The Benefits of Companion Living in Assisted Living Communities

Living with a partner provides a sense of companionship, familiarity, and emotional support for seniors in need of memory care. After years of living together, seniors may not want to be separated from their partners, especially during a time when they may be experiencing health challenges or the need for assistance with daily living tasks. Companion living allows seniors to continue to share their lives together while receiving the care they need. However, this isn’t the only benefit of companion living for seniors. MorningStar offers companion living options for seniors in need of memory care because of the benefits of living with familiar friends or family members, the cost benefits, and enhanced safety and security.

MorningStar offers Companion Living in all of our communities, where two unrelated people of the same sex share a suite, whether in independent living, assisted living, or memory care. Couples can also live together in their own suites, surrounded by their own treasured possessions. Alternatively, suites can be shared by friends who simply enjoy one another’s company. Not only does this living arrangement enhance life through its camaraderie, but it also extends savings.

Companion living provides seniors struggling with memory loss with the opportunity to live with their partners and continue to enjoy each other's company. This can be especially important for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia who have been together for many years and may have difficulty adjusting to a new living situation without their partner. Companion living also provides socialization opportunities with other residents and staff members, reducing the risk of isolation and loneliness.

Companions living in assisted living communities can also provide enhanced safety and security for seniors and their partners because each partner will have closer attention to their loved one and can notice changes in behaviors and health. Assisted living communities like MorningStar are designed to provide a safe and secure memory care environment for residents. Staff members are available 24/7 to respond to emergencies, and many communities have security features such as locked entrances and video surveillance.
