Once you join our team, you will receive a Culture Card to carry to remind you to deliver service sincerely.  Examples of Radiance guiding principles include building strong, respectful relationships with seniors, their families and fellow team members; and being attentive to the expressed and unexpressed desires of residents and family members.  Our Culture Card also explains we empowered to create personal, memorable and meaningful WOW moments for all those beneath our roof; and to continuous to seek opportunities to innovate and enhance abundant life at MorningStar.

Currently several of our senior living communities including MorningStar at Mountain Shadows, MorningStar at Bear Creek, MorningStar of Fort Collins and MorningStar of Boulder are looking for people with big hearts to fill various roles in our communities.  These include care manager, medication care managers/QMAPs, dining room servers, housekeepers and more.

Our Homes have a Culture Distinguished by Benevolence & Collaboration

February 28, 2020 by MorningStar

We know it is unusual for a company to consider virtues such as kindness, character and selflessness to be required qualifications for new hires.  At the MorningStar senior living communities, we are just such a company.  After all, we have seen time and time again that simple acts of kindness can inspire and nurture a culture worth talking about, which is exactly what we are striving to build in each of our communities.  

It all started in 2003, when Founder/CEO Ken Jaeger wanted to build senior housing defined by the human touch.  His vision was to create true homes for its residents that felt like Ken’s grandmother’s house, “a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.”  He also was guided by his 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.”   These profound words are yet another way we distinguish ourselves from other senior living communities.  

If you have a desire to serve, we invite you to consider working for one of the country’s finest senior living companies.  Currently our beautiful homes in New Mexico, which include MorningStar of Albuquerque, MorningStar of Santa Fe, and MorningStar of Rio Rancho, are all recruiting individuals with a felt calling to serve to join our team.  Our assisted living jobs in Santa Fe include care managers, concierge (full-time), executive chef, and medication care managers. Openings at our Rio Rancho community include full and part-time care managers and a medication care manager.  Our posted assisted living jobs in Albuquerque include care managers and a med tech.

Please visit our website’s Career page for all of our job listings, detailed job descriptions, and a convenient online application.  Regardless of which position you apply for, all of the roles within our residential homes require individuals with big hearts who love the idea of serving seniors.

February 27, 2020 by MorningStar

Our dedicated MorningStar care managers provide assistance to our incredible residents that improve their quality of life and help to give them back their independence.  A caregiver’s duties include assisting residents with the activities of daily living such as grooming, bathing, eating, etc. They also support residents’ participation in occupational and physical therapies and other rehabilitative measures that actively promote the mind and body.

Our care managers enjoy working alongside a supportive team made up of other dedicated, loving individuals.  MorningStar team members are also encouraged to share creative solutions that help improve our residents’ lives as well as have opportunities to advance their own careers with meaningful training and mentoring.  As a service professional, you will take part in leadership responsibilities such as orientating new resident care managers and helping to develop and review residents’ care plan in conjunction with other disciplines.  

Our New Mexico MorningStar communities are proud to be part of a company that attributes it success and growth to God’s grace and to staying true to a mission of servant-leadership.  Thus we seek men and women who understand that Senior Living, at its best, is love in action.

Assisted Living is a Rewarding Career Choice

February 26, 2020 by MorningStar

Once you have had the chance to see what life is like inside the gorgeous senior living communities of MorningStar of Idaho Falls, MorningStar of Boise, and MorningStar at Englefield Green, you will be pleasantly surprised.  This is because our communities are not the depressing old people’s homes of the past, but true homes filled with love and laughter amid a vibrant culture.  As we tell potential residents, their families, and employees, our beautiful architectural designs, resort-style amenities, and wellness programs always impress, but what we are most proud of is our compassionate, loving team of service professionals.    

Along with providing quality care for residents that allows them to become more independent in their daily lives with meaningful physical, mental, spiritual and social activities, we also offer the ultimate environment for our employees to thrive.  In fact part of our Mission statement is “to invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well.” 

Our assisted living jobs in Boise and Idaho Falls’ MorningStar communities are purposeful, rewarding careers that foster professional and personal growth.  When you join the MorningStar family, from day one, you are treated as a valuable member of the team and encouraged to use your unique talents to help improve care for our residents as well as to reach your full potential.  

Moreover we feel honored to be part of a company founded on principles of servant-minded, purpose-driven leadership that focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong.  As you may know, this is in contrast to traditional leadership that generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top of the pyramid.”  As MorningStar’s Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger, explains, “Leadership is not about power, it’s not about control. It’s about helping people follow a vision. It’s about painting a picture of culture and values, then encouraging other to walk alongside that canvas toward a common goal.”  Please consider applying to one of our assisted living jobs at Boise’s two communities or at MorningStar of Idaho Falls.   

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.

Looking for More Meaning in Your Life?

February 26, 2020 by MorningStar

If you are drawn to the idea of serving seniors and would love a job with purpose, you are just the type of person we need.  The New Mexico MorningStar assisted living communities, located in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe, have rewarding assisted living jobs waiting to be filled by individuals like you who understand that by serving others we bring more fulfillment and joy into our own lives.  

There is even scientific evidence that appears to support the fact that service is a powerful pathway to personal growth and enduring happiness; and our own team members have firsthand experience.  We suggest you take a look at our video series we call Twice the Story, which showcases the remarkable relationships that develop between our residents and team members.  These short videos effectively tell the MorningStar story such as the one from resident Nick who says, “It was friendship at first sight” when he met team member, Brett, and they both explain how their friendship has only grown from there.     

Another example of how service to others changes us is from another member of our team.  She explains that before she joined the MorningStar family, she had no idea the profound impact our residents would have on her.  Her “story” is about the moving relationship she developed with one of our residents who had the habit of telling her, "ich liebe dich" every time they met.  Not speaking German herself, she looked up the words to discover they meant "I love you." Now whenever the two meet throughout the day, they exchange "ich liebe dich"es to one another, and have formed a special bond.

How many of us can say we have the privileged of working in a job that gives us these types of  loving feelings on a daily basis and actually come to work with a smile on our face? If you are already lucky enough to work in assisted living, you likely understand the magnitude of your contributions to society, and know you are making someone else’s life better, richer.  Please visit our website to see the full list of assisted living jobs in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Santa Fe’s gorgeous assisted living communities.    

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 Santa Fe and the Albuquerque area.

Not Just a Job but a Career with a Purpose

February 15, 2020 by MorningStar

The MorningStar senior living communities are extremely lucky because of the fact that our name, our mission, and our ministry have allowed us to attract a team of extraordinary individuals with a felt calling to serve.  They are men and women who feel privileged to provide seniors with a better quality of life and to help support their independence. They are people committed to building a team that feels called, connected and empowered, and understand the significance of investing in each other as well as our resident-families.

To aid us in building a distinguished team, all new employees receive training in Radiance, our service initiative that celebrates an attitude of selflessness.  Like a beam of light, it issues from a deep, sincere place and is used to guide the way we deliver service at our MorningStar communities – with warmth, sincerity and depth of purpose.  

We also consider Radiance to be a tangible way to fulfill the third part of our mission statement that reads: to invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well, and a commitment to hiring and retaining employees who use creative minds and compassionate hearts to serve residents.  Moreover as MorningStar’s tagline is “Service Becomes Us,” it offers us the perfect way to take service professionalism to the next level.  

One team member writes an open letter to our Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger about Radiance’s value in her service by stating, “Radiance training is absolutely phenomenal! Thank you for investing so much into your company, residents and, especially, team. I appreciate that MorningStar strives not only to help team members be their best at work, but in their personal lives as well. Thank you for caring about our residents as much as we do. Thank you for creating an environment that conveys that. I feel privileged to work here; MorningStar is a part of me. Know that I am praying for you, our leaders and this company daily.”

We invite you to take a look at assisted living jobs in Beaverton and Happy Valley’s beautiful Oregon communities as well as various assisted living jobs in Sparks, Billings, West Des Moines and other homes scattered throughout the Western U.S.  We know it can be difficult to find a job with a higher purpose, but at MorningStar, we not only pay competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and provide meaningful support and training but also offer a way to make a difference in the world.  

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.  Love to have a job with a purpose?

A Caregiver Needs to Be Compassionate

February 14, 2020 by MorningStar

Many of us will come in contact with the act of caregiving in one form or another.  As our former first lady, Rosalynn Carter is quoting as saying, “There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.”  At the MorningStar senior living communities, we seek individuals drawn to the idea of working with seniors to become part of our team of care managers.  

One of the most important attributes of successful caregivers in senior living is to be compassionate.  This is even more important than actual experience as it gives a care manager the ability to empathize with an elderly resident who may be suffering from chronic illnesses and/or other debilitating, health conditions.  An effective caregiver also needs patience as they need to understand that their job is to support the senior’s independence and not just take over a task.   

Many of our residential homes are recruiting care managers and other various positions.  They include MorningStar of Jordan Creek in Iowa; MorningStar of Billings in Billings, MT; and MorningStar of Sparks in Sparks, NV.  Our MorningStar of Beaverton and our new MorningStar of Happy Valley in Oregon are also seeking people with big hearts to fill a variety of assisted living jobs.  

Each of our communities is a true home for our residents as well as a place where our team members can thrive.   If you would love a career you can grow in and be proud of, please consider applying to one of the assisted living jobs in Sparks, NV, Billings, MT and our other communities. While many of our jobs can sometimes be challenging, we often hear team members say they are surprised to discover that forming a relationship with a senior can bring so much joy and meaning to their lives!  Come and work in a caring, supportive family environment.   

At MorningStar of Billings, 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.  For a fulfilling career, visit MorningStar’s Career page to see available assisted living jobs in Beaverton and Happy Valley, OR; Sparks, NV, West Des Moines, IA; or Billings, MT.

February 14, 2020 by MorningStar

The mission of our company has been unique right from the start with a foundation built on honoring God and valuing all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals.  Every fall, MorningStar has teams that participant in the “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” events held in August through November across the cities where we have communities.  In addition we host uplifting celebrations of “The Longest Day” (summer solstice) in the third week of June in support of the Alzheimer’s Association.  Morningstar also provides funds and volunteers for an orphanage in Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua and is a partner of Lifewater, an organization that focuses on delivering safe water to villages in Ethiopia and other underdeveloped countries.

Our loving homes are scattered throughout the Western U.S. and represent some of the best assisted living communities in each of the cities in which they are located.  In fact many of our homes are among the “2019 Top 100 Best Places to Live” by Livibility.com or have received a rating by Caring.com as a “Caring Star 2020.”   We believe this is because our service is guided by sincerity, depth of purpose and warmth delivered by a team of extraordinary individuals with a felt calling to serve.   

We are currently adding to our team by recruiting men and women imbued with qualities such as kindness, character and selflessness and drawn to the idea of working with seniors.   If you have thought that this year is your time commit to a career in senior living, just listen to MorningStar’s Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger’s inspirational words 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.”

The Many Benefits of Becoming a Professional Caregiver

February 08, 2020 by MorningStar

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that while overall employment in the U.S. economy is projected to increase 6.5 percent during the 2014–24 decade, most of the new jobs added and fastest growth will occur in healthcare practitioners and healthcare support occupations.  This growth is driven by an aging population who will require medical and other on-going care services.   

A job in assisted living is a rewarding career with many opportunities for advancement.  Jobs provide the chance to learn more about the growing hospitality industry and to work with a team that shares a common goal of helping to make someone else’s life better.  It also offers an opportunity to build relationships with people of various backgrounds and talents and to learn more the perspectives and cultural diversity seniors bring from their generation.   Working with seniors helps us to develop feeling of compassion and empathy as we walk alongside them in their personal path of aging.   

At MorningStar’s senior living communities, we are intentional about the kind of culture we are creating in our homes - places distinguished by benevolence; empowerment and collaboration.  To accomplish this we are looking for extraordinary individuals with big hearts to fill a diverse range of assisted living jobs.  

Each of these roles offers competitive wages and comprehensive benefits.  Moreover as all of our staff is encouraged to use their unique talents to improve residents’ care and the operations of our homes, we offer opportunities for advancement by promoting from within our company whenever possible.  By recruiting people who recognize the importance of investing in our resident-families as well as fellow team members, we are striving to build one relationship at a time.

Assisted Living Jobs Need a “Human Touch”

February 06, 2020 by MorningStar

Tiffany Field, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, explains close human contact may have a more immediate impact than words do when it comes to connecting with others.  She says it can “lead to a chain of bioelectric and chemical changes that basically relaxes the nervous system.” For those of us lucky enough to work in assisted living, we recognize the benefit of human connections and relationships and realize we are part of something “bigger.” 

MorningStar’s senior living communities are scattered across the Western U.S. and include homes in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Boulder.  Each is led by a team of individuals who understand the magnitude of their service and that it is a privilege to serve our cherished residents.  They are the type of people who intuitively know that Senior Living, at its best, is love in action, and willingly go the extra mile to meet our residents’ needs, to read body language, and to nurture connections!  

To keep this kind of energy going and to deliver the service our brand was founded on, we seek individuals with a felt calling to serve to fill a variety of assisted living jobs in our Fort Collins and Boulder communities as well as at our two Colorado Springs communities.  Open positions range from care managers to cooks, medication care managers/QMAPs, dining room servers, housekeepers, and more and provide reward careers for our team members.

Once you join our team, you will discover the thing MorningStar is most proud of is the love found beneath our roofs.  If you too have a big heart, we invite you to become part of a company resolved to make a difference in the world with purpose-driven, servant-minded leadership.   Visit our website for more information on assisted living jobs in Boulder and Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs’ Bear Creek and Mountain Shadows communities.
