At MorningStar
Assisted Living & Memory Care at Arrowhead, we are an outstanding
example of a community able to handle the many facets of specialized care for
those afflicted with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related disease. So what do communities like Arrowhead offer
families searching for solutions for a loved one with Alzheimer’s?
To start with, the best memory care
communities are designed to provide residents with a protected environment. For example in our Reflections Neighborhood
at Arrowhead,
memory care residents are able to move freely in a safe and secure environment,
including full use of an enclosed
courtyard reserved just for their use.
Another thing memory care provides is
to not only meet the daily personal care needs of a resident but also to offer specially
trained staff to provide a therapeutic approach to care. At Arrowhead, our resident-directed approach uses
music, dance, art, aromatherapy, and animals as a way to heal and provide comfort
for our residents.
In fact A Place for Mom website notes that memory care programs report “a
higher quality of life in a number of different areas, including reduced medication
and medication side effects; fewer falls, injuries, and hospital visits;
increased nutrition and wellness; and greater independence and social
interaction.” They add that seventy-five
percent of residents experience an “improvement or maintenance of mental
functioning.”
Finally memory care provides the
families of those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia peace
of mind knowing that their loved one is being cared for in the best possible
way.
MorningStar at Arrowhead represents
the best in senior living with a unique mission statement “to honor, to value,
to invest.” We have built our foundation
