Maintaining Independence: Why it Matters at Our Memory Care Facility

As we age, it can be natural to worry about losing our independence. For seniors who have been diagnosed with memory loss or dementia, these concerns can be even greater. However, at MorningStar's memory care facility in Beaverton, Oregon, we understand that maintaining a sense of autonomy is important for overall well-being and happiness. MorningStar’s memory care community is designed to promote independence while also providing the necessary care and support for those struggling with memory loss due to dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Each resident is unique at MorningStar and has their own set of needs and abilities. Our specialized care team works with you and your family to create a personalized memory care plan that takes into account your strengths and capabilities at the given moment. This ensures that you are able to do as much as you can for yourself and maintain a sense of independence. These care plans are also flexible and are able to change at any time due to you or your family’s discretion. 

At MorningStar, we believe that engaging in activities and socialization opportunities is an important aspect of maintaining independence for seniors with memory loss. Our community offers a variety of activities, including art and music therapy, cooking classes, and exercise programs for memory care residents. These activities not only provide opportunities for socialization and engagement but also help to stimulate the mind and improve cognitive function.

We understand the importance of maintaining connections with loved ones. Our community features comfortable common areas, such as living rooms and dining rooms, where residents can spend time with family and friends in a safe and secure environment. We also provide transportation to and from appointments, so that residents can continue to attend events and visit with loved ones outside of the community.

We understand that safety is a top concern for seniors with memory loss. Our community is designed with security in mind, featuring secure entry and exit points as well as a trained staff on duty 24 hours a day. This ensures that residents are able to move about the community with peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and secure.
