The Benefits of Personalized Care for Seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease


There is still no cure for Alzheimer’s or dementia. This means a memory loss diagnosis can only be treated for the length of the individual’s life. Finding proper memory care takes dedicated time and research to find the community that is right for you and your loved one. The best memory care communities understand that senior care should be tailored to each individual, prioritizing their set of unique challenges, health concerns, and personality.

What is Personalized Memory Care?

Proper Alzheimer’s care should not be “one-size-fits-all.” Seniors with a memory loss diagnosis should receive the proper amount and type of care they require to support their physical, emotional and social needs. Personalized memory care is designed to meet the seniors where they are at. Specialized memory care plans are designed with help from family, health care providers and personalized care managers at MorningStar Senior Living Littleton Co.

Memory Care at MorningStar Encourages Independence

It’s difficult for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia to experience autonomy and independence in the same way they once did. Many lose mobility, motor function, and experience changes in their communication style. Personalized care plans support a senior’s independence, regardless of their level. While memory care communities still provide ample medication management and help with daily activities, our senior living community works with a memory loss diagnosis to develop activities and routines that promote independence and autonomy.

Regular assessments and family meetings allow the memory care team members at MorningStar to update your loved one’s personalized care plan whenever necessary, giving you and your loved one a flexible memory care experience that works.

The Benefits of Assisted Living

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 adults who live alone do not

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
