At MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Fountain Hills, we offer 63 beautiful, all-inclusive private suites for assisted living in a choice of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations. Our monthly rental fee is based on square footage as well as the location within the building and view, and is designed for seniors 62 years and older.
If you are worrying about getting the level of care that you need in our community, don’t. Before you even move in, you will sit down with our Wellness Director to discuss your current health and review your medical history to determine the type of care you need. We offer five levels of care that provide assistance with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) as well as various auxiliary services, both medical and non-medical that are priced a la carte. During our assessment, we will discuss your personal preferences and normal routines so we can put together a care plan that is customized for you. And again, don’t worry about things changing after you are a resident, as we regularly re-evaluate what you need to accommodate the changes. Also if you are wondering, couples are welcome at MorningStar of Fountain Hills and can share a private suite surrounded by their own, familiar possessions. Or if you would like, you are welcome to share a suite with a close friend or relative (must be of the same sex). We also offer respite care for up to 30 days, or a “trial stay” for as short as a week or up to a full month. It is our privilege to serve seniors and we foster a culture where kindness and authenticity are paramount. Furthermore, while rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs, we welcome all faiths among our residents and team members. At MorningStar of Fountain Hills, we exemplify the very best in senior living with our unique mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest.” Our foundation is built on honoring God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve…all of which contributes to creating a true home for residents amid a beautiful, serene setting. Please call to schedule a visit to see our exceptional community. At MorningStar at Englefield Green, we feel privileged to provide compassionate, loving care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. As dementia care experts, every aspect of our community including our dining service is tailored to our special residents. Mealtimes at Englefield Green are as much about community as they are about the delicious food we serve as at each meal, residents and team members eat together (of course family members are also welcome to join us anytime).
Family style meals allow team members to encourage residents’ appetites as well as to provide any needed assistance with eating. Many of meals include offering dishes from serving bowls and platters as a way to help residents connect to memories of family meals they have eaten or prepared throughout their lives. In addition out of respect for some of our residents’ compromised abilities at the table, food is geared toward their needs. Our nutritionally-balanced meals look as good as they taste and include easy-to-eat finger foods as well as texture-modified pureed meat and vegetables. All of these dishes are prepared with finesse, and many visitors are surprised to discover how good they taste and how elegant they look. At MorningStar at Englefield Green, we strongly believe food is a healing medicine unlike any other and is also one of the great joys of living, especially when enjoyed in community. We invite you to visit our website to learn more about our holistic approach to memory care. Our community opened in the fall of 2017 and offers 50 suites in an array of configurations including spacious studios, and one- and two-bedroom apartments. We also provide all of the amenities and services to ensure the comfort, safety and wellbeing of our residents. MorningStar at Englefield Green embodies the very best in senior living with a distinct mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest” that sets us apart from other senior living communities. With a foundation built on honoring God, valuing seniors and investing in a staff with a felt calling to serve, we offer loving, compassionate care within a beautiful home-like setting. Please set up a tour to see for yourself our unique approach to memory care. Several studies have shown that the majority of seniors who move into senior living communities say they prefer it to living alone. A Place for Mom reports that “while many seniors want to age at home as long as they can, research shows that senior living communities may be the healthier option; especially after a spouse passes away.” Also seniors are often unaware of the wide range of services and amenities available at an independent or assisted living community.
When a senior lives alone, they can become pretty isolated especially if they have stopped driving. In addition trying to maintain a house can be difficult for aging adults. Housekeeping chores, preparing meals, and going up and down stairs can be challenging for the elderly. Another problem faced by seniors who live alone is a fear of falling. Having no one around to help in the case of an emergency can be scary as well as life-threatening. Senior living communities such as MorningStar of Rio Rancho provide creative programs and activities that encourage and enhance health and wellness, socialization, and mental stimulation. At Rio Rancho we also provide scheduled transportation as well as arrange special outings to local destinations such as museums, parks, plays, shopping malls and scenic drives. Residents at our assisted living and memory care community will no longer have to worry about fixing meals as we provide three daily meals that are both healthy and delicious. When MorningStar of Rio Rancho opens to residents in the spring of 2019, we will offer 51 private assisted living suites and 26 secure suites devoted to caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Our community is situated on 5.5 acres at the northwest corner of Westside Boulevard and Golf Course Road in scenic Rio Rancho.

At MorningStar at Englefield Green, we know a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia can be traumatizing for a family, which is why we are here to help. Under the guidance of our extraordinary leadership team, we proudly provide loving care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases.
Right from the top, our Executive Director, Lesley Jacobson, sets a standard of care that cannot be matched by other senior living communities. Her love and compassion for seniors began with her loving grandmother and grandfather. Lesley only wishes that her grandparent could have experience what the residents of MorningStar do. Furthermore she knows she is living out her calling when residents sing out, “I love you,” each night as she goes home. Whitney Endo, RN, our Wellness Director, learned her passion for caring early on in life. Growing up with a dad with Lou Gerhig’s Disease (ALS) who was paralyzed from the neck down, Whitney assisted her mom in all of his activities of daily living from an early age. Now having the privilege to serve seniors allows her to continue doing what she loves. Serving as our Community Relations Assistance, Rachael Beaudin began bonding with seniors as a young child. Her neighbor Marj was a warm, friendly and compassionate soul who validated Rachael for who she was as well as treasured her as an individual. Rachael is proud to now represent a company that is distinguished by its focus, purpose and values and places relationships above all else. At MorningStar at Englefield Green, we offer 50 secure suites in configurations including studio and one and two-bedroom floor plans along with all of the services and amenities to ensure your loved one the best care.

With a foundation built on honoring God, valuing seniors and investing in a staff with a felt calling to serve, we offer loving, compassionate care within a beautiful home-like setting. Please set up a tour to see for yourself our unique approach to memory care. The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s is devastating for everyone in the family and an uncomfortable, difficult topic for people to talk about. In some cases, even physicians do not discuss the disease with their patients, and sometimes a person is unaware of the diagnosis. Others may try to hide their memory problems, and as a result, end up with little time to put their affairs in order and plan for the future.
However experts say it is important to discuss the diagnosis and its ramifications with your family in order to make your wishes known regarding your care. One of the things you will want to do is to designate a family member to make decisions on your behalf once you are unable to do so. With the help of your family, you will also need to make financial decisions such as setting aside assets to pay for long-term care in an assisted living facility or for home care. Keep in mind that planning ahead also gives your family peace of mind as they will know they are following your wishes. Another one of the recommendations from experts who work with Alzheimer’s patients is to have the person tell their life story. This can be in a journal form or recorded and provides a meaningful way for the family to bond together. Furthermore, it helps to make the person feel that they are a valued member of the family. At MorningStar of Fountain Hills’ Reflections Neighborhood, we provide individualized care for those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases. We treat each of our residents with dignity and respect and find ways to connect with and nurture their very essence. Our memory care is based on our extensive knowledge and experience with dementia-related diseases and we support residents from the early onset of the disease through the final stages.
