Assisted Living Provides Support With the Activities of Daily Living

The U.S. News & World Report explains, “Assisted living is for older adults who need help with activities of daily living but don’t yet require intensive medical care.” Signs a person may be ready for more hands-on care include worsening medical conditions and trouble taking care of personal hygiene due to mobility issues. Another sign indicating that the individual would benefit from an assisted living environment is they have recently had a fall. 

Assisted living offers perks such as restaurant-style dining, luxury amenities, and opportunities for social activities as well as services that are designed to improve quality of life and allow residents to comfortably and safely age in place. Typical senior care services include medication management, 24/7 caregivers, hospitality services and a physical environment equipped with safety features such as a handicapped-accessible bathroom; and well-lite, wide hallways, elevators and emergency call systems. 

At MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena, our assisted living residents enjoy all of this and more.  Our many amenities include a full salon and onsite movie theatre, which means residents do not have to risk driving off-site for errands or routine self-care services. For those appointments off-site, we provide scheduled transportation services.

Our fitness center and daily exercise classes help residents stay as fit as possible and generally they have fun doing it. In addition, MorningStar’s life enrichment team presents creative ways to stay active and productive physically, mentally, spiritually and socially.    

Our fashionable four-story building features 116 suites for independent living with a choice of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans. For those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, our Reflections Neighborhood provides an additional 28 suites in a choice of studio or one-bedroom units.
