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

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.
