Each MorningStar resident is provided with three daily meals that are meticulously prepared by our own Executive Chef. Our meals are prepared largely from scratch and are modified to accommodate low sodium, sugar free, no sugar added, vegetarian and low-fat diets along with seasonal menus. Chef Wesley also welcomes residents’ feedback and adapts recipes to make sure everyone enjoys our mealtimes.
MorningStar also makes it a priority to use BrainWise ingredients in our meals. BrainWise super foods include those that have been recognized by the medical community to support brain health and have a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Many of the common items we incorporate into our meals include items like acai berries, Omega 3 fats, dark chocolate and dark greens.
For our memory care residents, we feel that dining is as much about socializing as it is about nutrition. MorningStar has lots of experience caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia and we understand their abilities at the table may be compromised. This is why we serve lots of finger foods; softened and puréed, thickened liquids; and easy-to-recognize balanced meals packed with nutrients.
Furthermore, team members sit with residents to help make mealtime enjoyable and encourage their appetite. We also serve meals “family-style” from serving bowls and platters like we do at home. Family member are always welcome to join us.
MorningStar at Arcadia’s distinct mission statement “to honor, to serve, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living options. Our foundation is built on honoring God, valuing our seniors and hiring staff with a felt calling to serve. Set in a warm, loving environment with exceptional architecture and resort-style amenities, MorningStar at Arcadia invites you to contact us to learn more about one of the best assisted living homes Phoenix AZ offers.
