3 More Gadgets All Seniors Must Have to Make Their Lives Easier


3. Personal Emergency Response Systems:


Many seniors live alone, and for those people, a personal emergency response system (PERS) can be a lifesaver. These devices are usually worn around the neck or on the wrist and have a button that can be pressed to immediately summon help in the event of a fall or other emergency. PERS devices typically use GPS to send your location to the emergency response center, so help can be dispatched even if you can’t speak. Some systems also come with a two-way communications feature, so you can speak to the dispatcher directly. Some PERS systems can also monitor your vital signs and send alerts if they detect a change that could indicate a health problem, and the GPS tracking feature also allows caregivers or staff in senior living communities to know the whereabouts of the seniors at all times, providing peace of mind.

4. Medical Alert Watches:


For seniors who want a more discreet way to summon help in an emergency, a medical alert watch may be a better solution. These watches are designed to look like regular watches but have a button that can be pressed to call for help. Some also come with features like fall detection and GPS tracking. Medical alert watches are usually worn all the time, so they can be a good option for those who may not always remember to carry their PERS device with them.

5. GPS Tracking Devices


GPS tracking devices can be used for a variety of purposes, but they can be especially helpful for seniors. For example, some devices can be worn as pendants or bracelets and will send an alert to a caregiver if the wearer wanders outside of a certain area. These devices can be particularly useful for seniors who need memory care.

MorningStar at Arcadia’s mission statement of “to honor, to value, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living communities. We have built a foundation on honoring God, valuing our seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve. Set in a warm, loving atmosphere with beautiful surroundings and resort-style amenities, we provide outstanding assisted living and memory care.

Receive the Care You Need at MorningStar of Albuquerque


Does your elderly mom or dad dismiss the idea of assisted living fearing it would end their independence and life as they know it? Do they think assisted living homes are more like nursing homes of the past? We want to reassure you and your senior loved one that assisted living communities such as MorningStar of Albuquerque are not nursing homes. In fact, we do not offer skilled nursing services but rather provide assistance with the ADLs (activities of daily living), along with engaging activities and other services intended to improve and enhance quality of life.

It is important to a senior’s overall health that they receive proper care as the website Aging.com reports, “Functional status and the ability to care for oneself have a significant impact on a senior's quality of life. Unmet needs for help with activities of daily living can lead to malnutrition, poor personal hygiene, isolation, illnesses like urinary tract infections (UTIs), and falls.” In fact, studies show seniors getting assistance with the ADLs allows them to feel like they are in control of their life again and helps them regain a sense of self-worth and purpose.

At MorningStar of Albuquerque, we know seniors have a lot to offer and the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless. We act upon this truth daily, as we care for, inspire, and love the residents under our roof. Our beautiful community offers 48 graciously appointed suites for assisted living in a variety of floorplans. In addition, the Reflections Neighborhood provides 21 secure suites devoted to the individualized care of residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.

We also offer respite care for those recovering from surgery or an illness, as well as short-term stays from one week up to a full month to see if we are a good fit.

2 Gadgets All Seniors Must Have to Make Their Lives Easier


As people age, they often find that their homes need to be adapted to accommodate their changing needs. This may include widened doorways for wheelchair access, grab bars in the bathroom, or rails on the stairs.

But adapting your home is not the only way to make your life easier as you age. There are also a number of gadgets that can help you live independently and safely in your own home or in a senior living community.

In this article, we will take a look at some of the best gadgets for seniors that can make day-to-day life a little easier.

1. Medication Timers and Pill Dispensers


Adjusting to a medication regimen can be difficult for older adults. According to the National Council on Aging, 1 out of every 5 seniors fails to take their medications as prescribed. To ensure that medications are taken on time, seniors who need memory care may want to consider investing in a medication timer or pill dispenser. These devices come with a range of features, such as audible alarms, reminders via your smartphone, and even text messages if you don’t respond to other reminders. Some also come with pill containers, so you don’t have to remember to fill up your weekly pill box in advance. This can be especially helpful for those who take multiple medications and need to remember to take each one at the right time.

2. Automated Voice Assistants


Smart speakers such as Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home are becoming ever more popular, and for a good reason. Not only do they provide access to music, news, and other entertainment, but they can also be used as digital assistants. Automated voice assistants are perfect for seniors in assisted living since they can set reminders, control other smart home devices, and even research information with just a single voice command. By using an automated voice assistant, seniors can save time and energy by having the assistant do tasks that they would otherwise have to do themselves. They can also save money by using an Alexa device to compare prices and even order items online without having to leave the house. Voice assistants can also be used to read books aloud, play games, and so much more.

MorningStar at Arcadia’s mission statement of “to honor, to value, to invest” sets us apart from other senior living communities. We have built a foundation on honoring God, valuing our seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve. Set in a warm, loving atmosphere with beautiful surroundings and resort-style amenities, we provide outstanding assisted living and memory care.

Our goal is to provide the best assisted living Albuquerque, NM offers, with the services and care needed to give residents the best quality of life. Our beautiful community offers 48 private assisted living suites including spacious studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floorplans (some over 700 square feet).

The Many Benefits of Stretching Exercises

If you are a senior who is having difficulty turning your neck to look behind you when driving, having problems getting up from a low chair or difficulty picking something up from the floor, you may find adding stretches to your routine can really improve these types of motions. Stretching exercises also help seniors improve flexibility and balance, both of which lower a person’s risk of falls and injuries. Experts explain stretching gives seniors a better range of movement in their joints, helps improve posture, increases circulation and releases muscle tension and soreness. 

The Journal of Gerontology reported on the results of a 12-month stretch and flex program for older adults. It found “participants demonstrated positive changes in areas like physical fitness, self-efficacy, perceived functioning, and well-being. They also experienced a decrease in pain.” Along with the favorable benefits stretching provides, it can be done anywhere and does not require any special equipment. However, before beginning any new exercise routine, be sure to consult with your healthcare provider regarding your fitness level and the type of stretches most appropriate for you. 


Another thing to remember is it is important to warm up before stretching. Experts say it can be doing something as simple as a walk around the block. Additionally, they warn not to stretch to the point of pain, only to the point of tension. A stretch can typically be held for 30 seconds, but do not bounce when you stretch. 


MorningStar at Arcadia is a senior living community in Phoenix with 80 private assisted living suites in various floorplans (including penthouse suites).  In addition, our Reflections Neighborhood has 30 memory care suites devoted to the specialized care of those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Our goal is to enhance quality of life for our residents, and we do this through a full range of care and hospitality services, amenities, and a component of wellness programs and activities. Please contact us or visit our website for more information.

The Transition to an Assisted Living Community

No matter how old we are, change can be challenging. For seniors who have had just that much more time to get used to the way things are, a change in the status quo can be difficult. When faced with a change in lifestyle and residence, a person may mourn what they perceive as a loss of their independence and younger self, and the loss of a home filled with a lifetime of memories. However, regardless of how we long to keep things the same, change is a fact of life; and for many seniors, life could be better with a little daily help. 

When mom or dad would benefit from the many services offered by assisted living, there are a few things families can do to help ease the transition. To start with, senior care specialists recommend making the effort to set up mom or dad’s new suite with familiar, well-loved furnishings and mementos rather than buying all new things.


Another important step toward a smooth transition is to give it time. Experts say it generally takes anywhere from three to six months to adjust to community life, but in some cases, residents settle into it quickly. If your parent is one to make a slow adjustment, remember why the move was necessary in the first place including a real concern for their safety and well-being as well as your need for peace of mind. 


Some experts say it may be helpful to limit your visits and phone calls to allow your parents some time to find their own way. Also, if they want to vent about how unhappy they are, give them some space to do so. Validating their feelings can help them work through their fears and uncertainty about the changes they are experiencing. 


At MorningStar of Santa Fe, our team is experienced in helping new residents feel at home and work with both them and their family to help with the transition. We offer assisted living and memory care along with luxury amenities, wellness programs and activities designed to enhance quality of life. Contact us or visit our website for more information about trusted senior living in Santa Fe, NM.

MorningStar takes tremendous pride in the reputation we have earned for excellence and authenticity since our inception in 2003.  We believe the human capacity to grow, to learn and to contribute is ageless; and we act upon that truth daily, as we care for, inspire, and love the residents under our roof.

Communicating with a Loved One with Dementia


The Alzheimer’s Association has some effective tips for communicating with a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. As the ability to find the right words or to speak at all is one of the effects of the devastating disease, it is helpful to learn some tips to make the communication process easier.

Typically, in the early stages of the disease, individuals repeat themselves often and can easily lose their train of thought. They may start to avoid speaking and have trouble following a conversation, and may even use gestures rather than words. Experts suggest at this stage that you make sure to address the person directly, don’t speak through a caregiver, and allow them plenty of time to answer you back.

The middle stages of the disease can signal lots of changes and usually lasts the longest. If you wish to speak with the individual, make sure to do it in a quiet space without any distractions. Your questions should be short and only require a simple yes or no answer, and again, look directly at the person. In addition, you can demonstrate the task or give clear, step-by-step instructions. Also use a soft voice and calm demeanor, and above all else, be patient and loving.

In the late stages of the disease, which can last from a few weeks to several years, the Alzheimer’s Association suggests using nonverbal forms of communication. When entering the person’s presence, always identify yourself and use the sound of your voice to convey the meaning of your words. Experts recommend using touch, sight, sound, smell and taste to communicate, and as always, treat the individual with respect and dignity.

At MorningStar of Albuquerque, we have suites for both assisted living and the specialized care of those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases. Our goal is to be the best senior living Albuquerque offers, providing residents with a lifestyle of comfort, wellness and community. Please visit our website to learn more.

The Benefits of Assisted Living

Many times, a move to assisted living is not only good for the senior but for the family as well. Mom or dad living alone, perhaps already experiencing a fall or another type of health emergency, is stressful for everybody involved. 

Senior living experts point out the benefits of receiving attentive senior care along with services like nutritional meals, access to meaningful programs and transportation to and from appointments. At communities like MorningStar of Santa Fe, we sit down with in-coming residents to create a Personalized Service Plan designed to help with the ADLs (activities of daily living), which include things like bathing, grooming, transferring (such as from bed to a wheelchair), feeding and toileting. 


Dee Pekruhn, director of life plan communities’ services and policy for LeadingAge, the association of nonprofit providers of aging services, says, “Whether they stand alone or are part of a larger continuing care campus, assisted living communities offer a wide variety of community and social activities.” These typically include arts and crafts, physical exercise classes such as chair yoga, live concerts and other entertainment, and educational and technology classes. At MorningStar, we tell our residents if we don’t already have a class addressing one of your interests, to start one. 


Special outings and trips are another component of many senior living communities including MorningStar of Santa Fe. Bus trips to local, scenic spots, or trips to shopping or cultural events are just some of the activities enjoyed by residents.  


Another important service is medication management as statistics show the average older adult takes four or more prescription drugs each day, and as high as 39 percent of seniors take five or more. Medical management ensures seniors take the proper medication they need, when they need it. 


MorningStar of Santa Fe has 56 stylish assisted living suites as well as 29 suites in our Reflections Neighborhood devoted to the care of those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases. Amenities include a courtyard with mountain views and kiva fireplace, strolling paths, raised garden beds, fitness room, chapel/theatre, bistro and salon.  Chef inspired meals are served all day in our full-service dining room with an open kitchen. Visit our website to see what sets our community apart from other senior housing Santa Fe, NM offers, and why our residents are happy to call MorningStar “home.”

Steps to Enhance Memory Function and Overall Brain Health

In an article in the US News & World Report, experts say forgetfulness is not an inevitable part of growing older and there are things we can do to help maintain and enhance our memory function and overall brain health.  Furthermore, they also benefit whole body health.      

One of the first things they recommend is to never stop making “physical activity a priority as it optimizes blood flow to the entire body, including the brain.  An adequate supply of blood and oxygen to the brain helps to keep our memories sharp.”  Researchers explain that the type of exercise is also important and recommend a minimum of 30 minutes a day of cardio exercise such as running, power walking, biking, or swimming.  However, before beginning any new exercise regime, be sure to check with your healthcare provider.  


In addition, continuing to learn new things can improve our memory as studies have found a correlation between challenging our brain and maintaining brain health.  This could include activities such as playing an instrument, starting a new hobby, learning a language, or just broadening your reading habits.  


Other advice that not only enhances cognitive thinking but overall health includes getting enough sleep each night.  Research has shown that “powering down on a nightly basis allows the brain to heal and restore itself, clearing toxins that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia types.”


What sets MorningStar at Arcadia apart from other senior living Phoenix offers?  We strive to provide a true “home” for our residents and have a team committed to serving seniors who treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve.  Our loving, around-the-clock care encompasses the physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing of our residents.

Choosing the Right Memory Care for a Loved One


Searching for memory care for a loved one that suits the person’s needs as well as the family’s is challenging at best. Knowing the person is dependent on getting the level of care they need for both their wellbeing and safety makes choosing the right home essential. Experts say start by taking your time to think about your loved one’s needs including daily personal care required such as dressing, toileting, bathing, etc. as well as any on-going medical needs.

Additionally, do they have mobility issues and use a wheelchair or a walker; or do they need assistance eating? If the person is known to wander, you will want a secure home to keep him or her safe including alarms on the doors. Another thing experts say is to let the community know if the person is prone to angry outbursts or other aggressive behaviors.

Once you have a good idea of your loved one’s needs, now consider if the homes you are looking at are equipped to handle those needs. Ask about living arrangements, dining service, and the level of daily help the person will receive. Moreover, does the community offer exercise programs and other meaningful activities?

Now inquire about the homes’ experience with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, and the training the staff has in dementia care. What is the home’s philosophy of care and how do they approach difficult situations such as aggressive behaviors? Most of all does the staff seem caring and do residents appear to be content and well-looked after?

At MorningStar, our mission is to provide the best senior living Albuquerque has to offer, which includes compassionate and loving memory care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases. Every aspect of our Reflections Neighborhood is geared toward residents’ care from meaningful activities, trained caregivers, food service, and security.

Does a Loved One with Alzheimer’s Disease Need More Care?

A Place for Mom’s website offers some advice to families regarding the need for memory care for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. They explain early-on in the disease, many individuals are capable of living independently with family members overseeing some of their care. However, they also warn symptoms can vary from day to day and it can be difficult to know exactly when a person requires more supervision for their safety and wellbeing. 

Dr. Philip Branshaw, an internal medicine specialist in Batavia, Illinois, says when speaking to families, he centers the conversation regarding additional care for their loved one on the “ability to perform activities of daily living and safety.” ADLs include things like dressing, bathing, eating and toileting. 


Other questions doctors may ask to evaluate a person’s ability to live on their own include: is he or she having trouble finding their way back home from familiar neighborhood routes? Are they forgetting to eat or drink and take medications? Is the person’s safety at risk? Have they left the stove on, have unexplained bruises, or had several falls recently?


Medical experts say it is important to let the person’s healthcare providers know as soon as you suspect a problem. They can do tests to rule out other conditions that may be causing the confusion or memory loss; and take a look at the person’s medications to see if they are the problem. Also, if a diagnosis is made early-on, the person has the chance to weigh-in regarding care options down the road. 


Along with assisted living, Phoenix’s MorningStar at Arcadia has 30 suites devoted to the care of those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases.  Our holistic care is individualized for each resident and designed to stimulate or calm in response to a particular mood or situation.  Each day is filled with activities that incorporate music, dance, art, aromatherapy, or animals to heal and comfort residents.  Visit our website to learn more about our beautiful home, our team and our company’s philosophy to care.


MorningStar is guided by a culture rooted in our mission of honoring God, valuing seniors, and investing in our team, which allows us to deliver services with warmth, sincerity and depth of purpose. We have built a reputation for creating true homes filled with an atmosphere of love and community. Please contact us to learn more about the finest memory care and assisted living Phoenix offers.

Keep Important Documents Close at Hand


In the event of a medical emergency or illness, to file income taxes, or apply for state or federal benefits, experts say it is helpful and maybe even lifesaving for seniors to have their paperwork in order. Important documents to have available to a family member or trusted friend include property deeds, history of financial income and medical information. For example, Stuart Furman, A Place for Mom legal expert and elder attorney, explains if your parents are eligible to apply for veterans’ benefits or Medicaid, they will need proof of past income and financial resources.

If you are the designated person, start by helping your parents compile a record of their bank accounts as well as sources of financial income including pensions, 401(k) information, and annuity contracts. In addition, help them organize information regarding savings bonds, stock certificates, or brokerage accounts. File these documents along with all property deeds and titles to vehicles in a home safe where they are secure. Files should also include several years of income taxes as well as a list of credit cards and outstanding loans or debts owed to them.

If your parents have a living will and/or a durable power of attorney, you should have a copy as it is important in the case of a medical emergency to be able to quickly get your hands on such documents. Other things medical professionals say are important to get your hands on quickly is a list of medications your parents are taking, their medical history and insurance cards. Other types of documents to safely file or to create include end of life planning and estate planning.

If you are looking for exceptional senior living, Albuquerque’s MorningStar community offers a true home distinguished by comfort, wellness and love.
