August 09, 2023 by Karla A in Memory care

In addition to independent living and assisted living, MorningStar at Golden Ridge in Peoria, AZ provides suites devoted to the care of seniors with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases.

At MorningStar, our approach to memory care is designed around our comprehensive program we call “Lavender Sky.” Our philosophy encourages us to walk alongside a resident as we thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore the world of dementia. With insight and intentionality, we enter our memory-impaired residents’ “purple world” to cross over the physical and emotional boundaries that would otherwise separate us. We also educate the families of those afflicted with dementia on how to follow our lead and enter too.

Another important aspect of our unique methodology is to accept the diagnosis of dementia and embrace the fact (we know it is difficult) that this is the path we must take together. By embracing a deep understanding of the disease, it allows us to embrace the necessary changes in our own communication style as well as physically embrace residents with the power of touch. And most importantly we embrace hope.

Finally, Lavender Sky explores a boundless variety of resourceful and individualized solutions for we recognize that what works today may not work tomorrow. When memory care residents come to MorningStar at Golden Ridge, we explore the person’s life including their background, interests and preferences to create a specialized care plan.

July 21, 2023 by Karla A in Memory care

Anxiety over their senior loved one in memory care experiencing improper health care and negligent medical supervision is one of the biggest fears of family members. It's essential to find a trusted senior living community that provides the necessary care and support that your loved one requires in memory care.

What is personalized care? By determining the level of memory care a resident needs, we're able to help our residents achieve better health outcomes. To determine the level of memory care your loved one requires, our wellness team assesses their current health and reviews their medical history to ascertain how we can best meet their needs. At that time, through your help, we will also learn their preferences, as well as normal routines, to develop a care plan customized to them.

After determining a care plan, this plan is regularly re-evaluated to coincide with changing needs. Whether it's improving mobility, managing chronic conditions, or simply maintaining good health, our staff is here to provide the support and care that our residents need to succeed regularly.

Why You Should Consider Companion Living for Memory Care

July 19, 2023 by Karla A in Memory care

When transitioning to memory care, having a close partner or friend nearby becomes a source of solace, diminishing the sense of loneliness that often accompanies this new chapter in life for seniors struggling with dementia or other forms of memory loss. Not only does Companion Living ease the adjustment process, but it also alleviates the financial burden on individuals and families. With Companion Living, MorningStar of Arvada aims to foster a vibrant atmosphere where individuals in memory care can embrace the journey ahead with a sense of purpose, excitement, and the joy of shared experiences. 

At MorningStar, we embrace the necessity of companionship and define a companion as someone with whom you share a strong bond and spend significant time together. This can include two unrelated people of the same sex sharing a suite, whether in Independent Living, Assisted Living, or Memory Car. We welcome the idea of close friends who enjoy each other's company and have a positive synergy. 
​
Perhaps your parent or loved one has a history of delightful travels with someone or has found someone who shares your interests and values, making them an ideal roommate. The key is to create an environment where meaningful connections and compatibility flourish, allowing a senior struggling with memory loss to share this journey with a trusted companion by their side.

Besides maintaining close friendships, cost-effectiveness is a benefit that comes with Companion Living in memory care. Perhaps the cost is what is holding you back from the decision to receive the necessary care you need for a parent or loved one. With Companion Living at MorningStar., the expenses of a suite can be split between two unrelated people. Our floorplans range from studios to two-bedroom suites that are spacious for roommate situations. Furthermore, if you do not have a friend or relative to share a suite with, we will carefully pair you up with another senior who shares your interests and background.

Want to know more about the built-in companionship, predictable budgeting, and security that come from our Alzheimer’s and memory care community?

If you are concerned that your parent or loved one may be in need of memory care, be mindful of these symptoms of dementia in seniors. MorningStar’s memory care communities utilize the latest technology and research in memory care to create an engaging and stimulating environment and lifestyle for residents.

One of the most common early signs of dementia is forgetfulness. Seniors may have difficulty remembering important dates, recent events, conversations, or appointments. They may frequently misplace items such as their car keys or telephone or struggle to recall semi-familiar names or faces. As a caregiver or adult child to a senior, tracking these instances of memory loss can help identify memory loss patterns and provide valuable information to healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and personalized care planning.

While we all have our forgetful moments that increase with age, another early symptom of dementia is difficulty with communication or a change in normal behavior surrounding communication. If you are having a conversation with a senior that you talk with regularly and are finding that they are struggling more and more to find the right words or are having difficulty following or participating in conversations, this could be a sign of early dementia. Tracking these changes in communication patterns can assist in identifying the progression of dementia and facilitating appropriate interventions, including speech therapy and communication techniques.

Families can rest assured knowing their loved ones are receiving the very best modern and holistic memory care practices for memory care in Beaverton. Offering a range of activities and programs, our assisted living is designed to promote social engagement, cognitive stimulation, and physical exercise. These activities not only enhance residents' quality of life, but they can also help slow the progression of dementia.

Learn the Importance of B12 in Senior Brain Health

May 19, 2023 by Karla A in Memory care

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in maintaining proper brain function and cognitive health. This is why it is important to make sure seniors in memory care are receiving adequate nutrition that encourages proper B12 consumption. A B12 deficiency is a common concern among seniors, especially those with memory care needs. This is why MorningStar Senior Living offers the best dining experience for seniors in memory care in Arvada, Co with executive chefs that use brainwise foods and fresh ingredients year-round. 

Seniors are more susceptible to B12 deficiency due to age-related changes in the body's ability to absorb and utilize this vitamin. Factors such as reduced stomach acid production, gastrointestinal disorders, or certain medications can further compromise B12 absorption, putting seniors at a higher risk. This vitamin plays a key role in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve cells and facilitates efficient communication within the brain. Insufficient B12 levels can lead to impaired nerve function, affecting memory, attention, and overall cognitive performance.

Seniors with memory care needs should undergo a comprehensive nutritional assessment to identify any deficiencies, including B12. This assessment can help determine if dietary changes or supplementation is necessary to meet the individual's nutritional requirements. At MorningStar, our executive chefs encourage a diet rich in foods containing vitamin B12, such as lean meats, fish, dairy products, eggs, and fortified cereals. For individuals with dietary restrictions or limitations, alternative sources of B12, such as supplements or B12 injections, may be recommended.

Our trained Executive Chefs design seasonal menus that feature the freshest ingredients from high-quality producers, locally sourced when possible (sometimes from our own resident gardens). These ingredients help to build our BrainWise program. BrainWise is as much a lifestyle as it is a program at MorningStar by which we prioritize the use of ingredients known to support brain health by their high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. The charge of MorningStar’s culinary team is not just to create flavors to delight the eye and palate but to leverage the phenomenal benefits of these aptly named “SuperFoods,” items like acai berries, Omega 3 fats, dark chocolate, and dark greens.
