Why Morning Star Manor?

* Because...We realize that leaving your present location is not easy, so we are committed to making it a comfortable transition.

* Because...We provide individualized health and personal care assistance in a
home-like setting while you are free to focus on Enjoying Life!

* Because...We understand that our attitude makes a difference; we are very generous with personalized attention. Whether through hugs and smiles or uplifting conversation our caregivers are committed to providing the quality care and compassion our residents deserve.

* Because...We believe we are here to do more than offer our residents assistance in their time of need. We believe we are here to applaud them in their successes. We believe it is our duty to nurture their spirits, offer encouragement, build self-esteem, and encourage self-reliance. We are here to honor their privacy, protect their dignity, and sometimes we are just here to listen and be a friend when they need comfort or consoling.

Whether you are looking forward to letting someone else handle the mundane daily tasks of day to day living, or you are comforted by the knowledge that our trained staff is looking out for you or you just long for the fellowship of others, Morning Star Manor provides an ideal setting to enjoy your golden years.


Quality of Life

"Quality of Life" depends as much on the care that is given as it does on the environment in which it is received. At Morning Star Manor, our purpose is to provide compassionate care within a setting of comfort, respect and security.

Our Caregiver Team

Our dedicated team is made up of individuals of the highest caliber, who are compassionate, responsible, and well-trained in resident care. We believe that to fully care for our residents, we must provide a wide range of services that go beyond basic housekeeping and personal care assistance. Often we help them to write a letter or schedule an appointment. But sometimes we must help residents to deal with a sensitive issue such as incontinence or memory loss. We understand that is important to offer words of encouragement that promote feelings of value, appreciation and uphold their dignity.

We are passionate about the care and well-being of our family of residents.

Our Home-Like Atmosphere

Residents enjoy good food and friendships in a “home-like” setting, which helps to preserve (or even improve) good health and maintain quality of life. We offer opportunity for social interaction, while respecting privacy.

Residents maintain all the freedoms of independent living without the responsibilities or fears. They are not restricted from coming and going as they please. We encourage residents to invite guests to visit with them and enjoy day or overnight trips with families and friends when the opportunity is there.

This IS home. Our residents are nurtured, cared for and treated as family.

Our Dining Experience

We take pride in our Bed & Breakfast atmosphere and our dining area is one with a very relaxed tone. The warm glow of the fireplace adds an additional sense of comfort while dining.

* Meal Choices
Our meals are wholesome, and many items are home made. We serve three nutritious meals each day, plus snacks are always available.

* Meal Preparation
While striving to satisfy the needs and tastes of each resident, our food service staff prepares meals based on generally accepted nutritional guidelines. We do not add salt to our foods and accommodations are made to meet the special nutritional and dietary needs of our residents. We are always looking for new ways to vary the menu while meeting dietary requirements and meals are often adapted from a favorite recipe.

Dining is more than eating; it's a time for communion and fellowship with others.


The Fellowship of Others

Morning Star Manor provides the opportunity for fellowship that many seniors are denied when they live alone. When you come into our home, you are welcomed into a family - consisting of people just like you.
