Overview of MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Applewood

MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Applewood provides assisted living and memory care in Lakewood, CO. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Both care levels share one campus, so the community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without leaving the community.

Located in the Applewood Villages neighborhood, the community offers studio and one bedroom housing options. A studio provides a single private living space, while a one bedroom layout separates the sleeping area from the rest of the residence. A Walk Score of 55 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still be able to manage certain outings independently. Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet after moving to the community.
