MorningStar of Glendale’s Reflections Neighborhood


At MorningStar Senior Living of Glendale, our Reflections Neighborhood is dedicated to the specialized care of individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.  We take a holistic approach to our 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 special residents feel free to move about in spacious surroundings that include a secure courtyard reserved for memory care. We also provide a full-time nurse, 24-hour care managers, medication management and scheduled transportation as well as many on-site amenities such as a salon, theater/chapel and a host of activities and wellness programs. 

Our team at MorningStar of Glendale works every day to make a difference in the lives of our memory care residents.  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 independent and assisted living options.    

The unique mission statement of MorningStar of Glendale, “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  Our foundation is built upon honoring God, valuing all seniors, and investing in staff with a felt calling to serve.  Dedicated to creating a real home for residents within a beautiful setting, we encourage you to see for yourself the finest independent and assisted living Glendale AZ offers.
