Embrace Alzheimer’s Care with this Holistic Memory Care Program


There is a negative perception associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. While a memory loss diagnosis certainly can be scary and unfamiliar, embracing the disease may be a more successful tactic to provide support for seniors with Alzheimer’s.

As a facility dealing in the service of memory loss, MorningStar understands the difficulties attached to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other memory loss diseases. Known for being a leading senior living community in Alzheimer’s care, we hope to combat these worries through a compassionate and holistic memory care approach called “Lavender Sky.”

What is “Lavender Sky”?

Lavender Sky is a memory care approach that gears towards specialized Alzheimer’s training that prepares staff and caretakers to “thoughtfully enter, embrace, and explore” the realm of dementia.

In embracing memory loss and Alzheimer’s, we then can begin to explore possible new avenues for care and understanding of memory loss diseases and their difficulties. Embracing memory loss, as confusing as that may sound, is one step towards better understanding memory loss and the individual situations our residents may be dealing with regarding their diagnosis.

The Art of Embracing an Alzheimer’s Diagnosis

Unlike traditional memory care approaches that tend to focus on the individual's weaknesses and limitations, holistic memory care offered at MorningStar emphasizes a senior’s strengths and abilities. Specialized care plans are tailored to the individual's unique needs, interests, and abilities, allowing them to maintain their sense of identity and independence for as long as possible. Lavender Sky prioritizes giving each senior the appropriate level of care needed, whether it is at the onset of the disease or more advanced stages of Alzheimer’s.

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
