Many families with elderly parents or
loved ones are uncertain just what to expect from an assisted
living community.
While each community has its own personality and differs from the type
of services and amenities offered, typically “assisted living” is a long-term
care option that provides personal care support services such as bathing,
dressing, meals, medication management, and transportation. According to aPlaceforMom.com, assisted
living may offer “a more cost effective, residential approach to delivering
many of the same services either by employing home health agencies or personal
care staff.”
At MorningStar
of Sparks, we offer 80 private assisted living suites in a
variety of configurations as well as provide residents with a whole host of
resort-style amenities and services. Upon joining our community, the resident and
their family meets with our Wellness Director for a thorough assessment of
their needs that is used to create a customized care plan.
Furthermore, regardless of the level
of care you receive, all residents have an onsite 24/7 Care Manager that is
ready to ensure their safety and comfort.
We also offer a licensed nurse onsite 5 days a week and on call 24/7; medication
management by certified med care managers; periodic care plan reviews; and scheduled
health & wellness evaluations.
As MorningStar defines health and
well-being holistically, we are proud to offer a range of services and programs
that support the whole person: body, mind and spirit. We consider wellness to be a joint effort

in making MorningStar the destination for successful aging.
