Reach Your Professional and Personal Best at MorningStar

May 18, 2022 by MorningStar in assisted living jobs

The MorningStar Senior Living communities are purposefully built to serve seniors and staffed by a group of service professionals who feel called, connected and empowered. They understand the magnitude of their service, and invest in our resident-families as well as fellow team members, to build one relationship at a time. These amazing individuals share a felt calling to serve and recognize it is a privilege to care for seniors.  

As part of our mission statement 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,” we have been honored to offer meaningful training to help our staff reach their personal best. This commitment resulted in the creation of our proprietary brand standard of Service Excellence we call Radiance, which is introduced to all team members upon hiring regardless of position. Like a beam of light, Radiance celebrates an attitude of selflessness that issues from a deep and sincere place and guides the way we deliver service - with warmth, depth and sincerity.

Along with Radiance training, MorningStar wants all team members to be equipped with the knowledge required to do their jobs well and take pride in their work.  To that end, we invest in other comprehensive employee training programs such as:  O2 (Orientation & Onboarding); Lavender Sky (Dementia Care); Inhabit (for the Community Relations team); Brain Boosts (for the Reflections care team); and Relias Video Courses (paid to view from home).  This training enables our team to be the best at what they do, and to do each job with confidence.

Morningstar is also proud to offer our team members a very generous benefit package. Our benefits start with competitive wages, plus bonus and incentive opportunities in some positions, and extend to comprehensive insurance, and employee leave and support programs.  Currently MorningStar of Boise, MorningStar at Englefield Green, and MorningStar of Idaho Falls invite you to join our team. For more information, go to our website’s Careers Here page for all the details on benefits, compensation, and openings for assisted living jobs in Boise and Idaho Falls. 

MorningStar Senior Living exemplifies the very best in senior living with a unique mission statement “to honor, to serve, to invest.” Our foundation is built on honoring God, valuing all seniors and investing in staff with a felt calling to offer seniors lives of comfort, joy and wellness.

MorningStar team members have the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.  We promote from within whenever possible and are proud of our diverse workforce.  We offer competitive wages and comprehensive insurance benefits that include medical, dental, and vision plans.  We also offer flexible schedules to accommodate employees’ family obligations as well as vacation, sick time and holiday pay.

December 15, 2020 by MorningStar

Did your grandparents or an elderly friend or neighbor take a special interest in your upbringing?  Have you been positively influenced and shaped by an older person in your life?  Do you appreciate the many contributions the elderly have made to the community and the world at large?  Would you like a chance to help make sure seniors are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve?

Working in one of our assisted living jobs gives individuals the chance to build enduring relationships with other team members as well as our residents.    We also recognize our team is the very heartbeat of our brand, particularly our front-line service staff, and as such, we seek nothing less than exceptional individuals with a felt calling to serve seniors.

An Atmosphere Designed for Both Residents and Staff to Thrive

December 15, 2020 by MorningStar

As every aspect of our communities are designed to promote an atmosphere where both residents and staff thrive; MorningStar Senior Living’s mission statement right from the start was to “Invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well.”  Each MorningStar employee is provided training that helps them understand, articulate and contribute to our extraordinary culture.  

Since all of our communities provide memory care, one of the things we do is to teach team members more about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  Our proprietary program is designed to empower and equip you to help us usher in a more insightful and intentional way to support the memory–impaired and their family.    

Also our Radiance Service Excellence initiative training provides the framework for how we dispense service to residents.  The program provides us with a tangible and purposeful way to advance our mission of honoring, valuing and investing in others and is the basis for how we dispense service - through warmth, sincerity and depth.  Along with introducing the program to each new team member, we also reiterate and strengthen the program’s concepts during daily short meetings called the “Huddle.”  

By striving to build warm, genuine connections with each other and those we serve, MorningStar’s goal is to cast a new light and to be a beacon of decency, good manners and polite conversations.  Employees are encouraged to work as a team and to regularly ask fellow team members if they need help as well as to share the best ways to work well with certain residents.  Another way we inspire professional and personal grow is to have team members mentor others and learn to collaborate and listen well; and we promote from within whenever possible.  

In addition to generous financial compensation and training, MorningStar supports team members with comprehensive insurance coverage. This includes health insurance (with deductible options and below average premiums), dental insurance, vision insurance, telehealth coverage (at no cost), life insurance (basic policy at no cost; supplemental policy available at group rates), and supplemental insurance (disability, accident, critical illness). 

Please visit MorningStar Senior Living’s website for more information regarding assisted living jobs in Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and Boulder, CO.  From Care Manager, Life Enrichment Assistant, Medication Care Manager to Driver, Dishwasher, Cook, and more, MorningStar’s communities offer the opportunity to make a difference in seniors’ lives and give you the chance to grow professionally and personally.  

  

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

MorningStar’s Commitment to Residents and Staff

November 27, 2020 by MorningStar

MorningStar Senior Living’s Idaho communities are a part of the larger MorningStar Senior Living Company that has communities throughout the Western U.S.  In Idaho our communities include: MorningStar of Boise, MorningStar at Englefield Green, and MorningStar of Idaho Falls.  We are currently seeking team members who want to help strengthen our reimagined vision of senior living.  

We consider all of our employees to be an integral part of our team and whatever they need, we strive to keep them covered. Morningstar is proud to offer some of the most generous benefits in the senior living industry. Our benefits start with competitive wages, plus bonus and incentive opportunities, and extend all the way through comprehensive insurance, training, and employee leave and support programs.  

MorningStar has a unique mission statement that includes honoring God in all of our business practices and our relationships, which transcends to a superior quality of life for our MorningStar’s residents. To symbolize our three separate mission statements, we commissioned a painting we call the Tree of Life, a phrase most notable referenced in Genesis and Revelation.  The painting is done as a “triptych,” which is one picture depicted across three separate panels.

The tree and its root are symbolic of Jesus as he said in Revelation 22:16, “I am the Root and the Offspring of David and the Bright Morning Star.  The mature, majestic tree symbolizes the long life of a senior, and the fruit it produces is due to it being deeply rooted and reaching up to the light.  The rough, textured bark reminds us of a senior’s work-worn hands and the mountains in the background represent MorningStar’s Colorado beginnings.  Our Tree of Life picture is displayed in all of our senior living communities and you should make a point to see it when you visit.   

Our loving Boise and Idaho Falls communities have a Christian foundation built upon honoring God and valuing all seniors and are currently recruiting individuals with a felt calling to serve seniors.  Please visit our website to see our complete list of assisted living jobs and our convenient online application.  Remember, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31.  

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 would love to serve, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for information on rewarding assisted living jobs (including care giver and housekeeping jobs) in Boise and Idaho Falls, ID.

One Often Unexpected Benefit of Working at MorningStar’s Senior Communities

November 27, 2020 by MorningStar

MorningStar Senior Living is committed to making a difference in the lives of seniors and is seeking like-minded people to help us achieve our mission.  Currently we have various openings for assisted living jobs at our Albuquerque, Rio Ranch and Santa Fe, NM communities. Positions include Care Manager, Life Enrichment Assistant, Server, Cook and more.  

Many people working in senior living are surprised to discover how rewarding and fulfilling the career is as well as the unforeseen benefits it offers.  One of the most frequently mentioned by those working with seniors are the lessons they learn that make a lasting impression on their own lives.  The older generation has a wealth of knowledge as well as a unique perspective, and most of them love having someone around willing to listen to stories about their broad and varied life experiences.      

Their longevity means seniors have lived through both good and bad times and many have had interesting careers and backgrounds.  Also, most seniors have learned what is truly important in life and listening to their stories can be inspirational.  In addition, getting to know their history helps us to develop deeper relationships with them and their families.

Furthermore, working with seniors will give you a new perspective on aging and help you to understand more about what people go through in the aging process.   As a MorningStar team member, you will be encouraged get to know our residents and to learn their preferences and backgrounds as you meet their expressed (and even unexpressed) needs.  

We are proud of our culturally diverse workforce and consider all of our employees to be an integral part of our team.  To equip you with the knowledge required to do your job well and take pride in your work, we invest in comprehensive training.  Programs include:  O2 (Orientation & Onboarding); Lavender Sky (Dementia Care); Radiance (Culture, Customer Service); Inhabit (for the Community Relations team); Brain Boosts (for the Reflections care team); and Relias Video Courses (paid to view from home). 

We invite you to discover the joys of working in a supportive environment where team members work toward a single goal of providing the best senior living to our residents.  Please visit our website for information on how to apply for an open position.   

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 would love to serve, please visit MorningStar’s Career page for information on rewarding assisted living jobs in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and Santa Fe, NM.

October 30, 2020 by MorningStar

At MorningStar of Albuquerque, MorningStar of Rio Rancho and MorningStar of Santa Fe, 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.  

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. 

New Mexico’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 manager, dining room server, housekeeper, wellness director, and more.

MorningStar’s assisted living residents are independent seniors who just require a little help with their day-to-day personal care activities such as bathing, grooming, toileting, dressing, etc.  In our Reflections Neighborhood, we care for seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s and other types of memory loss.  While this may sound discouraging, at MorningStar we understand that the essence of the person remains regardless of the extent of memory loss and our approach is to find ways to connect with and nurture that essence.  Our energies are put toward finding ways to celebrate and elevate life.

A Pathway to Personal Growth by Serving Others

September 15, 2020 by MorningStar

In today’s fast moving world, many of us do not feel connected to our communities and yearn for rewarding work.  Giving back and serving others is one way to make us feel more connected and allow us to make a real difference in someone’s life. 

As the author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping, and professor of preventative medicine at Stony Brook University, Stephen G. Post says a part of our brain lights up when we help others and sends out feel-good chemicals like dopamine, and possibly serotonin. Post explains, "These chemicals help us feel joy and delight -- helper's high.”  Common reactions include feelings of tranquility, peacefulness, serenity as well as a sense of trust and warmth.  

Throughout time great thinkers and religious leaders have praised the merits of helping others.  In addition, evidence-based research has found that “giving is a powerful pathway to personal growth and lasting happiness.”  Studies also show that it is not so much about how much we give, but whether we give it with love.  

The MorningStar senior living communities in Sparks, NV; West Des Moines, IA; Beaverton and Happy Valley, OR; and Billings, MT are seeking extraordinary individuals with a felt calling to serve to fill a variety of rewarding assisted living jobs.  Our positions include care managers, cooks, medication care managers/QMAPs, bus drivers, concierges, dining room servers and housekeepers.  As our homes are 24/7 operations, our openings include evening and weekend shifts, and all of our positions offer competitive wages and comprehensive benefits.   

Along with a generous compensation and insurance benefit package, MorningStar wants all of our team members to be equipped with the knowledge required to do their jobs well and take pride in their work.  To that end, we invest in employee training programs such as:  O2 (Orientation & Onboarding); Lavender Sky (Dementia Care); Radiance (Culture, Customer Service); Inhabit (for the Community Relations team); Brain Boosts (for the Reflections care team); and Relias Video Courses (paid to view from home).  This training enables our team to be the best at what they do, and do each job with confidence.

Our communities are not only beautiful designed and decorated but filled with kindness, love and the utmost respect for our remarkable residents.  To learn more about our career opportunities, please visit our website’s Career page and follow the link “Search Open Positions.”

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.  Visit MorningStar’s Career page to see openings for assisted living jobs in Beaverton OR, Billings MT, Happy Valley OR, West Des Moines IA, Sparks NV, and other MorningStar communities.

Join Us on Our Mission to Serve Seniors

August 22, 2020 by MorningStar

At the MorningStar senior living communities, we have a unique 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 fact, it is the framework we use to “cast a new light” on senior living and to strengthen our resolve to love and honor others.  

MorningStar’s extraordinary care is directed by our loving Mission statement: To honor God in all our business practices and relationships; to value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals; and to invest generously in our team’s ability to serve well.  Recognizing the inherent quality of all human beings, we are committed to enhancing our residents’ quality of life and believe that seniors are true heroes who have much to teach us.  

In fact, we hear stories from one team member after another about how they had not realized serving seniors would be so life-changing and had not foreseen the many benefits they would receive through their unique relationships with our residents.  The truth is as we commit to a path of serving others, it gives our own lives more meaning and purpose.  

Working in one of our assisted living jobs in New Mexico’s beautiful MorningStar communities, you will also have many opportunities for growth as it is not unusual for care managers to end up managing one of our homes.  However, regardless of your position, we consider you to be an integral partner in our success and do our best to accommodate team members’ own family obligations.  To offer a healthy work-life balance, we provide flexible schedules and do our best to respect shift preferences.  

Along with a generous compensation and insurance benefit package, MorningStar wants all of our team members to be equipped with the knowledge required to do their jobs well and take pride in their work.  To that end, we invest in comprehensive employee training programs such as:  O2 (Orientation & Onboarding); Lavender Sky (Dementia Care); Radiance (Culture, Customer Service); Inhabit (for the Community Relations team); Brain Boosts (for the Reflections care team); and Relias Video Courses (paid to view from home).  This training enables our team to be the best at what they do, and do each job as well as they can.
