Who We Are
Morning Star Adult Day Program at Lowry Intergenerational Center helps families keep adult loved ones at home and in the community, potentially preventing or postponing placement in a nursing home.

What We Do
Located in historic Lowry Building 880, the program offers care services for adults age 55 and older who need supervision or assistance during the day. We accept clients with both cognitive and physical challenges. To arrange a free, four-hour trial day, call 303-326-8320.

Morning Star recently earned the Quality First Award from the Colorado Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. Visit this award Web page and click on the video link at the top of the page to find out more.

How Our Program Works
Most clients attend three days per week, which allows them to form friendships with other participants. However, single days or other individual arrangements also are possible.

Participants enjoy:

  • Intergenerational activities
  • Recreation and exercise
  • Health monitoring and screen
  • Outings
  • Educational Programs
  • Adaptive computers
  • Art classes
  • Special Events
  • Nutritious meals and snacks
  • Social interaction

Our participants form special bonds with staff and each other. Caregivers are given peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are under professional care.


Fees
$60 per day
$35 for less than five hours

Some grant funds are available for clients who qualify.

We accept Medicaid, veterans’ benefits and private insurance.

Transportation
We can provide individuals with a list of providers that serve Morning Star.

This is a separate agreement and fee between the client and the transportation service.

Your Medicaid case manager also may arrange transportation.
