Work at One of Denver’s Premier Senior Living Communities

While the Denver area may have many senior living communities, we guarantee that you will not find any better ones to work for than those of MorningStar Senior Living’s Denver communities.  Our six, loving residential homes include MorningStar’s Arvada, Jordan, Littleton, RidgeGate, Wheat Ridge, and Parker Senior Living, of which all are looking for extraordinary individuals to fill a number of assisted living jobs. 

One look at our history and founding principles will help you understand how different our approach to senior living is and the unique way we go about achieving those goals.  To start with, our company was founded on a mission statement that includes honoring God, valuing all seniors, and investing generously in our team’s ability to serve well. 

The last part of our mission statement about investing in our team’s ability to succeed is not just words but put into action every day at our communities.  We start by providing meaningful training and mentoring to each employee, which includes Radiance, our proprietary Service Excellence initiative.  Radiance is an attitude of the heart, and just like a beam of light; it celebrates an attitude of selflessness that issues from a deep and sincere place.  We use it to guide the way we deliver service. As one team member explains, “Radiance training is absolutely phenomenal!”  She adds, “I appreciate that MorningStar strives not only to help team members be their best at work, but in their personal lives as well.”

Investing generously in our team efforts to serve well also means paying well for the work done, which is why all employees receive competitive wages.  We also offer healthcare plans that include medical, dental, and vision, and vacation, sick time and holiday pay.  Moreover we try to respect shift preferences and to provide predictable schedules to give team members a healthy work-life balance. 

Please visit our website to learn more about our various open positions including Care Managers, food servers, cooks, and housekeeping jobs in our Denver communities.   You will find full job description and information on how to apply. 

At MorningStar Senior Living, our unique mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  We are committed to a foundation built upon honoring God and valuing all seniors, and are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve seniors.  For a rewarding career, visit MorningStar’s Career page for links to assisted living jobs in Denver.

MorningStar at Jordan’s Website Offers Lots of Information

MorningStar at Jordan’s website is loaded with resources and information for families in the Centennial CO area looking for senior living residences.  While we are more than happy to personally answer any questions you may have, we have found it is helpful to provide information on commonly asked questions under our “FAQ” tool bar. 

Here you will get a good start on questions such as “What is an assisted living community?” We explain our assisted living community is for seniors 62 years and older who require assistance with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).  Within a residential setting, we offer families peace of mind knowing trained and compassionate care managers are there to help navigate their loved ones’ changing health conditions.  Like many assisted living communities, we offer a secure neighborhood for the memory-impaired (those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia).

Couples will learn that of course, they can move in together, and that we also offer Companion Living, which is where two people of the same sex can share a suite.  In addition we offer respite stays or trial (short-term) stays based on the availability of a fully-furnished suite. 

If you are wondering how your monthly fee is determined, our FAQs explains room rates are based on the type of room, location and view as well as the level of services for assisted living residents.  This is determined after an assessment by our Wellness Director.   You will additionally find information regarding our transportation services, ratio of care staff to residents, and answers to many other questions.

Rosalynn Carter, the former first lady is quoted as saying, “There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.  We could not agree more and simply ask that if you have a felt calling to serve and have always had a special place in your heart for seniors, please apply to one of our assisted living jobs at Denver’s MorningStar communities.  

Our area communities include MorningStar of Arvada in Arvada, MorningStar at Jordan in Centennial, MorningStar of Littleton in Littleton, MorningStar at RidgeGate in Lone Tree, MorningStar of Wheat Ridge in Wheat Ridge, and Parker Senior Living by MorningStar in Parker.  All of our beautiful senior living homes have earned the respect and gratitude of area families for the compassionate, professional care provided to their loved ones.  On our website you will find lots of loving reviews from residents themselves or families that enthusiastically praise the great care and treatment received at our MorningStar homes.

Hobbies Help Seniors Stay Interested in Life

Spending time doing things you enjoy can not only help you to stay more interested in life but may also be good for your health.  Many hobbies are enjoyed at any age and can help to exercise your mind or body (many do both) as well as provide social interactions.     

Creative hobbies such as painting, sculpting, photography, scrapbooking, knitting and the performing arts are fun activities for seniors and provide lots of opportunity for socializing.  Another healthy hobby is caring for a pet according to A Place for Mom.  They explain that, “Pets provide a comfort system and actually produce a chemical chain reaction in the brain that helps to lower levels of the stress-inducing hormone cortisol and increase the production of the feel-good hormone serotonin.”  Studies have shown that pet ownership may help lower cholesterol, fight depression and help protect against heart conditions.    

Stretching exercises and yoga are also popular with seniors as they help improve flexibility and movement and build balance as well as improve blood flow to the brain, heart and circulatory system. Yoga classes are designed for many physical fitness levels such as chair yoga for those unable to get down on the floor.  Joining a walking group is another fun way to exercise and spend time with friendly faces.  

At MorningStar at Jordan, we specialize in providing our residents with a lifestyle of comfort, wellness and community.  Every day we offer a variety of fun and engaging activities that include things such as exercise and walking groups, games, flower arranging, poetry readings and much more.  Please visit our website to learn more about our loving assisted living home and while you are there, be sure to take a look at “Scenes of Elevated, Celebrated Life.”    

MorningStar at Jordan’s mission statement “to honor, to serve, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living options.

Why Serving Seniors is So Special!

Our company was founded on the idea that seniors are heroes, and if anyone deserves our respect, it is them.  After all they have lived through and faced many of life’s challenges and trials with tenacity and courage.  Over their lifetime, they have witnessed everything from world wars to the world-wide web and through it all have gained a unique perspective and plenty of wisdom.

When we provide the support and care an older person needs, we help them to lead fuller lives and to retain their dignity and independence in the latter stages of life.  Serving seniors is a rewarding career choice as it is something that makes a real difference in their quality of life.  In fact our loving care can help turn a senior’s difficult day into one of laughter and fun.

Working closely with the elderly also provides a more realistic view on what is most important in life.  We even get a new viewpoint at how we should look after ourselves.  Also while you support a senior’s care needs, you become a valued friend and confidant.  This includes the pleasure of hearing fascinating life stories and having them share cherished mementos and photos.  

Moreover as seniors go through so much during their lifetime, they have the opportunity to learn many life lessons.  If we make the time to listen, we can learn much from the wisdom they have gained over many years.  However the biggest surprise you might find about serving seniors is it can be fun.  Unlike many of us who are way too busy with day-to-day responsibilities, a senior has the time to be a friend and to share and build new memories. 

If you feel called to serve, please consider applying to one of our rewarding assisted living jobs in Denver and the surrounding area.  These are fulfilling careers that allow you to make a difference in the lives of our residents; and as we like to say at MorningStar, if you hang out with heroes, you may just become one yourself!   Please see our website for more.
