Assisted Living Offers A Lifestyle of Comfort, Wellness, Community
If you still think assisted living is an “old person’s home,” you could not be more mistaken. Today’s assisted living communities are a far cry from old-fashioned facilities like nursing homes, and offer seniors a vibrant lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community. As a resident, you have opportunities to grow, learn and contribute.
Skilled nursing facilities (SNF) had their beginnings decades ago as “nursing homes,” and in a time when there were few other options for senior care. Today SNF typically focus on short-term rehab including helping patients discharged from the hospital after surgery or illness. SNF staff include RNs and CNAs, and specialize in serving residents in fragile and declining health.
Assisted living is designed to assist residents with the activities of daily living (ADLs) such as toileting, dressing, and bathing. However, assisted living communities like MorningStar of Wheat Ridge provide much more than just physical care. Along with a wealth of amenities, activities and services, it is designed to feel like a real home. MorningStar’s services help families by providing transportation to doctor appointments and other errands as well as onsite supportive services from third-party providers including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Residents have the opportunity for plenty of socializing and are encouraged to participate in a range of activities and wellness programs.
MorningStar’s services also include providing housekeeping to ensure residents’ homes are tidy and clean. By taking care of meals, we help residents get the daily nutrition they need. Moreover, meals are served restaurant-style in our beautiful dining room as we believe breaking bread together provides far more than physical nutrients but bonds us as family and friends. We also help with another common problem many seniors experience when living alone, which is forgetting to or improperly taking medications. We solve this by offering medication management services.
