MorningStar of Beaverton is Staying Strong

Despite the coronavirus outbreak throughout the country and the world, MorningStar of Beaverton residents and team members are staying strong. While we have temporarily closed our assisted living facility to all non-essential visitors and vendors for the safety of all inside our home, we are cheered by the incredibly encouraging support 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 of residents and team members 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 guidelines –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, and conducting mandatory training for all team members 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 meals in their suite (there are a few exceptions) and memory care residents eat as usual but spaced apart from one another. 

The MorningStar of Beaverton 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 offers 66 suites for assisted living and 38 secure suites devoted to the individualized care of residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. 

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.
