When searching for senior living
options, many people are not entirely sure what the term “assisted
living” means. We will
try and clarify. One of the first things
to know is assisted living is not just another word for a nursing home. Nor does it offer the same level of care and typically
is not as expensive.
So, what is assisted living? Assisted living is designed for seniors who
want to retain their independence but require some assistance with daily
personal care activities. While not all
assisted living communities are the same in terms of the level of care,
typically assisted living provides services for activities like bathing and
dressing as well as prepared meals.
At assisted living communities such as
Santa Fe, New Mexico’s new MorningStar of Santa Fe, we create individualized
care plans for each resident after talking with them and their
family. Furthermore, during the course of your stay, your care plan will be
regularly reviewed to ensure it addresses your needs. Also, regardless of the level of care, all
residents receive the assurance of having 24/7 onsite Care Managers who help to
ensure their safety and meet their every need.
As a resident of MorningStar, you will
get three daily meals that are meticulously prepared largely from scratch by
our Executive Chef. Each meal is both
nutritional and delicious and we modify recipes to address a number of
different dietary restrictions including low sodium or low fat, sugar-free, no
sugar, and vegetarian options.
In addition, our assisted living
residents will have the opportunity to participate
in a range of activities and programs that are designed to
promote physical, intellectual and spiritual wellness. Please visit our website for contact
information to learn more about MorningStar of Santa Fe’s gorgeous new
