What is Holistic Memory Care?

Traditional memory care options like medication or hospitalization are not always helpful for seniors struggling with Dementia. This path can lead to more anxiety, depression, and loud outbursts throughout the rest of the life. 

Senior Living in Littleton Co offers holistic memory care for seniors and their families who are looking for an alternative to traditional dementia care. 


Holistic memory care is rooted in the idea that those with Alzheimer’s can still live meaningful and fulfilling lives. A holistic approach to Alzheimer’s treatment is a group effort. If you are looking for effective memory care treatments, look for senior living communities that involve professional caretakers, doctors, family members, and of course, the individual with a memory loss diagnosis. 


A holistic approach to dementia care includes providing whole-body health. This means considering the following things to promote overall happiness and well-being: 


Environment- A senior’s home plays a major role in their health and management of a memory loss diagnosis. Comfortable living quarters with trusted and empathetic caregivers will make seniors feel more relaxed. Anxiety-inducing living situations can progress a memory loss diagnosis or make symptoms worse. Find comfortable senior living in Littleton Co where seniors can relax and be treated promptly and with respect. 


Food and Nutrition- Many are aware that what we eat impacts our health in multiple ways. This is true for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Whole foods that are dense with nutrients, protein, and vitamins can help ease the negative effects of memory loss. Highly processed foods full of oils, sugars, and carbohydrates can cause discomfort and make symptoms of memory loss worse. 


Communication and Social Activities- Just because communication between a senior with dementia has changed, doesn’t mean they don’t still need or want socialization. Social senior living communities that offer memory care for seniors improve multiple aspects of life and make seniors feel connected and valued.

The Benefits of Assisted Living

Image
Studies show that for many older adults in need of a little daily assistance, life is easier in assisted living.  The reason so many of them say they prefer assisted living to living on their own, is it actuals helps them to feel more – not less – independent.  In fact, senior living communities such as MorningStar of Littleton are designed to provide seniors a lifestyle of comfort, wellness, and community.   When you live in your own home, you have the constant worry of upkeep and unexpected repairs, or you may be a person who no longer feels comfortable driving and have given it up altogether.  This makes running errands, grocery shopping and getting to doctors’ appointments difficult. Moving into assisted living means you no longer have to spend time worrying about maintaining a home, and communities such as MorningStar offer scheduled transportation.  Meal prep is another thing that is often difficult for the elderly, and as a result, many older ...
