Our Assisted Living Jobs are Diverse and Rewarding

January 25, 2020 by MorningStar

At the MorningStar of Albuquerque, MorningStar of Rio Rancho and MorningStar of Santa Fe senior living communities, our team members feel honored to serve and intuitively understand that if anyone deserves our respect and compassionate care - it is seniors.  They recognize that as part of a distinguished team of service professionals, they provide residents with the care needed to improve quality of life and help restore their feeling of independence.  At the same time, our team members realize their own lives are enhanced through service and welcome the opportunity to work in a loving, family-like environment.

As you can see the type of skills required and educational background varies for each role but with any position, our hiring process starts with by looking for individuals with character, kindness and selflessness.  We know these virtues contribute as much to our communities as does education and experience in helping us create a culture defined less by what we do and more by why we do it. From there, we invest generously in each employee with meaningful training, mentoring, compensation and comprehensive benefits. 

Please visit our website’s Career page to follow links to assisted living jobs – Santa Fe as well as assisted living jobs - Albuquerque & Rio Rancho.  Following the words of 1 Peter 4:10 - “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”  Please join our MorningStar family!

Work at a Place Where Kindness is a Job Requirement!

January 22, 2020 by MorningStar

While not many companies put “kindness” on the top of their list of job requirements, the MorningStar senior living communities are proud to do so as we know kindness is one of the character traits that help provide the kind of care our brand is built on.  Our team of kind, big hearted individuals understands the magnitude of their service and the impact it has on our residents’ lives.    

In Idaho, our three gorgeous MorningStar homes, MorningStar of Boise, MorningStar of Idaho Falls and MorningStar at Englefield Green, provide high-quality, compassionate independent living, assisted living and memory care to area seniors.  As one team member explains, “Life is a blessing,” and we at MorningStar have the honor to help residents elevate life every day.”  Another team member says “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.” 

To see the love going on under our roofs, we invite you to visit our website and take a look at our Twice the Story video series that beautifully illustrates the tender relationships that bloom between our team members and residents.  We believe these loving friendships testify to the fact that we need to lean upon and lean into each other—that each might receive a blessing, that each might be served, and that each might come away changed! 

Currently we have posted assisted living jobs in our Boise and Idaho Falls’ communities.  These include: care managers, concierges, cooks, dining room servers, housekeepers, medication care managers/QMAPs, and a Wellness Director/RN.    All of our positions require people with big hearts and the type of men and women who willingly go the extra mile to meet our residents’ expressed needs (even their unexpressed ones).  Visit MorningStar’s Career page for the full list of openings in MorningStar of Boise, MorningStar at Englefield Green and MorningStar of Idaho Falls’ communities.   

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.

Why Should You Choose to Serve at a MorningStar Community?

January 20, 2020 by MorningStar

You may think that all senior living communities are pretty much the same but we beg to differ.  At New Mexico’s MorningStar of Albuquerque, MorningStar of Rio Ranch, and MorningStar of Santa Fe, our homes are operated based on the founding principles, values and mission of the MorningStar Company.  Our Mission statement reads to: honor God in our business practices and relationships; value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals; and invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well.  

We also have an unusual Vision statement that reads: In pursuit of excellence, MorningStar resolves to be a company of servant-minded, purpose-driven leaders in our senior communities and throughout the world.  In addition our core values include: love, respect, honesty, fairness, goodness, and kindness, and guide the way we wish to deliver service and helps to foster the type of culture we are striving to create in our homes. 

With the variety of open assisted living jobs in our Santa Fe and Albuquerque communities, there is sure to be something for you.  Whether it is working directly with our residents as a care manager or medication care manager, serving delicious meals with a smile as a food server, or helping to keep our homes looking spotless in the role of housekeeper, you will find it at MorningStar.  As we are true homes and operate 24/7, our careers are diverse and require a wide breath of skills, experience or education.

Do You Long to Make a Difference in the World?

January 15, 2020 by MorningStar

As we approach not only a New Year but a new decade, rather than make a typical New Year’s Resolution such as losing weight or exercising more, why not resolve to make a change in your professional life.  If you are currently in a career that does not serve others, maybe it is time to pursue a position that allows you to make a difference in someone else’s life such as working in senior living.    

A study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior found that service to others can “increase happiness, life satisfaction, self-esteem, sense of control over life, physical health, and help fight against depression.”  A job serving others also typically includes working with a group of people who share your values and intuitively understand it is a privilege to serve others. It can offer opportunities to learn new things, develop new skills that can be applied to many career paths, and to work as a team.  Serving others will most likely introduce you to a wide range of interesting people.

At the MorningStar senior living communities, our goal is to build a team of service professionals who feel called and connected, and understand the importance of investing in each other and our resident-families.  In addition we encourage our team members to explore their unique talents and reach their fullest potential. Also career advancement is common at our MorningStar homes as we try to promote from within when possible.  And as part of our MorningStar staff, you will most certainly enjoy working as a team and building relationships with fellow team members, residents, and visitors.

Currently MorningStar is recruiting individuals with a felt calling to serve to fill a variety of assisted living jobs in West Des Moines, IA; Billings, MT; Sparks, NV and several other communities.  Open positions include care managers, medication care managers, dining room servers, cooks and more. Visit our website for a full list of openings, job descriptions and an online application.     

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 serve, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for a listing of assisted living jobs in Beaverton and Happy Valley, OR; as well as other communities.

The New Year is the Perfect Time for New Beginnings

January 14, 2020 by MorningStar

When speaking to MorningStar team members or to outside groups, MorningStar’s Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger inspires others to serve with words that go something like this: “Don’t wait to serve. Serve now. Today. Get involved somewhere. It will make you a better person (and if you work for MorningStar, a better team member). Don’t wait until your children are grown. Don’t wait until you retire. Give now, give generously. And just see what happens. For you cannot out-give God.”   

MorningStar Senior Living was started over 15 years ago by Ken who was born and raised on a large multi-generational farm in the Midwest along with his 11 siblings.  He says this is where he was taught the lessons of economy, diligence, and hard work. After a long career in senior living, Ken saw the need for senior housing that was defined by the human touch; and envisioned senior living that would “re-create my grandmother’s house, a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.”

Today we feel our MorningStar communities are just that – a large, loving family.  However, we know we could not do it without the help of our dedicated team.  This is why we seek individuals with a felt calling to serve to fill various assisted living jobs in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Boulder’s gorgeous communities.    

While founded on Judeo-Christian values, we are comfortable speaking about God and His protections, blessings and aid throughout our homes but we wholeheartedly welcome all faiths and world views.  Please take to heart the words the following words, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10:  The New Year is the perfect time to ignite your passion for serving others and to join a team of distinguished service professionals!  

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. For a rewarding career, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for a link to assisted living jobs in Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and Boulder.

Would You Like to Join a Team of Servant-minded Leaders?

January 13, 2020 by MorningStar

Our gorgeous MorningStar senior living communities include MorningStar of Beaverton and MorningStar of Happy Valley in Oregon; MorningStar at Jordan Creek in West Des Moines, IA; MorningStar of Billings in Billings, MT; and MorningStar of Sparks in Sparks, NV.  All of these communities are part of a unique senior living company of servant-minded, purpose-driven leaders committed to making a difference in our local communities as well as around the world.  

While the concept is timeless, the phrase “servant leadership” was coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in an essay that was first published in 1970 entitled The Servant as Leader.  In it he writes “The servant-leader is servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead.”  Greenleaf continues by explaining that a servant-leader is vastly different from a person who is a leader first as their goal may include acquiring power or material possessions.  

Thus a servant-first individual is committed to seeing to it that other people’s needs are being served.  At the MorningStar senior living communities, we strive to do just that and feel it is our privilege - our calling to serve.    

If you love the idea of serving seniors, and feel as we do that they are the most heroic, wise and fascinating segment of our society, we have opportunities that allow you to build a fulfilling career.  Our positions vary as to both skills and educational requirements but all of our roles are essential to the smooth operation of our homes and each team member is a valuable part of our success.   We invite you to visit MorningStar’s website and take a look around at all of the great things going on in our communities as well as at the various posted assisted living jobs in West Des Moines, Sparks, Billings and our other senior living communities.   

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.  For a fulfilling career, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for a full list of assisted living jobs at Sparks, Beaverton, Happy Valley and our other communities.

MorningStar Team Members Get Back Much More than They Give!

January 11, 2020 by MorningStar

At MorningStar’s senior living communities, you will discover our beautiful residential homes are notable for their compassionate care and service professionalism.  We are honored to have a team of dedicated individuals working in our homes that take great joy in making someone else’s life better; and who see our residents as heroes—men and women who have faced life’s trials and triumphs with grace, raw courage and tenacity.    

Many of our newly hired team members are surprised to learn that serving seniors can be fun and surprised to find that they are not only changing our residents’ lives for the better but their own as well.  They tell us they are amazed at how much they learn from our residents including reminding them of what is most important in life.  As one team member relates, “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.” A quote from Mahatma Gandhi reinforces that thought with the following words, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”  

Presently we are recruiting individuals to fill a variety of assisted living jobs in Beaverton and Happy Valley, OR’s beautiful MorningStar communities as well as in our West Des Moines home.  We are an equal opportunity employer and our homes proudly boast a culturally diverse workforce.

Serving Others Can Increase Your Happiness, Health, and Well-Being

December 30, 2019 by MorningStar

Studies have shown that serving others can benefit you including lengthening your lifespan and helping you to better manage stress and anxiety.  Researchers have found that people who participate in activities that improve the lives of others generally express an increased satisfaction in their own lives.

At MorningStar senior living communities, we often talk about how much better many of our residents feel when they move into one of our communities; and one reason why is they love having a more robust social life.  However you may not have thought that working in a place that serves others such as senior living is also good for your own social life but it will certainly open you up to meeting lots of other interesting people.  

In another study, researchers discovered that doing good works can be contagious.  In other words, when one person performs a good deed it often encourages other to do likewise and can have a ripple effect throughout an entire community.  We think that goes on a lot at our MorningStar communities.  Helping others also has been shown to give people a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives.  

While our postings for assisted living jobs in our Boise and Idaho Falls communities are diverse as they include caregivers, housekeepers, food servers, cooks and more, the one thing they all have in common is serving others.  Moreover as MorningStar’s homes operate 24/7, our postings include a variety of shifts as well as full and part-time positions. We also know that our team is the heartbeat of our communities and we could not provide the service excellence our brand demands without them.  Thus we are pleased to pay competitive wages and offer each employee comprehensive healthcare plans that include medical, vision, and dental as well as vacation, sick and holiday pay.  

Please visit our website to learn more about our communities, our jobs and what the MorningStar Company is all about.  Follow the link on our Career page to Assisted Living Jobs – Boise and Englefield Green and the link to Assisted Living Jobs – Idaho Falls for a full list of rewarding career opportunities.  

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.

Want to Come to Work with a Smile on Your Face?

December 25, 2019 by MorningStar

As we read about world events each day, it can leave us feeling depressed about the hardships and desperate needs of people across the globe.  Many of us respond by sending money to charitable causes or volunteering for a project in our community. However if you have been longing to make a more impactful, lasting change in the world, we invite you to consider working in senior living.  

The MorningStar Senior Living Company has senior living communities scattered throughout the Western U.S. including right here in Idaho.  All of our homes specialize in creating a culture that promotes a healthy, engaged lifestyle for our residents, while providing security and independence.  Idaho’s three communities include MorningStar of Idaho Falls, MorningStar of Boise, and MorningStar at Englefield Green also in Boise.   

While you may not have thought about it before, many MorningStar team members happily relate stories of how surprised they are to discover their own lives improve for the better when serving our residents.  To see the love in action, just watch our Twice the Story video series that showcases the tender relationships that develop between residents and team members in our MorningStar communities. We believe these friendships testify to the fact that we need to lean upon and lean into each other (regardless of our age), and that each might receive a blessing, each might be served, and that each might come away changed. 

Our assisted living jobs are rewarding careers and even offer opportunities for advancement as we promote from within the company whenever possible.  Moreover whether you join our team as a MorningStar housekeeper, care manager, coordinator, food server, or Director, we consider you to be a valuable member of our team.   

We feel it is our privilege – our calling to serve and if you wish to join us, please visit MorningStar’s Career page to find the link to “Assisted Living Jobs – Boise & Englefield Green or the link to Assisted Living Jobs - Idaho Falls.  Here you will find open positions, job descriptions, and an online application.

Looking to Make a Change in the New Year? How About a Commitment to Serve?

December 24, 2019 by MorningStar

With the New Year fast approaching, it is the perfect time to reflect on our lives and the direction we are going as we look toward the future.  In term of a New Year’s resolution, why not think about what you can do next year to make someone else’s life better? Moreover that commitment will most likely end up making your own life fuller, richer.   

Throughout the ages, philosophers and religious leaders alike have praised the merits of helping others.  Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, "Somewhere along the way, we must learn that there is nothing greater than to do something for others."   Moreover an old Chinese saying goes something like this: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”  Even scientific research has found data to support anecdotal evidence that giving is a powerful pathway to personal growth and lasting happiness.

At New Mexico’s MorningStar of Rio Rancho, MorningStar of Santa Fe, and MorningStar of Albuquerque, we feel it is a privilege to serve seniors and seek like-minded people to help us achieve our mission.  As MorningStar’s Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger says when speaking to others about living a life of selfless giving: “Don’t wait to serve. Serve now. Today. Get involved somewhere. It will make you a better person (and if you work for MorningStar, a better team member). Don’t wait until your children are grown. Don’t wait until you retire. Give now, give generously. And just see what happens. For you cannot out-give God.”

If you have a felt calling to serve, we invite you to discover the rewards of working in a supportive environment and to join us in making a difference in the life of a senior.  Please visit our website for a full listing of MorningStar’s assisted living jobs in Santa Fe and the Albuquerque area.  

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.

Watch Relational Stories Directly from Our Team Members & Residents

December 15, 2019 by MorningStar

The MorningStar senior living communities are committed to providing the ultimate environment for the wellbeing of seniors.  We feel privileged to serve our cherished residents as well as blessed to have the opportunity to receive the deep satisfaction we get when doing so.  Our vision includes extending service beyond our MorningStar communities by supporting important causes here at home such as the Alzheimer’s Association and other project across the globe.    

We are also proud of the fact that our homes have earned the trust of our residents and their families as well as the local communities they serve.  The following is an account of a family’s interactions with the MorningStar of Billings’ community. They write, “My mother has been a resident of MorningStar of Billings for the past year and a half. Although initially wary of making a move like this, she is very happy. The staff is engaging and kind. There are numerous activities for the residents, and the facility is always clean. The quality of her life has improved dramatically. She’s made lots of friends, and is much more active than she was before. I highly recommend MorningStar.”  

In addition our MorningStar team members and residents are featured in the moving and inspiring video series we call “Twice the Stories.”  The videos lovingly demonstrate the bond that is forged between our team members and residents and proves that something Big is going on under our roofs.  These relationships remind us that we are not just living out our own story here but rather to view our work at MorningStar in a larger context…as part of a bigger story with a magnified purpose.
