Holistic Memory Care Coming to Beaverton, Oregon


Opening in late 2018, MorningStar of Beaverton’s Reflections Neighborhood will be dedicated to the specialized care of individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.  We take a holistic approach to our memory care, which starts with the utmost respect and compassion for each resident, borne out of a deep understanding of the many pathologies known collectively as dementia, including the most prevalent, Alzheimer’s disease.  

Our secure and loving memory neighborhood can provide the care your family member needs at the onset of the disease through to the most advanced stages where the highest level of care is required.  The creative side of our care begins with learning about each resident.  We interview the family to get a thorough understanding of a person’s history and use that knowledge to aid in their care and to develop a trust between the resident and our staff.  To help control adverse behaviors associated with the disease, we use a variety of multi-sensory cues, including aromatherapy, to calm and to awaken memories, to support capabilities and to affirm the individual’s dignity and value.  

Our caregivers at MorningStar of Beaverton will work every day to make a difference in the lives of our memory care residents. Our team is composed of well-trained care managers who work together to establish a daily routine designed to stimulate or calm the resident in response to their mood or situational encounters.  We know a prognosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia is frightening, which is why we work closely with our families to help them understand what is happening to their loved one. 
Please contact us to learn more about our Reflections Neighborhood as well as our full MorningStar of Beaverton’s assisted living community.  
MorningStar of Beaverton proudly provides the very best in senior living with our unique mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest.” With a foundation built on honoring God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve, we create a true home for residents amid a beautiful setting.
