Do You Feel as We Do that Seniors are Heroes?

September 24, 2019 by MorningStar

The senior living communities of MorningStar of Idaho Falls, MorningStar of Boise, and MorningStar at Englefield Green provide loving service to area seniors based on the belief that seniors are true heroes and deserve to be honored and respected.   We recognize that our residents are wise men and women who have experienced a lifetime of triumphs and trials, and with raw courage and tenacity, have lived truly inspiring lives.  

Our seniors have been witnessed to or been a part of many of history’s most significant events such as world wars to the development of the world-wide web and more.  At MorningStar we also believe that the human capacity to grow and to change is ageless, and that our residents have much to teach us if we just take the time to listen.  

If you too are drawn to the idea of serving seniors, we invite you to visit our website to see the full list of available assisted living jobs in Boise and Idaho Falls’ beautiful MorningStar senior living communities.  While our job opportunities are varied and each has its own educational requirements and skill set, all require individuals with virtues such as kindness, character and selflessness.  In addition our assisted living jobs are true careers with competitive wages and comprehensive benefits as well as the opportunity for advancement as we promote from within whenever possible. 

Please consider joining our family of compassionate service professionals and help us to provide seniors with the life they deserve.  We have been intentional and articulate about the kind of culture want to build - one in which you will thrive personally and professionally.   A career serving others will most likely make our own life more meaningful and joyful; and as MorningStar likes to say, “When you hang with heroes, you may just become one yourself!”

At the MorningStar communities of Idaho Falls, Boise & Englefield Green, our distinct mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  With a foundation built on honoring God and valuing all seniors, we are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve seniors. If you wish to make a difference in the world, please apply to one of our assisted living jobs at Boise and Idaho Falls’ senior living communities.

Join a Service Team Guided by Sincerity, Depth of Purpose & Warmth

It also reminds us that adopting a selfless attitude is a habit that needs to be cultivated, which is why we reiterate it precepts daily with our Daily Huddle.  In addition each team member carries a Radiance Culture Care with our Vision, Mission, Core Values and Radiance principles clearly stated. All of this enables team members to better understand our residents’ unmet needs, to read body language and to nurture connections as we recognize the effect our service has on the lives of seniors.

Recruiting Big Hearts to Fill a Variety of Assisted Living Jobs

September 15, 2019 by MorningStar

Do you have a felt calling to serve and love the idea of hanging out with seniors?  If so you may be just the person we need. At MorningStar Senior Living, our team selection process starts by seeking people with great hearts.   From there we look for character and kindness and selflessness, as we know these attributes contribute as much as education and experience in building a team that serves with distinction.    

You will find that working in senior living has many benefits.  All you need to do is to ask our staff! As one team member writes, “People always ask me why I love my job so much. For me it’s not always about money, but the difference you can make in someone’s life. MorningStar has done so much for me in the short time I have been here. Not only am I changing residents’ lives, but they are changing mine.”  Recent studies even suggest that serving others and developing high quality relationships may be the answer to living a more purposeful, meaningful life. 

Our goal at MorningStar is to create a work environment where life is enriched, stories are shared and lives are cherished. As a team member, you will be encouraged to get to know our residents as you help build our MorningStar family.  To see this love in action, please take a look at our Twice the Story video series that features the tender relationships between our residents and team members throughout our MorningStar communities. 

Communities currently recruiting to fill various assisted living jobs are MorningStar of Sparks in Nevada and MorningStar of Billing in Montana and include care managers, cooks, medication care managers/QMAPs and more.  In Oregon two of our newer communities, MorningStar of Beaverton and MorningStar of Happy Valley are currently in the process of putting together their teams and have various assisted living jobs available including Wellness Directors and Business Managers, among others.  MorningStar at Jordan Creek currently does not have any open positions but check back with us frequently.   

MorningStar Senior Living’s unique mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  We are committed to a foundation built upon honoring God and valuing all seniors, and are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve seniors.  If you wish to thrive professionally and personally, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for a listing of our assisted living jobs.

Radiance Training Helps You Grow Professionally & Personally

September 15, 2019 by MorningStar

Please let us introduce you to a special group of senior living communities.

One of the ways we have taken service to the next level is by providing each employee, regardless of their role, training in our service initiative we call Radiance, which is much more than a customer service program.  Rather it celebrates an attitude of selflessness that issues from a deep and sincere place, like a beam of light, and is used to guide the way we deliver service - with warmth, depth and sincerity.   

Moreover Radiance is a tangible way to fulfill a part of our mission statement that reads: to invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well; with a commitment to hiring and retaining employees who use creative minds and compassionate hearts to serve residents.  As one team member explains, “Through Radiance Training I was introduced to my new personal mission: to love everyone unconditionally and be a humble servant. I want to use the principles of Radiance to honor God, and to rise up new culture and positive environments.”  

Currently we are seeking individuals with “Great Hearts” to apply to various assisted living jobs in Colorado Springs’, Fort Collins, and Boulder.  Check out our website for a complete list of job openings and job descriptions.  Also while at our website, please take a look at our “Twice the Story” video series that showcases the tender relationships between residents and team members throughout our MorningStar communities.

MorningStar’s Medication Care Managers Help Keep Our Residents Safe

September 11, 2019 by MorningStar

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that adults 65 years and older are more than twice as likely as younger persons to end up in the emergency room due to an ADE (an adverse drug event).  They are also seven times more likely to be admitted to the hospital. The problem, according to a recent study from the National Institute of Health, stems from the fact that “40% of seniors aged 65 and older take five or more prescription medications, and 90% take at least one prescription.” Moreover it found as many as 55% of those seniors take their medications incorrectly.  

At our Colorado MorningStar of Mountain Shadows, MorningStar at Bear Creek, MorningStar of Fort Collins and MorningStar of Boulder senior living communities, seniors’ wellbeing and safety is our first priority.  This is why one of the services we offer is medication management.  Our medication care managers/QMAPs are responsible for dispensing medications to our residents and are meticulous when it comes to documentation.  

As a medication care manager, duties will include administering and documenting regularly prescribed medications per the Medication Administration Record along with observing the five rights for safe administering of medications and per physician orders.  You will also be responsible for ordering meds from the pharmacy when and as prescribed 7 days prior to running out of meds, and as requested by the Wellness Director, to ensure that residents always have medications available.  

Currently our communities have openings for medication care managers/QMAPs as well as positions for care managers, wellness nurses and more.  These are all rewarding careers and offer competitive wages and comprehensive benefits. We also provide training and on-going support to ensure your success.  While each of our homes are beautifully designed and offer luxury amenities, the thing we are most proud of is the love found beneath our roof. Please visit our website to learn more. 

At MorningStar’s Mountain Shadows, Bear Creek, Boulder and Fort Collins communities, our unique mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  With a foundation built on honoring God and valuing all seniors, we are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve.

A Career that Allows You to Make a Difference in the World!

August 25, 2019 by MorningStar

How many of us are lucky enough to have a career where we can truly make a difference in the world by improving the quality of someone else’s life, and at the same time, receive profound feelings of love on a daily basis?  At our MorningStar of Idaho Falls, MorningStar of Boise and MorningStar at Englefield Green senior living communities, our residents teach the rest of us how to live by reminding us that life’s deepest satisfaction is found when we give ourselves in service to others.  And the blessings are boundless!  

Studies even support the fact that helping others can have a positive effect on our mental health and wellbeing.  However, while recent research shows serving others reduces stress as well as improves one’s mood, self-esteem and happiness, the belief that helping others can help us find meaning in life is not a new one.  Over two thousand years ago, Greek philosopher, Aristotle, wrote that the path to happiness and fulfillment is achieved “by loving rather than in being loved.”    

At MorningStar we are blessed to have a compassionate team that feels privileged to serve and love making a difference in the lives of our wonderful residents.  For example one team explains why her job is so special. “For me it’s not always about money, but the difference you can make in someone’s life. MorningStar has done so much for me in the short time I have been here. Not only am I changing residents’ lives, but they are changing mine.”  

Another thing that makes working at our Idaho senior living communities so fulfilling is regardless of your position, you are an essential part of the team and the success of our community.   If you have a felt calling to serve, please apply to one of our posted assisted living jobs at MorningStar of Idaho Falls, MorningStar of Boise and MorningStar at Englefield Green.  Our positions are varied including experience and educational requirements but all need individuals with big hearts.  Jobs include care managers, medication care managers/QMAPs, cooks, dining room servers, wellness nurses, housekeepers and more.  Visit our website to apply.  

At the MorningStar communities of Idaho Falls, Boise & Englefield Green, our distinct mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  With a foundation built on honoring God and valuing all seniors, we are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve seniors. If you are seeking a rewarding career, please consider applying to one of our assisted living jobs at Idaho’s MorningStar senior living communities.

A Workplace Where Kindness & Selflessness is a Job Requirement!

August 22, 2019 by MorningStar

At MorningStar of Idaho Falls, MorningStar of Boise and MorningStar at Englefield Green, one of the first things we look for when recruiting new team members are people with “Great Hearts.”  While we know being nice doesn’t usually make the list of the best ways to conduct business, we think it should. We recognize that simple acts of kindness have the power to inspire and nurture the type of culture we wish to create and are just as important as education and experience in building a distinguished team of service professionals.  

We believe our job is to compassionately care for the residents of our communities and to ensure they are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.  We also recognize that the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless. Thus we are committed to casting a new light on senior living, and our team members are encouraged to build warm, genuine connections with one another as well as our resident-families.  

MorningStar also believes it is important that our homes be beacons of decency where good manners and polite conversations are alive and well.  Our actions are guided by Radiance, MorningStar’s service excellence initiative that gives us a tangible and purposeful way to advance our mission of honoring, valuing and investing in others.  It teaches our team how to deliver service – with depth of purpose, warmth and sincerity; and is how we understand our residents’ unmet needs and nurture loving connections. 

Idaho’s MorningStar communities are true homes distinguished by compassion, laughter and dignity.  While each one is beautifully decorated and offers an array of resort-style amenities and services; we are most proud of our dedicated team.  Presently we are recruiting individuals with a felt calling to serve to fill various assisted living jobs including care managers, dining room servers, housekeepers, nurses, and more. Please visit our website’s Career page for a complete list of jobs, detailed descriptions and online applications.

Rewarding Jobs that Make a Difference in Seniors’ Lives & Our Own!

August 22, 2019 by MorningStar

At MorningStar, we often find that people who are new to senior living are genuinely surprised to discover just how rewarding and fulfilling the career is as well as the unforeseen benefits it offers.  One thing frequently mentioned by those working with seniors is the many lessons they learn that make a lasting impression on their own lives.    

Seniors’ longevity means they have no doubt lived through both good times and bad, and many have had interesting careers and come from a variety of backgrounds.  Also by the time someone reaches their advanced years, they most likely have acquired real wisdom to know what is truly important in life and listening to their stories is very inspirational.  In addition as we get to know and understand their histories, we develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them and their families.  

While serving seniors, you are sure to get a new outlook on aging and have a better understanding of what people go through in the aging process.  Our elders understand that life does not remain the same but has its ups as well as downs, which has taught them how to face the difficult trials life brings with it.  They have also made sacrifices that we cannot even imagine as most have lived through world wars, economic depressions and other challenges. With this wealth of knowledge and unique perspective, seniors love having people around who are willing to listen to stories about their broad and varied life experiences.  

At MorningStar of Santa Fe, MorningStar of Rio Rancho and MorningStar of Albuquerque, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of seniors and seek like-minded people to help us achieve our mission.  If you have a felt calling to serve, we invite you to discover the joys of working in a supportive environment with the goal of providing the best quality of care to our residents. Please visit our website for a full listing of assisted living jobs, job descriptions and online applications.  

At MorningStar of Albuquerque, MorningStar of Santa Fe and MorningStar of Rio Rancho, our unique mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  We are committed to a foundation built upon honoring God and valuing all seniors, and are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve seniors. If you would like to serve, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for information on assisted living jobs in New Mexico.

As a MorningStar caregiver, you will join a team of service professionals who feel privileged to serve seniors and recognize that they are true heroes who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.  Our caregivers are the heartbeat of our communities and without their dedication and hard work; we would not be able to provide the service excellence our brand demands! Job duties include providing loving care to cherished residents to ensure their comfort, safety and wellbeing. 

Moreover, unlike many caregiver jobs where the bottom line means rushing to serve as many people as possible, making it difficult to even get to know those you serve, MorningStar is different!  At our senior living communities, care managers are encouraged to build strong, meaningful relationships with our residents as they assist them with activities of daily living.  Also they enjoy working with a caring team in a family-like environment. In addition MorningStar caregivers are supported and encouraged to share creative solutions to help improve the lives of our residents as well as assist in the development and review of their care plans.

“Radiance” Celebrates an Attitude of Selflessness

August 14, 2019 by MorningStar

At the MorningStar senior living communities, our goal is to meet a resident’s social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs by creating comfortable loving homes.  To help us achieve this, we have assembled a distinguished team of individuals who are committed to making a difference in the world with purpose-driven, servant-minded leadership.  

In addition to an exceptional staff, MorningStar’s commitment to delivering the very best service starts with our proprietary initiative we call “Radiance.”  In all began when MorningStar’s Founder/CEO Ken Jaeger was struck by the exemplary service he received at lunch one day by an attentive and mindful waitress. It occurred to him that what better setting was there for excellent service than at a senior living community – a dwelling place for heroes.  Radiance is the result of that encounter and is used to guide the way we deliver service – with sincerity and depth of purpose. 

In fact we believe so strongly in the value of Radiance that all team members receive training in it regardless of their role in the community; and its precepts are reiterated on a daily basis.  Just listen to the transformation one team member describes regarding her training. “Through Radiance training, I was introduced to my new personal mission: to love everyone unconditionally and be a humble servant. I want to use the principles of Radiance to honor God, and to rise up new culture and positive environments.” 

If you have a felt calling to serve, we invite you to join our MorningStar team.  Our range of assisted living jobs requires various abilities and education, but regardless of the role, each position is instrumental to our success.  Some of our communities with openings include MorningStar at Jordan Creek in Iowa, MorningStar of Billings in Montana, MorningStar of Sparks in Nevada and two homes in Oregon, MorningStar of Beaverton and MorningStar of Happy Valley.  Our assisted living jobs provide rewarding career opportunities for the right individuals.    

MorningStar Senior Living’s unique mission statement: “to honor, to serve, to invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities.  We are committed to a foundation built upon honoring God and valuing all seniors, and are currently recruiting staff with a felt calling to serve seniors.  If you wish to thrive professionally and personally, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for a listing of our assisted living jobs.
