
