How to Better Communicate With your Parent in Memory Care

Alzheimer’s and other memory loss diseases like dementia are difficult to navigate if you are a child of a parent struggling with these diagnoses. Getting your parents or loved one to agree to simple everyday tasks may become frustrating and overwhelming for both of you in this situation. When it comes to taking care of themselves, a senior struggling with dementia may forget when they last bathed, had a meal, or reasons why they need to do these things in the first place. MorningStar Senior Living offers the most empathetic and holistic memory care Arvada co has to offer for seniors and their families looking for trustworthy memory care focused on unique and specialized care plans to help bridge the gap of communication between you and your parents struggling with memory loss.

As an assisted living facility specializing in memory care, we know you are doing everything in your power to provide the best care in the most efficient ways possible to your loved one. Barriers in language due to dementia can sometimes make communication hard and can become very frustrating. Receiving the proper level of care can help limit communication errors and leaves more time for you to have quality time with your parents. MorningStar of Arvada’s Assisted Living and Memory Care makes sure that at least one full-time licensed nurse is available for clinical concerns 24/7 in our community to make sure that your loved one’s health needs are being met. Not only this, but we can determine the exact level of care and assistance your parents may need through an initial medical assessment and cognitive evaluation so that your loved one is receiving the precise care for them.

If your parent or loved one is dealing with memory loss symptoms, you are probably worried they are not taking their medication consistently, eating regularly, or bathing routinely. This may lead to arguments between you two. MorningStar senior living keeps every resident on a manageable routine that helps to ease discomfort and to keep your loved one happy and healthy. Medication is monitored, healthy meals are provided and supervised, and any other assistance necessary is accommodated depending on your parent’s level of need.
