Companion Living in Retirement Communities


At MorningStar Assisted Living Des Moines, couples can continue to live together in assisted living. Couples can live together in their own suites in assisted living, surrounded by their own treasured possessions. Alternatively, suites can be shared by close friends who simply enjoy one another’s company. Companion living for seniors in assisted living is a great option for those that need a little extra care and attention from those they trust. Within its communities, MorningStar Senior Living Des Moines offers Assisted Living with support at various levels and Around-the-clock Care Managers that are on site and at the ready to ensure your comfort and safety as you make MorningStar your home.

Assisted living is a senior living arrangement offered at senior living communities that lends a helping hand to seniors who may be struggling to complete or maintain everyday activities or routines. Many of the seniors in assisted living communities can still promote and advocate for their own freedom and independence. If you feel you or a loved one may need assisted living in Des Moines, take the time to consider what services are needed. Upon meeting with a care manager at MorningStar Senior Living Des Moines, Iowa, we will ask a series of questions to create the level of care best suited for the individual. Questions like, what daily activities you need help with, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, remembering medications. Also, consider how often help required with those activities.

Companion living for seniors in assisted living is a great option for those who are most comfortable living with someone they know and trust. Living with a trustworthy companion in assisted living helps to keep an eye on one another. These individuals are already used to their loved ones needs and habits, which can help the other one to acclimate easier and begin to make their senior living facility their home. A companion can also update care managers and nurses within their senior living facility if routines or completion with activities begin to change. Those closest to us have the ability to pick up on things quicker than others sometimes and can notify caregivers when necessary.
