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.
