At Our Senior Living Community, We Think “Love is Contagious”

Despite the coronavirus outbreak throughout the country and the world, MorningStar at Golden Ridge’s residents and team members are staying strong. While we have temporarily closed our community to all non-essential visitors and vendors for the safety of all inside our home, we are cheered by the incredibly encouraging supports from residents’ families and our surrounding community.  Each homemade poster held up to the window, every thoughtful email sent in the wee hours, and calls of faith and courage do much to sustain us in the fight against COVID-19 and help keep up the spirits up residents and team member alike.

We have no higher responsibility than that of the Safety and Security of our residents, families and team members, and have implemented protocols and procedures following guideline –and in some cases exceeding them- from the CDC, American Senior Housing Association and Federal government.  This includes checking staff temperatures at the start and the close of their shift, having unwell team members stay home when unwell, and conducting mandatory training for all team member on infection control with a heightened emphasis on hand sanitation. 

In terms of community cleaning, we have ordered extra inventory of disinfectant and related cleaning supplies.  In addition for the time being, we have eliminated communal dining and assisted living residents receive meal in their suite (there are a few exceptions) and memory care residents eat as usual but spaced apart from one another. 

The MorningStar at Golden Ridge’s team understands the worry of our residents and their families, which is why we send regular updates whenever new developments or protocols dictate.  Currently we are safely accepting new residents and are confident in our Covid-19 protocols to keep all those beneath our roof safe.  Our community has 38 Casitas for independent living, 65 suites for assisted living, and 35 secure suites devoted to the individualized care of residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. 

MorningStar at Golden Ridge’s distinct mission statement “to honor, to serve, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living options.  Our foundation is built on honoring God, valuing our seniors and hiring staff with a felt calling to serve.  We are in a warm, loving environment with exceptional architecture and resort-style amenities.  Please visit our website to learn more about trusted independent living & assisted living in the Phoenix area.
