MorningStar of Parker Offers Memory Care in Colorado
Seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s require a special type of care that caters specifically to their needs. These diseases are unique, and symptoms can grow worse without a caregiver who is specially trained to manage them.
At MorningStar of Parker, we believe in more than just providing care. Our senior living community aims to enrich the lives of residents through specialized programming and caregiving that ensures that seniors of all abilities enjoy their retirement.
When Does Your Loved One Need Memory Care?
Dementia and Alzheimer’s are progressive diseases, so it can be difficult to know when it’s time to seek outside help. While seniors experiencing symptoms early on can still live independently, as the disease progresses, that can become dangerous.
Here are a few signs that it’s time to consider moving your loved one to one of our assisted living communities:
Their safety is a concern
They forget to bathe
They forget to eat
They forget to take medication
They forget to lock doors and windows
They get lost
They experience anger or mood swings
If you notice one or more of these signs, it’s best to move your loved one to an environment where they can properly be cared for.
Benefits of Memory Care
At MorningStar of Parker, we understand that it can be hard to move a loved one to a memory care community, especially if they are resistant to it. However, memory care communities offer benefits to both residents and their families that simply cannot be replicated.
First, residents in memory care receive specialized caregiving that they may be lacking in an at-home setting. This means that they are cared for by specialized staff who understand their specific needs.
Residents in memory care are also cared for in a safer environment than at home. Not only do our communities provide secure facilities, but caregivers also ensure that residents are not in harm’s way during daily activities.
Finally, memory care residents benefit from social interaction and a sense of community that’s truly unique to MorningStar communities.
