Take an Active Part in Your Health Care

Many people are reluctant to take up their doctor’s time by asking a lot of questions.  However health providers say taking an active part in your health care can help your doctor to better treat you.  Also since it is easy to forget any questions you may have, experts suggest doing your homework and preparing beforehand.  

If you are new to a doctor, you should write down your medical history and bring it to your appointment.  For all of your appointments, bring a list of the medications you are taking including the dosages and strength of the medications as well as all vitamins and herbal supplements.  

Also take the time to write down any questions you have for the doctor.  This way you are less likely to forget and can use your time with the doctor more efficiently.  Be sure to share any health concerns you have and remember this is not the time to be embarrassed.   Describe your symptoms clearly and let them know if you are experiencing any side effects from your medications.  

If your doctor says something you do not understand, speak up and let them know so they can explain it better.  If they suggest you may have a medical condition you are unfamiliar with, ask them to write down the name. You may want to bring a family member with you to help you remember things and to write down answers to your questions.   
Remember it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions.  If you have forgotten something or have further questions, you should call the office and request to speak to a nurse or leave a message for the doctor.  If a new medication or change in the dosage is causing problems, be sure to let the doctor know.

At MorningStar of Boulder, we provide transportation to medical appointments along with an array of other services to ensure your wellbeing and comfort.  Please see our website to learn more the area’s finest senior retirement living.

MorningStar of Boulder offers the very best in senior retirement living with our distinct mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest.”  Our foundation is built upon honoring God, valuing all seniors, and investing in staff with a felt calling to serve.

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.

Meals at MorningStar are prepared largely from scratch by our Executive Chef and made from the freshest homegrown or locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.  Chef welcomes residents’ feedback and adapts recipes to make sure everyone enjoys our mealtimes. 

In addition we are committed to using BrainWise foods, which have been recognized as supporting brain health.  Super Foods include items such as blue and black berries and acai that contain anti-inflammatory properties and mega antioxidants.  Our delicious, nutrient-rich meals may include nuts and seeds, which are not only a great source of protein but are rich in omega-3 and Vitamin E, supplements known for fighting cognitive decline.   

Other foods we serve are omega-3 rich fish and healthy, antioxidant treats made with dark chocolate.  We also offer a selection of sugar free, no sugar added, low sodium, vegetarian and low fat choices so our residents can self-manage their diets to meet any restrictions.

In our Reflections Neighborhood for memory care, mealtime is a community gathering place with team members eating right alongside our residents, and family members welcome to join us.  Furthermore, we recognize eating can be difficult for some individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia so we serve lots of finger foods as well as mechanically soft and puréed or thickened liquids.  Most importantly our easy-to-recognize balanced meals taste as good as they look.   Please visit our website to learn more about the many amenities and services offers by MorningStar at Jordan.

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.  

Once you take a look at our website (be sure to look through our gallery of pictures), please consider setting up a tour.  It is impossible to truly assess the loving atmosphere of MorningStar at Jordan without a personal visit.
