About MorningStar of Littleton

MorningStar of Littleton Called to Serve MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Littleton in Littleton, Colorado, celebrates and elevates life for those who taught the rest of us how to live: our seniors, men and women through whom America was preserved and strengthened. MorningStar of Littleton offers premier assisted living and memory care for adults 62 years and older. While we are licensed, staffed and trained to serve residents with high levels of care needs, we also welcome those simply seeking the comforts, companionship and ease of community life. Our Reflections neighborhood is designed for those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Through Lavender Sky, MorningStar’s own philosophy and approach to dementia care, our specially trained staff Enter, Embrace and Explore in loving, personalized service to those with memory impairment. While its subtle elegance and features are reminiscent of a luxurious resort, every detail of MorningStar is considerate of creating a warm and inviting residential home, each space bearing the award-winning touch of Thoma-Holec Design. MorningStar founder, Ken Jaeger, envisioned in 2003 a senior living company defined by the human touch—true homes filled with love, compassion and respect for our elders. Years later, MorningStar has stayed the course, rooted in a mission that leads the company’s decisions, aligns its priorities and defines its behavior. Mission is the signal fire of MorningStar’s success: to honor God; to value all seniors; and to invest generously in our team. Through Radiance, our brand of service excellence, we foster a culture where collaboration trumps titles, and where kindness and relationships—with each other, residents and families—are paramount. Through the principles of Radiance, we empower our team members to create WOW moments every day for all those beneath our roof. Experience a celebrated, elevated life at MorningStar Senior Living.

MorningStar of Littleton

I would rate them a 5 on all counts, but my father was only there for 2 weeks before he passed away. Based on the experience we had, we would absolutely recommend the community to other families.

Friendly/helpful Staff

The staff was very friendly and helpful. My Mom loved her health aides. They went above and beyond to make her comfortable and happy. Also, the food was nutritious and delicious! The cost is about what other similar places charge . We did have a problem with them saying they couldn't give her Advil without a doctors letter. Kaiser kept saying they sent authorization and Morningstar said they never received it. It kept going back and for for about 10 days

Nanci, we are grateful for the praise across much of what MorningStar stands for. Our team was honored to serve your mother during her residency last year. In consulting our records, we found no missed medications nor discrepancies, having worked closely with Kaiser to coordinate her care. Thank you for the privilege of serving your family at such a tender time and may God comfort you in her loss.

Review for MorningStar of Littleton

I've been very pleasantly impressed with this facility and the staff. And Mom loves the food and activities. Assisted living and memory care apartments are identical. And the memory care area is bright and airy. I liked knowing the memory care area was as nice as assisted living; just in case. The facility also feels like a large home. Very inviting.

Morningstar is 5 stars!

The people at Morningstar are amazing! They treat their residents with respect, dignity and love. The food is really good, and families are able to share a meal with their loved one at any time. I NEVER thought my Mother would EVER be happy in an assisted living facility, but her stay at Morningstar has been nothing but positive. Did I mention that the staff are amazing? I never have to worry about Mom. I know she is being taken care of and looked after by people that truly care about her and her wellbeing. This pl

Nice staff

My Mom loved the food for the most part. She thought Morningstar was a pretty place and she liked looking at the fresh flowers that were near the dining area. Her care team really strived to make her happy and well cared for. Although her time was too short at Morningstar, we became attached to several of the employees who went above and beyond in their care for her. When I interviewed for her to go there, I was told the residents have a button to push when they need assistance. Since my Mom was placed in memory c
