How Seniors Continue to Learn and Grow in Assisted Living

Life doesn’t stop at retirement. In fact, we have even more time to explore our passions, interests and take a moment to do something for ourselves. Enjoying retirement is just as important for seniors who struggle with activities of daily living. It can become more complicated to complete tasks, participate in hobbies, and see friends. Because of this, MorningStar Senior Living encourages seniors to continue to learn and grow in assisted living with plenty of amenities, activities, and clubs for residents to continue to discover new things each day. 

Life Enrichment Teams

Modern assisted living homes offer more than just care. We are with our residents for every joy of life. This includes creating a colorful experience every day. MorningStar’s life enrichment teams present creative ways for residents to get involved multiple times a month. There is something for everyone to enjoy at least once a week. Our life enrichment teams work to understand the passions of our residents and come up with ways to bring new or unique experiences to the community. 

Workshops and Learning Opportunities

While seniors have spent many years learning, there is still so much to know or ways to sharpen their skills. Great assisted living communities often offer exciting skills-based classes in art, fitness, cooking, and more. The classes encourage self-expression, socialization, and working with refined motor skills that can dull over time. Every resident can find something that interests them, or pick up a new hobby they never imagined they would enjoy. 

Clubs and Events that Encourage Growth

Tapping into their unique talents and experiences, some residents even choose to lead special interest clubs themselves. Gardening, book clubs, sewing circles, and foodies love gathering at MorningStar Senior Living in Sparks. This senior living and assisted living community with modern amenities like fitness rooms, chapels, a bistro and wine bar, and an enclosed patio makes it easy for every group to find a space at MorningStar. The benefit of experiencing new things, spending time in the community, and meeting new friends is what keeps seniors feeling young at heart. The Life Enrichment Teams at MorningStar love encouraging and supporting seniors to try new things and work together.

What Families Should Know About Assisted Living

It’s not always easy to know the right choices to make for a loved one. If a parent or family member has been showing signs that they are struggling with activities of daily living, this could mean it’s time to step in and make some decisions. With so many choices out there, it’s hard to know if you’re picking the best senior living option. Here are some things families should know about assisted living

What is Assisted Living?

It’s not the same as a nursing home. There are common misconceptions about assisted living. The truth is, modern communities encourage independence, promote community, and push for whole body wellness in every way possible. A nursing home is a retired term to describe what luxury assisted living has to offer today. At MorningStar Senior Living, residents experience support in medication management, personal wellness, meal preparation, and health check-ins, but they also get the joy of exploring their community, attending events, and having their own autonomy to make choices. 

Improving the Quality of Life

It’s rooted in providing the highest quality of care possible. Communities should always strive to create opportunities for residents to connect with their neighbors, staff, and family members. At MorningStar Senior Living, our staff works to bring accessible fitness classes, creative workshops, celebrations, and other events to the community to spark joy and fulfillment with our residents. 

Families Get a Say

Families should always be involved in decisions about their loved one’s care. Choosing a community doesn’t mean you don’t care. More often than not, it’s the opposite. By deciding on a great home, you work with a professional care team to ensure that your family member’s needs are being met. You will work with this team to develop personalized care that is suited to their needs, health, and personal interests.
