Embrace Support and Independence in Assisted Living
Everyday tasks can be really overwhelming for seniors struggling with health concerns or symptoms of memory loss. Unfortunately, there is a lot of stigma surrounding senior living homes. This stigma stems from misinformation. Modern senior living communities are active and dynamic spaces for seniors to enjoy. Negative ideas about senior living communities can prevent seniors from exploring positive environments where they can receive the support they need.
MorningStar Senior Living in Des Moines redefines assisted living for seniors. Here’s how we can partner together to change the narrative around assisted living to celebrate all the benefits it has to offer.
Recognizing the Signs
The first step in getting your loved one the care they need is recognizing any changes in their behavior or personality. Aging tends to bring natural changes in memory, mobility, and health that can make certain daily tasks more difficult. This can cause normal everyday things to fall by the wayside. Remain attentive to any of the following changes so that you can identify when your loved one needs help:
A lack of fresh food in the house
Overfilled trash or clutter
Unpaid bills or unchecked mailbox
Missed doctors appointments or empty pill bottles
If you are noticing these signs, it may be time to have an honest discussion with others about how to address these challenges in an empathetic way with your loved one.
Independence and Assisted Living
Needing help doesn’t mean losing independence. Seniors can adapt to life’s changes while still preserving dignity and freedom in assisted living. At MorningStar residents experience a balance of independence and support with personalized care plans and tailored activities with on-site care managers on stand-by if necessary.
