The Many Advantages of Senior Living

Our retirement years allow us to pursue the things we may have put off while raising a family and building a career. It offers the gift of time to reinvigorate old hobbies or start new ones, travel, make new friends, or engage in activities that bring a sense of purpose and meaning to our lives. Most importantly it is the time to reimagine what “retirement” means to each of us including the idea of where “home” is. 

This may mean exploring the idea of senior living and how it may benefit your well-being by seamlessly providing many things you are missing out on, when living on your own. Many senior communities offer maintenance-free living both inside and out ensuring you have the time to enjoy a leisurely lifestyle. Imagine an environment with chef-inspired meals you no longer need to cook, exercise programs and activities geared toward your needs and interests, and a group of friendly people who are in the same phase of life as you.  

Another problem many seniors suffer from is social isolation, which research shows can affect both physical and mental health. Loneliness is linked with problems such as heart disease, depression, cognitive decline, and depression. Senior living communities are designed to help solve this problem. 

Communities like MorningStar of Beaverton provide integrated independent living and assisted living under one roof. While licensed to provide the care, as assisted living residents require, we also welcome seniors who may not need help now but appreciate the convenience knowing help is available should the need arise. All residents enjoy predictable budgeting and our many luxury amenities including all-day restaurant-style dining.

MorningStar’s signature programs promote healthier, more purposeful lives as well as provide old-fashioned fun. We love celebrating holidays and birthdays and gathering together for things like movies and live entertainment. Our community also routinely takes to the road for near and far adventures.   

For seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases, retirement communities with dedicated memory care can be the answer for families searching for the finest care for a loved one. MorningStar of Beaverton’s memory care is done by Reflections Neighborhood; a distinct wing designed to celebrate and elevate the lives of those afflicted with this all-consuming disease. Our memory care includes inviting common areas and clear wayfinding to encourage independence as well as emergency call systems and handicap-accessible bathrooms.
