MorningStar Senior Living is a community deeply rooted in a mission that seeks to honor, value, and generously invest in seniors' lives. At the heart of its philosophy is the commitment to seeing each resident as significant, creating an environment where every individual is valued at their core. The founder and CEO, Ken Jaeger, has set a vision that centers on love, kindness, honesty, goodness, respect, and fairness—core values that permeate every aspect of daily life in the community.
The community offers a range of living options designed to meet the diverse needs of seniors. Independent Living at MorningStar encourages residents to find fellowship and joy in a vibrant social environment while preserving their autonomy and sense of adventure. Assisted Living is designed to provide just the right amount of support, enabling seniors to maintain their freedom while leaning on a compassionate team when needed. Programs such as "A Little Help from My Friends" show how the community fosters collaboration and support among residents, ensuring that each individual feels assisted yet empowered.
Memory Care at MorningStar is crafted to celebrate and nurture the human spirit. Residents benefit from thoughtful engagement that honors their life story and supports daily success despite memory challenges. The aim is to create spaces where everyone can enter, embrace, and explore the possibilities of every day, always guided by a sense of greater purpose and understanding a deeper “why.”
MorningStar enriches lives not only through supportive care but also by attending to the practical and emotional transitions that come with moving into senior living. Recognizing the financial complexities many seniors and their families face, the community offers education and inspiration on a variety of relevant topics, such as protecting savings from inflation and navigating the sale of a family home. Assistance with financial planning, bridge loans, and long-term care insurance is available for those who need it, providing peace of mind during a significant life change. MorningStar also aids families through partnerships with experienced real estate professionals and offers resources for those preparing to list and sell a senior’s home.
Dining at MorningStar focuses on experience, ensuring that meals are not just nourishing but also communal and enjoyable, reflecting the belief in celebrating daily living. Life enrichment programs are a key part of the offering, designed to help residents engage meaningfully with each other and with staff, growing in friendship and purpose. The community takes pride in hosting educational blog posts and resources that empower seniors and their families, whether they are learning essential questions to ask when touring communities or exploring creative ways to stretch retirement savings.
The leadership at MorningStar cultivates a culture of radiance and philanthropy, upholding a mission to invest generously in residents’ wellbeing. Every detail, from clinical services to daily activities, is guided by a spirit of love and service. MorningStar’s dedication extends beyond care—encompassing the holistic enrichment of senior lives, honoring their dignity, celebrating their stories, and shaping a welcoming, joyful home where every resident can thrive.
