Senior Living Options

A fulfilled life for older adults means more than simply “living” and “being taken care of”.

Your life. Your home. A continuum of care.

While the easiest choice is often to simply age in place, older adults will not only age more safely, but more gracefully, and with greater freedom when they embrace change. Life progress continues as a senior.  Our communities and range of options for senior living at Five Star are part of that progress.

Independent Living

Engaging cultural events, a greatly expanded social circle, physical activities, and intellectual challenges that keep you healthy and engaged: independent living is about full-service community options, exploration, and freedom to do what you want.

Assisted Living

With assisted living, you can get back to you. Freed from everyday chores and errands, and with medical resources right there when you need them, you can connect with family, make new friends over a delicious dinner or fun movie night, and truly feel at home while receiving the elderly care you need.

Memory Care

At Five Star, we’re experts in memory care. Our elder care programs are tailored toward level of ability, motivation, and interest of our residents living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. When people feel heard and appreciated, they thrive. That’s what we provide—not just for residents, but for their families, too.

Short-term stays

Short-term stays provide a home away from home, with activities, dining – and peace of mind – for those who need short-term care while recovering from surgery or illness or while family caregivers are away.

Finding an assisted living community was not an easy task. After much research & tours at so many places we are so happy with our choice of Morningside. The assisted living is smaller than most places & we love that it is single story. We are always greeted by seniors sitting out on the front porch & the staff even have tubs of bottled water out for them! We no longer have to worry about moms safety at home & wish we would have made the move sooner. Thank you Brandon & team!!

My wife has been in the memory care unit at Morningside for a year as of June 2026. My family and I are very pleased with the care she receives there. She is happy, safe, healthy and very well cared for. We love how patient and kind the staff is with her.

I have visited Morningside of Raleigh several times, and with each visit I’ve noticed what a wonderful environment it offers. The community is always clean and welcoming, with a beautiful, fragrant aroma of fresh flowers throughout. The residents are consistently smiling, and the food is always delicious. When the time comes, Morningside of Raleigh would definitely be at the top of my list for my mom.
