At MorningStar, We Feel Privileged to Serve Seniors

January 25, 2021 by MorningStar in assisted living

At MorningStar Senior Living, we think seniors are heroes and they deserve to be treated with respect and enjoy a lifestyle of comfort and wellness.  To help us provide the finest care to our cherished residents, we are currently seeking team members with a calling to serve seniors for various assisted living jobs at our Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Santa Fe, NM communities.

People working in senior living are often surprised to discover how pleasurable it is to serve seniors and how much they learn from it.  After all, if we take the time to listen, seniors have plenty of valuable life lessons to pass on to the younger generation.  Over the span of a lifetime, they have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge, which provides them with a unique perspective.  And older folks typically love having someone around who is willing to listen to them and to look at pictures and cherished mementos from the past.  

When you hang out with seniors, you get the chance to hear about their various backgrounds and interesting careers and to be inspired by their life-long perseverance.  They can help you see what is really important in life, and you use their life lessons to develop more rewarding relationships with your own family.  Also, you will come away with a better understanding of the aging process and increased empathy for those suffering from illnesses and disabilities.     

MorningStar is proud to support our team members with some of the most generous benefits in the industry. Compensation starts with competitive wages, and bonus or incentive opportunities (depending on position).  In addition, employees are eligible for paid holidays, paid vacation, paid sick time, birthday appreciation day, 401k plan availability, health savings account availability, uniforms, training and advancement opportunities. At MorningStar, we strive to make sure our team is paid well for the valuable services they provide our company.  Please visit our website for a list of job openings 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 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.

MorningStar is a Workplace Where Excellence Can Flourish

August 25, 2020 by MorningStar

MorningStar’s Idaho Falls and Boise senior living communities are true homes distinguished by compassion, laughter and dignity.  Each one is beautifully decorated and offers an array of resort-style amenities.  However, the thing we are most proud of is our dedicated, loving team.  We know they are the heartbeat of our brand, which is why it is important to us to provide training and coaching to each staff member to enable them to reach their potential.  We take pride in creating a workplace where excellence can flourish and promote from within whenever possible.

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.

If you feel as troubled as we do by the increasing incivility within our society, you should know that one of MorningStar’s priorities is to cast a new light.  We want our communities to be lighthouses of decency, good manners and polite conversations and our mission and core values reflect this goal.  MorningStar has created a work environment that builds relationships as well as inspires employees to do the right thing even when no one is watching.  As a team member, you will be taught to communicate and convey the dignity and respect our residents deserve, be encouraged to work together with fellow staff members and to remember everyone plays a vital role in our success.  

We are building a team of service professionals who feel called, connected and empowered, and understand the importance of investing in each other as well as our resident-families.  We are proud of our culturally diverse workforce; and while our company was founded on Judeo-Christian values, we lovingly welcome all faiths among our team members as well as our residents.  Please see our website for a complete listing of caregiver jobs and other assisted living jobs in Idaho Falls and Boise.

From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel it in the air; you can see it with your eyes - a staff that loves our residents like they do their own moms and dads and grandparents.

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.
