MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care Residence at Applewood Announces Grand Opening

LAKEWOOD, CO, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care Residence at Applewood, a joint
effort between MorningStar Senior Living and MacKenzie House, LLC, is
pleased to announce its Grand Opening in July 2008. The new assisted
living community, located at 2800 Youngfield Street in Lakewood, will
host a Grand Opening Weekend July 25-27, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Guests will
be able to tour the community, register to win prizes, enjoy a variety of
chef-prepared refreshments and reserve their accommodations.

The community is designed to serve residents with a wide range of needs in
a warm, residential-style environment. Studio, one- and two-bedroom suites
are available, along with a variety of customizable services and amenities
-- including housekeeping, linen and personal laundry services, an
emergency response system, chef-prepared meals, transportation and
personal care plans for those who may need them. The community also
offers a separate area for those living with Alzheimer's and dementia.

MorningStar Senior Living President and CEO, Ken Jaeger, has more than two
decades of experience in the operation and management of senior living
facilities, with a strong emphasis on compassionate care. "I wanted to
re-create my grandmother's house," Jaeger said, "a place where one can go
and feel a real sense of family rather than the isolation of an
institution. MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care Residence at
Applewood will combine engaging residential-style design, welcoming decor
and gracious service to create a distinctive, deeply caring home for our
residents."

Applewood residents will also enjoy a variety of appealing community
amenities, including relaxing massage and spa rooms, a convenient on-site
country store, a 20-seat movie theater, a 350-gallon saltwater aquarium, a
beauty salon, a chapel and a tranquil sun patio with a grill and
fireplace. Top-quality meals may be savored in the 1,500-square-foot
dining and activity room or in the cozy after-hours bistro.

MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care Residence at Applewood is the
second collaboration between MorningStar Senior Living and MacKenzie
House. Their first -- MorningStar Littleton Assisted Living, which opened
in 2006 -- has been a resounding success, and is operating at nearly 100%
capacity. The two companies are currently collaborating on three
additional projects, including a senior living community in Cherry Creek
(opening in September of 2009) as well as facilities in Belmar and
Colorado Springs (opening in 2010).

Based in Englewood, Colorado, MorningStar Senior Living offers
Independent, Assisted, & Memory Care Living Communities throughout the
state of Colorado. The company is committed to providing professional,
highly personalized care, with the goal of creating an inviting, familial
environment for customers with a wide variety of needs. For details about
