Looking for the Best Phoenix Assisted Living Community?

The nationally reputed Phoenix firm of Thoma-Holec Design swept the Senior Living Category at the National 2014 ASID Design for Excellence Awards, winning First Place for the gorgeous, contemporary décor that makes MorningStar at Arcadia so remarkable.

In contrast to other senior assisted living facilities, MorningStar’s exceptional architecture and design will impress you from the first. Our graciously-appointed spaces are extensions of your private suite, beautiful and ready to receive your callers any day of the week.

Yet the feature we brag about the most, the one that attracts the most attention, is our atmosphere of love, of community, built one loving relationship at a time. By this, we can—and do—offer the very best in senior assisted living, memory care and respite care.

Our entire staff is engaged in finding ways to build that spirit of community. Even for respite care residents (here for a short recuperative stay), there’s the promise of new friendships. And for the most tender among us, our memory care residents, each day presents opportunity to stimulate the brain and find moments of spontaneous joy.

MorningStar Assisted Living and Memory Care at Arcadia is conveniently located in the heart of the Valley, adjacent to the popular neighborhoods of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Please drop in or give us a call at 480.530.8752 to schedule a tour of our assisted living facility. We certainly hope you like what you see in our gracious home.

MorningStar at Arcadia’s mission statement “to honor, to serve, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living options. We have built a foundation on honoring God, valuing our seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve. Set in a warm, loving atmosphere with exceptional architecture and resort-style amenities, MorningStar at Arcadia offers our residents the best assisted living in Phoenix AZ.

Lifestyle Options

INDEPENDENT LIVING

Retirees move to MorningStar for a refreshing change of lifestyle with built-in companionship, predictable budgeting, activities and programming, and tasty meals they no longer need to cook.

Men and women move to MorningStar’s Independent Living for a refreshing change of lifestyle including built-in companionship, predictable budgeting, activities and programming, and tasty meals they no longer need to cook. Under our roof, seniors enjoy stress-free living, a season that extends their independence and continues the adventure.

We handle all the maintenance, inside and out, and offer weekly housekeeping. Our Independent Living suites are equipped with their own washer/dryer, and full kitchens for the meals you feel like preparing on your own.

Our operating license does not permit us to extend care to those in our Independent Living neighborhood, however we can arrange for home health agencies to serve you, if the need arises.

ASSISTED LIVING

In our elderhood, we may have to open ourselves to a little help once in a while. And with that honesty and transparency, we can enter into a truer human experience, one in which we can receive and give love.

MorningStar offers Assisted Living neighborhoods with various levels of support with the activities of daily living, each type of assistance determined after an assessment with our Wellness Director, working in agreement with the senior and extended family. In all cases, around-the-clock Care Managers are on site and at the ready to ensure your safety as they meet your expressed (and even unexpressed) needs.

MEMORY CARE

While many of us lightheartedly reference a lapse in memory as “having a senior moment,” the true onset of dementia due to brain disease ushers seniors and families onto an entirely different path: a purple road.

MorningStar’s philosophy and approach to this kind of supported living is encompassed under the expanse of possibilities we call “Lavender Sky.” Under a Lavender Sky, our ambition is to thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore.

Day Program and Short-term Stays

We are pleased to also offer a Day Program in our community, an opportune setting in which to make new friends and reap the rewards of community life. Whether for a full day or half, seniors can enjoy meals, welcoming faces and our full calendar of Life Enrichment activities.

Additionally, we offer Short-term Stays (30 days or less) for those times when a senior’s regular caregiver is needing a vacation. These respite stays are ideal for those recovering from surgery or otherwise convalescing. MorningStar offers the quiet quarters and attendance you need to fully recover. We also offer the companionship and community that is just as much a part of healing.

I cannot say enough, spectacular things about this community in the heart of Arcadia! First of all, thank you so much to Luis & Alex for your attentiveness to my clients needs and fantastic communication. When I toured they had live musical entertainment that my client thoroughly enjoyed with a lively crowd. We toured an apartment home that boasted amazing views of Camelback Mountain. There were beautiful outdoor courtyard areas with a fireplace barbecue resident garden and more. What a gorgeous place to call home and I will definitely return with future clients looking in the Arcadia area.
