Family Orientated Fathers Day Ideas for Dads Living in Assisted Care


Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 19th this year. If your special father figure is in assisted living rather than at home, it may seem difficult to come up with ideas to celebrate him this year. Instead of helping in the usual strenuous yard work, throwing an elaborate barbecue, or planning a fishing trip, show the dad in your life appreciation through spending some much-needed relaxing family time from the ideas below.

Senior living doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Dad the same way you may have been accustomed to. Assisted living facilities, such as MorningStar in​​ Des Moines IA, offer colorful and unique living arrangements and community involvement that keeps your father’s life full and enriched while continuing to keep him safe and healthy. Celebrating Father’s Day at MorningStar is special because family is what makes that day important.

If your dad is a bit of a social butterfly, show interest in his life at MorningStar this Father’s Day by visiting with his close-knit community. He will be overly enthusiastic to introduce you to all his friends and neighbors as they have spent much time getting to know each other in the full-service dining room, getting some sun on the patio, or walking in the exercise room.

Spend time together listening to his favorite music albums. One thing parents appreciate is reminiscing on their earlier lives. Bringing some of their favorite music to play in their suite is one way to open them up and remind them of happy memories that they can share with you. If you have children, letting them dance with grandpa is sure to spark joy in the whole family.

Bring in dinner from their favorite restaurant to share as a family. MorningStar at Jordan Creek offers senior living that is in close proximity to great food and shopping which makes it quick and easy to pick up a surprise meal to show just how much you were thinking of your dad this Father’s Day. Taking the time to share this meal as a family is relaxing and a fun way to catch up through treating everyone’s taste buds.

The MorningStar Family

MorningStar Senior Living’s Founder and CEO, Ken Jaeger, first began forming the idea of starting a company from a desire to create senior living that was defined by the human touch. He says his intention was to “re-create my grandmother’s house, a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.” This simple but profound concept has driven the overwhelming success of our MorningStar brand. Now nearly seventeen years later, MorningStar continues to add communities across the Western U.S., including MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Littleton, in the Greater Denver area. At MorningStar of Littleton, our goal is to create a true home for our residents - one that feels like a family.

The Top Reasons Family Considers Assisted Living

Coming to the realization that your loved one may need support beyond what you can provide comes with difficult decisions to make regarding assisted living . Caregivers of family members and loved ones that have special needs or require extra help often experience their own hardships. Anxiety, depression, negative eating habits, financial strain and poor health are not rare when it comes to caring for an elderly parent or family member. Children of senior parents may feel shame in assessing senior living and assisted care, but these facilities can lessen that guilt and offer a peace of mind that your loved one is healthy, safe, and happy. You know your parent better than anyone and have developed a care routine that allows your parent to be close by or living in similar circumstances of their younger years. Sadly, this may not always be sustainable. Perhaps you have welcomed a new child, taken a new job where you will be around less often, or maybe have decided to move. If you are unab

Does your elderly mom or dad dismiss the idea of assisted living fearing it would end their independence and life as they know it? Do they think assisted living homes are more like nursing homes of the past? We want to reassure you and your senior loved one that assisted living communities such as MorningStar at Mountain Shadows are not nursing homes. In fact, we do not offer skilled nursing services but rather provide assistance with the ADLs (activities of daily living), along with engaging activities and other services intended to improve and enhance quality of life. It is important to a senior’s overall health that they receive proper care as the website Aging.com reports, “Functional status and the ability to care for oneself have a significant impact on a senior's quality of life. Unmet needs for help with activities of daily living can lead to malnutrition, poor personal hygiene, isolation, illnesses like urinary tract infections (UTIs), and falls.” In fact, studies show se
