Considering Senior Living Options

August 04, 2025 by Suzanne Chapple in Senior Living

There comes a time in the lives of many senior citizens when they feel the need for a more carefree, comfortable retirement without all the responsibilities that come with home ownership. If you are looking for senior living, your next question may be what community is right for me.

As some of your decisions will be based on personal needs, it is important to know that senior living communities offer a range of options including independent living, assisted living and memory care. Independent living is designed for active seniors who love the idea of predictable budgeting and built-in companionship as well as wellness programs and activities. Moreover, as a resident, if your health needs change and you require daily care, you are already familiar with all that senior living offers. 

Assisted living is tailored to those seniors who wish to receive the daily senior care services they need to maintain their independence. They too flourish with vibrant programs and a supportive social community that allows them to comfortably and safely age in place.

For families with a loved one living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, there is often a time when the person’s needs outpace the care family members can provide at home. If this is your family, you will want a community that offers a distinct memory care unit and a team of experienced caregivers. 

At MorningStar of Billings we proudly offer independent and assisted living that promotes a healthy, engaged lifestyle and allows residents to live life to the fullest. To get to know us better we encourage potential residents and their families to schedule a tour to experience firsthand our beautiful and vibrant community. Our website also offers information regarding MorningStar’s philosophy and mission along with answers to FYQs.

If a loved one has dementia, our distinct Reflections Neighborhood is designed to accommodate our special residents’ every need.   Our signature philosophy and approach to memory care is described by the expanse of possibilities we call Lavender Sky where our ambition is to thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore. The entire MorningStar team completes Lavender Sky training and Reflections Coordinators complete advanced coursework from the National Council of Certified Dementia Specialists.  Please contact us for more information and to schedule a tour. 

MorningStar has considered it a privilege and responsibility to “cast a new light” on senior living, inspired and empowered by our unique mission: to honor, to value, to invest. Our passionate commitment to serving seniors has earned us a reputation for satisfaction that is second to none. Contact us to learn more about the finest independent living, assisted living and memory care in Billings, MT.

Senior Living Communities Offer a Variety of Benefits

December 02, 2024 by Suzanne Chapple in Senior Living

In the past, many elderly people wished to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. However, with the array of senior communities offered today, older adults are realizing the various benefits senior housing brings to their quality of life. 

Studies are discovering senior living may contribute to a longer life as well as improved physical and emotional health than for those who remain in their own homes. After all, senior living provides a maintenance-free environment where residents no longer have to worry about the unexpected expenses of home repairs or never-ending maintenance. Retirement communities are designed around the needs of residents including their safety and security. Seniors also find a sense of community, which can be hard to achieve once you retire from a job or no longer drive.     

Retirement communities like MorningStar of Billings excel in offering residents best-in-class dining as well as social activities and special events to look forward to each day. Our fitness room, raised garden beds, strolling paths and exercise classes tailored to older adults allow you to stay as active as you like. Other amenities add to the vibrant environment and offer convenience such as beautiful gathering spaces, bistro, game room, theater, salon and life enrichment room.  

A look at our monthly calendar gives you an idea how many opportunities there are to stay engaged and have fun.  Games, crafts, live entertainment, movie nights, coffee groups and special interest activities ensure there is something for everyone.  In addition, forming new friendships is generally not a problem as you are amongst a group of like-minded adults.  

For residents in assisted living, our community gives them peace of mind knowing help is always at hand when needed with various care services. MorningStar’s residents receive 24/7 support and have access to licensed nurses, medication management, therapeutic services and more. Please contact us or visit our website for more information.

MorningStar takes tremendous pride in the reputation we have earned for excellence and authenticity since our inception in 2003.  We believe the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless; and we act upon that truth daily, as we care for, inspire, and love the residents under our roof.

MorningStar of Billings is Part of the MorningStar Senior Living Company

October 02, 2024 by Suzanne Chapple in Senior Living

While there are a number of options for senior living in Billings, Montana, we encourage you to consider MorningStar.  MorningStar of Billings is part of the MorningStar Senior Living Company, an experienced company with 40+ senior communities in operation or under development across eleven states.

At first glance, you may not think that makes much difference but MorningStar was started in 2003 based on a unique mission statement, principles and philosophy.  As Ken Jaeger, founder/CEO of MorningStar explains, his intention was to create senior living that was “defined by the human touch. I wanted to recreate my grandmother’s house, a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.” 

Out of this vision, came a mission statement that still guides the way we deliver service to our residents:  Honor God in our business practices and relationships; Value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals; and Invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well.”  Even the name “MorningStar” was inspired by Mr. Jaeger’s contemplation of the bible and his commitment to relieve poverty around the world.  

However, while founded on a Judeo-Christian tradition; please know that we welcome and honor all faiths and worldviews in our communities, and are committed to meeting not only residents’ social, emotional, and physical needs but their spiritual ones.  In our pursuit of creating a loving home, honoring spiritual preferences is part of caring for the whole person.  

In addition, we recognize our mission is advanced by hiring team members who hold true to our core values of love, respect, honesty, fairness, goodness, and kindness.  They are the type of individuals who feel privileged to serve seniors and help us create the kind of culture we envision building – a Family for Life.   

Our all-inclusive community offers a dining service under the direction of an Executive Chef, a range of floor plans to meet our residents’ varying needs, and onsite amenities and care services to provide carefree retirement years. If you are looking for exceptional independent living, assisted living or memory care, we encourage you to contact us or visit our website for more information.
