Give up Home Maintenance and Spend More Time Doing What You Love


Did you know more and more older adults are making the choice to move into senior living communities? Seniors are embracing the idea of giving up home maintenance and spending more time doing what they love best including being able to travel without worry. Independent living communities offer private apartments designed to meet residents’ needs along with common areas ideal for sitting and relaxing with friends and dining rooms offering delicious restaurant-style meals.

Another reason many seniors are choosing independent living communities is the appeal of living among like-minded people of the same age. Socializing is important to our wellbeing and isolation can lead to depression or worsen health problems. For seniors who no longer work and/or have stopped or limited their driving, it can get more and more difficult to maintain normal social interactions. Community living offers easy opportunities for residents to meet new friends or engage in social activities and special events.

At senior living communities such as the new MorningStar of Mission Viejo, we will offer transportation services for medical appointments and take to the road every so often for organized activities and cultural events. We will also bring in live entertainment and host special events throughout the year. Wellness activities will include exercise classes, life enrichment classes and more. We also know security is important to peace of mind, and community living gives that to seniors and their families.

Opening in May 2023, MorningStar of Mission Viejo will be filled with spacious, beautifully appointed common areas both inside and out and include a swimming pool, sky terraces, art studio, theatre, salon and fitness center. Residents will enjoy all-day, restaurant-style dining inspired by our Executive Chef that features the freshest ingredients from high quality producers, locally sourced when possible.

Along with independent living, MorningStar of Mission Viejo will have suites for assisted living for those who need help with the activities of daily living. The Reflections Neighborhood will provide additional suites devoted to the individualized care of those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases. Please contact us or visit our website to learn more.

MorningStar’s foundation is based on the mission to honor God, value seniors and invest in our staff to create a unique senior living experience. Set in a warm, loving atmosphere with beautiful surroundings and resort-style amenities, we provide the finest independent living, assisted living and memory care in Mission Viejo, CA.

Older adults often fall prey to ruthless schemes that rob them of their money and identity. In 2021, over 92,000 victims over the age of 60 reported losses of $1.7 billion to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Complaint Center. The sad part is that it’s often a result of a senior’s trusting nature or feelings of isolation and loneliness; or in some cases, a senior may have cognitive issues that impair their judgement and decision-making skills.    Experts explain there are several reasons why seniors are more susceptible to fraudulent schemes starting with the fact they tend to be very trusting.  Our elderly population was typically raised to be polite and agreeable to others, which in turn can make them more susceptible to fraud. Lonely seniors can easily be preyed upon as they are willing to stay on the phone and engage in conversation with a stranger.   The national council on Aging (NCOA) alerts the public to current scams targeting seniors so if you have a parent or other
