How to Make Memory Care Feel More Like Home

Creating a sense of home for seniors who are transitioning to memory care is essential for their well-being and comfort. At MorningStar, we understand that seniors’ comfort with their living situation is just as important as the care they receive. By incorporating elements of familiarity into our memory care community, we help seniors to feel a deep sense of belonging and comfort in their new assisted living home. 

While our contemporary community provides 112 bright and refreshing independent and assisted living suites, they are also smartly designed for safety and relaxation. For those in need of memory care, our Reflections Neighborhood offers all-inclusive care for seniors with dementia and has its own common rooms and enclosed courtyard.

 The suites at MorningStar are all unfurnished and we encourage our residents to personalize their living spaces. Incorporating familiar objects and belongings from a previous home is very calming to a senior with memory loss. Personal items like photographs, cherished mementos, and familiar furniture and fabrics will evoke a sense of familiarity and comfort that will aid in the acclimation process of moving into memory care.

By offering individualized care plans, the staff at MorningStar works to create predictable daily routines for seniors in assisted living and memory care. Incorporating lifestyles that mimic their previous routines provides a sense of stability for seniors struggling with memory loss and can help them feel more at ease in their environment.
