The Benefits of an Active Lifestyle for Memory Care Residents

Participating in an active lifestyle is highly beneficial for a senior with dementia or Alzheimer’s. An active lifestyle can mean anything from participating in group stretches, going on daily walks with a chaperone, working on crafts or other hobbies, and socializing. At MorningStar at Beaverton, you can find the most social senior living community Oregon has to offer seniors with memory care needs.

Engaging in activities plays a significant role in managing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. While a senior struggling with memory loss may not be able to drive a car or play sports, there are still plenty of activities that will keep them feeling fulfilled and happy. With some assistance, seniors in memory care will begin to live full lives again. With our art therapies, active community, and exciting social events, our life enrichment teams are sure to provide your loved one with a vast array of activities they’ll enjoy.

Understanding the individual with dementia better helps our community plan activities for them that they will enjoy. We take a person-centered approach to memory care at MorningStar Senior Living. This means getting to know your loved one’s lifestyle and routine, former activities and hobbies, career history, social interests, and even past travel excursions and significant life events. Our person-centered memory care approach makes use of your loved one’s skills that have not been forgotten. Through this technique, families can see improvements in their loved one’s behavior and overall happiness.
