If you are looking for a Colorado
Springs community devoted to care
of those with dementia-related diseases, you will definitely
want to take a look at MorningStar
Memory Care at Bear Creek.
At Bear Creek, we take a gentle,
resident-directed approach to calm and awaken memories as well as to support
capabilities. Along with using multi-sensory
cues, including aromatherapy, our residents are provided with recreational and
meaningful activities including music, life skills, art, entertainers and
exercises.
According to the National Institute of
Health (NIH), “being physically active on a regular basis is one of the
healthiest things you can do for yourself,” and that “even moderate exercise
and physical activity can improve the health of people who are frail or who have
diseases that accompany aging.” At
MorningStar we could not agree more, which is why we offer scheduled exercise
every morning with programs such as: Chair Exercises, Morning Stretches, and
Circle Ball Exercises. In addition to
presenting creative ways to help our residents remain active, each day at Bear
Creek is filled with activities that simulate all five senses to feed the whole
body and brain. The result is often a noticeable difference in mood and
physical well-being.
One of our unique approaches to memory
care includes life skill stations where we incorporate a variety of props that
may have played a role in a person’s background to help awaken dormant
memories. When individuals with Alzheimer’s
and dementia
diseases are reminded of their past, they have the opportunity to take joy in
the present and feel calm and connected.
MorningStar at Bear Creek is a memory
care community that uses progressive methods to palliate symptoms and revive
joy. Our foundation is built on honoring
God, valuing all seniors and selecting staff with a felt calling to serve, and
we are devoted to creating a true home for residents within a serene
setting. Please contact us to schedule a
visit to experience firsthand our loving community.
