Dining Services that are as Much About Community as Nutrition

At MorningStar at Englefield Green, we feel privileged to provide compassionate, loving care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.  As dementia care experts, every aspect of our community including our dining service is tailored to our special residents.  Mealtimes at Englefield Green are as much about community as they are about the delicious food we serve as at each meal, residents and team members eat together (of course family members are also welcome to join us anytime).   

Family style meals allow team members to encourage residents’ appetites as well as to provide any needed assistance with eating.  Many of meals include offering dishes from serving bowls and platters as a way to help residents connect to memories of family meals they have eaten or prepared throughout their lives.  In addition out of respect for some of our residents’ compromised abilities at the table, food is geared toward their needs.  Our nutritionally-balanced meals look as good as they taste and include easy-to-eat finger foods as well as texture-modified pureed meat and vegetables. 

All of these dishes are prepared with finesse, and many visitors are surprised to discover how good they taste and how elegant they look.  At MorningStar at Englefield Green, we strongly believe food is a healing medicine unlike any other and is also one of the great joys of living, especially when enjoyed in community. 

We invite you to visit our website to learn more about our holistic approach to memory care.  Our community opened in the fall of 2017 and offers 50 suites in an array of configurations including spacious studios, and one- and two-bedroom apartments.  We also provide all of the amenities and services to ensure the comfort, safety and wellbeing of our residents.    

MorningStar at Englefield Green embodies the very best in senior living with a distinct mission statement of “to honor, to serve, to invest” that sets us apart from other senior living communities.  With a foundation built on honoring God, valuing seniors and investing in a staff with a felt calling to serve, we offer loving, compassionate care within a beautiful home-like setting.  Please set up a tour to see for yourself our unique approach to memory care.
