MorningStar at Golden Ridge Offers Casitas for Active Seniors

While some seniors feel strongly about remaining in their homes after retirement, other seniors have discovered the many benefits of moving into an independent living community.   MorningStar at Golden Ridge invites you to take a closer look at some of the advantages.

MorningStar at Golden Ridge’s friendly and comfortable independent living consists of 38 Casitas with resort style amenities.  We are conveniently located to both Peoria and Glendale, and close to shopping, restaurants, and the medical community. And if you no longer wish to drive, we provide transportation to shopping, appointments and outings by both bus and private vehicle (additional fees may apply for private use beyond scheduled programs).

Our Casita homes are ideal for active seniors and include high-end finishes, side by side washer and dryer, and an attached garage.  Our spacious common areas include an outdoor dining patio and a saline swimming pool with hot tub.  MorningStar’s staff handles all of the maintenance, both inside and out along with twice monthly housekeeping.  The base rent includes two meals per day, continental breakfast in the Clubhouse and a chef prepared meal in our beautiful dining room in the main building.

Along with our beautiful surroundings, MorningStar at Golden Ridge offers a variety of Life Enrichment programs, including fitness, social, enrichment, recreational and wellness, primarily held in the Clubhouse. Activities are centered around the interests and hobbies of residents with a full monthly calendar that has something for everyone. Whether you want to attend an exercise class, play cards or a board game, get a haircut, or catch a movie, MorningStar gives you the chance to do it all on-site. 

Our senior living community also offers the security of predictable budgeting, which allows you to know just what your monthly expenses will be as most are included in your monthly fee.  It also solves another problem many seniors face - loneliness.  As we age, older adults can have difficulty getting out and about, and may be at risk for losing social ties and developing health problems that come with loneliness.  MorningStar at Golden Ridge offers the advantage of a private Casita and the chance to socialize whenever you choose with built-in companionship. 

Furthermore, while our operating license does not permit us to extend care to those in our independent living neighborhood, we can arrange for home health agencies to serve you, if the need arises.  In addition, you will get priority placement (subject to availability) if you need to move into our assisted living or memory care.  Please visit our website to learn more.

The unique mission statement of MorningStar at Golden Ridge, “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 senior living in the area.
