A Message to the Spouse or Adult Child of a Senior with Memory Loss
Assisted living facilities cannot replace you, nor your love for your family member or spouse. While it may feel selfish or guilt inflicting to consider other living options for your loved one with extra needs, it’s quite the opposite. As a caregiver, you live a busy life; you have a family, a job, and household upkeep to look after. When you are living a preoccupied life while also trying to give care to an elderly loved one, it may feel as though you are falling short, with things slipping through the cracks. Assisted living facilities are an extra tool to supply better senior care, not a replacement for the family.
You might feel apprehensive about turning your role of caregiver over to someone else, despite your self-sacrifice taking its toll on your own health and well-being. Please know that at MorningStar of Sparks, we are here not to replace you, but to walk beside you and be a loving presence in your family's life. As an assisted living facility, MorningStar is aware of the time, dedication, and exhaustion families experience when caring for their loved one with memory deterioration. Our expertise is caring for the unique needs of our residents through empathy, community, and rigorous staff training based on morals and values.
Within its communities, MorningStar offers assisted living with support at various levels that varies depending on the resident. This support aims to help complete the activities of daily living, while still encouraging independence and exploration. 24-7 Care Managers are on site to ensure your comfort that your loved one’s safety is in prompt and able hands in the event an accident does occur.
