When
a parent or spouse is suffering from Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia, there
are many challenges a family goes through.
It is traumatizing to get a diagnosis of the disease both for the individual
as well as for the entire family. As you
come to terms with the devastating news, you are likely left with lots of
questions including what will happen in the future and who will be there to provide
the type of assisted
living care your loved one will need.
At
MorningStar
of Sparks, we want you to know we are here to help. As dementia care experts, we provide
specialized, individualized memory care in our Reflections Neighborhood and are
equipped to care for those from the onset of the disease all the way through to
the most advanced stages. Before
residents even move in, we meet with them and their family to get to know their
background, vocation, talents and preferences. We then use that
information to help create a daily routine designed to stimulate or calm, in
response to a particular mood or situation.
Our
holistic approach to memory care focuses on nurturing and supporting the
essence of the individual regardless of the extent of the memory loss, and our
team of compassionate caregivers feels privileged to serve seniors. We use gentle, resident-directed methods to
calm and awaken memories and to support each resident’s capabilities. Common techniques include using multi-sensory
cues such as aromatherapy as well as a range of meaningful and purposeful
activities that incorporate art, music, and life skills.
In addition, our Reflections
Neighborhood provides daily health monitoring, assistance with meals prepared
by our Executive Chef, scheduled outings and special events, and a secure patio
and courtyard for the exclusive use of our memory care residents. Our memory care suites
accommodate a resident’s own furniture and mementos
so they are sure to feel right at home.
The
unique mission statement of MorningStar of Sparks, “to honor, to serve, to
invest,” sets us apart from other senior living communities. Our foundation is
built upon honoring God, valuing all seniors, and investing in staff with a
felt calling to serve. Dedicated to creating a real home for residents within a
beautiful setting, we encourage you to see for yourself our exceptional
offering for independent living, assisted living and memory care in Sparks, NV.
