Memory Care San Jose: Specialized Through a Lavender Sky

It can be a very difficult day when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Families often question what the future will look like. Not only for them, but for their loved one, as well. Fear is often associated around a memory loss diagnosis, and it can be easy to fall into rumination of worry, distrust, and anxiety. MorningStar Memory Care Facility at West Valley is a specially designed assisted living community that offers an environment focused on dementia care and improving quality of life through a holistic approach called, “Lavender Sky.”

At MorningStar West Valley, our mantra, “Lavender Sky,” is the exploration within a memory loss diagnosis, such as Alzheimer’s. Embracing the diagnosis, instead of being fearful of it, allows caretakers to expand their knowledge and understanding of what it means to have Alzheimer’s and how to better care for our residents. Through a “Lavender Sky,” we vow to be a leading community for memory care and dementia care. In doing so, we connect more with our residents and provide better, personalized care in an extraordinary way.

Using holistic methods such as music, art, dance, aromatherapy, and animals, allows us to thoughtfully “enter, embrace, and explore” the world of dementia.  Regardless of the extent of the memory loss, we know the essence of the person remains, and our job is to connect with and nurture that essence as we put our energies toward finding ways to celebrate and elevate life. As a leading memory care facility dedicated to dementia care, we understand that treating the unique person is more beneficial than treating the illness. Everyone handles their diagnosis differently and each resident requires a different level of care or supervision.

A New Morningstar Community in San Jose, CA

While MorningStar may be new to San Jose, MorningStar Senior Living has been serving seniors for over 18 years.  We have 40+ communities operating or under construction throughout the Western U.S. including MorningStar at West Valley, opening later this year in San Jose, and Casa Sandoval in Hayward. We are proud of the reputation our homes have earned with residents and their families alike and would like to introduce you to the new MorningStar of San Jose, due to open in June 2023. 

MorningStar’s Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger, began MorningStar Senior Living after 15 years of executive leadership experience and close observation of the senior housing industry, which he found lacking in the human touch. His mission was to establish a brand of senior living rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, which re-created his grandmother’s house, “a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.”

Thus began Mr. Jaeger’s life’s work to “cast a new light” on senior living, inspired and empowered by a three-pillared mission upon which MorningStar remains grounded: 

• Honor God in our business practices and relationships

• Value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals

• Invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well

To continue these goals, MorningStar of San Jose is putting together a team of individuals with big hearts who understand it is a privilege to serve seniors. Each team member is trained in our brand standard of Service Excellence we call Radiance, and guides how we want to deliver service – with warmth and sincerity and depth. 

The San Jose assisted living and memory care community is designed to provide seniors with everything they want and need in a retirement home. Along with impressive architectural design elements, an array of luxury amenities and hospitality services and 5-star dining; our home offers Individualized Service Plans for the activities of daily living (ADLs) to help maintain our residents’ independence.  

While MorningStar is founded on Judeo-Christian principles, we welcome residents and team members of all faiths and worldviews. Our community offers 69 assisted living suites and another 34 suites devoted to those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of memory impairment. Located in West San Jose, long-time area residents can continue to comfortably live in familiar surroundings or near loved ones. Contact us today and be sure to ask about our Founders Club Specials.

MorningStar takes tremendous pride in the reputation we have earned for excellence and authenticity since our inception in 2003.  We believe the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless; and we act upon that truth daily, as we care for, inspire, and love the residents under our roof.
