Seniors in Assisted Living are a Major Fan of This Fall Activity


Now that we are heading into the fall months in Colorado, American football and college sports are beginning to take off again! If your loved one that is now in assisted living or memory care in Littleton CO is a big sports fan, this time of year is perfect to dedicate some quality time together and celebrate one of their favorite activities. Watching sports, especially watching their favorite sports teams, is very enjoyable to seniors struggling with memory loss or dementia. Watching sports is an activity that feels familiar. Use the advice below to help your loved one struggling with memory loss experience one of their favorite past times this Fall.

Making the time to watch sports games with an elderly parent or friend is a great way to bond if they are residing in assisted living or memory care. The tradition of watching a sports game on the same day each week is very comforting for someone that struggles with maintaining routines or gets overwhelmed easily. Having an activity that is predictable and familiar keeps a senior struggling with dementia grounded and happy. Even if their favorite team is losing, the act of watching a familiar and special form of entertainment is soothing for our residents in memory care and assisted living in Littleton CO.

MorningStar of Littleton’s Assisted Living and Memory Care proudly brings the finest senior living Littleton CO has to offer with modern retirement homes and assisted living that incorporates resort-style amenities such as providing residents with three daily meals prepared by our Executive Chef and served restaurant-style in our dining room. We love it when family members and friends stop by to share a meal with their loved ones. Feel free to bring a favorite game day dish to share with your loved one and their neighbors or keep it intimate.

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.

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
