Morningstar of Sparks is a 112-bed senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care at 2360 Wingfield Hills Dr in Sparks, Nevada, licensed as a Residential Facility for Groups by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services since September 24, 2009. With 16 years of operational history, the facility is well-established in the region. Currently, 97 of 112 beds are occupied, representing an 87% occupancy rate consistent with Nevada state averages and an average daily census of 92 residents. The community has earned recognition as Best of Senior Living 2024 by APlaceforMom.com and Best of Reno 2025 by the Choice Awards.

Morningstar of Sparks offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care with pricing of $3,995 monthly for independent living, $4,650 for assisted living, and $5,350 for memory care. Dining is positioned as a centerpiece of wellness, featuring seasonal menus with fresh, scratch-prepared ingredients and special diet accommodations including low sodium, sugar-free, vegetarian, low-fat, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Six confirmed amenities include a fitness center, bistro with bar, game room, salon, library, and outdoor spaces.

Regulatory oversight of Morningstar of Sparks falls to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance. The facility has received 17 inspections compared to a Nevada state average of 21. The most recent inspection, an annual survey on May 22, 2025, identified 107 deficiencies, substantially exceeding the Nevada average of 62. Those deficiencies encompassed food storage temperature control, unsecured medication storage, lack of tuberculosis screening documentation, and unsafe storage of dangerous items within the memory care unit. Earlier inspections documented recurring pattern issues involving medication storage and handling, kitchen sanitation, staff training deficiencies, and memory care safety concerns. Substantiated complaints from prior investigations included medication errors resulting in resident hospitalization, including a September 2024 incident involving a medication refill omission that led to hospitalization. No enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions appear in the available compliance record. The inspection trajectory shows ongoing challenges in medication management and memory care safety without documented improvement in recent inspection cycles.

The community is located 6.0 miles from downtown Sparks with access to hospitals, pharmacies, and services.

Morningstar of Sparks is suited for families seeking a multiple-care-level senior living option in Sparks with established operational history, provided they conduct thorough inquiries with administrators about medication storage and handling protocols, tuberculosis screening procedures, memory care unit safety measures, and what corrective actions have been undertaken in response to the May 2025 inspection findings before committing to placement.
