An Array of Wellness Programs and Meaningful Activities

MorningStar at Bear Creek provides individualized memory care for those with mild to advanced stages of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.  Our holistic care is designed to affirm the dignity and value of the person within a supportive, loving atmosphere. 

MorningStar’s philosophy and approach to memory care is encompassed under the expanse of possibilities we call “Lavender Sky.” Under a Lavender Sky, our ambition is to thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore. To aid us in this quest, our Life Enrichment team provides a whole host of wellness programs and activities that help to connect with and nurture the essence of the person regardless of the level of memory loss. 

Our monthly calendar includes a variety of exercise classes appropriate for our residents’ level of fitness.  The classes start with a Sunday Stretch, to a Monday Movement, a Workout with Marcus on Tuesday, Wednesday Groove, Aerobic Thursday, Friday Fitness, and another Saturday Stretch class.  Residents are encouraged to participate in whatever capacity they are most comfortable with. 

We also offer lots of crafts throughout the month including holiday projects such as Marshmallow Shamrock Stamping, Fingerprint Four Leaf Clover Craft, and a Pot of Gold Craft in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.  Residents also had fun with in March with a variety of crafts that helped us get ready for Easter such as Egg Decorating, Stamped Easter Egg, Paper Plate Bunny, Tin Foil Easter Egg and a Bunny Banner Craft.

Additionally Bear Creek residents enjoy a range of games that not only use cognitive skills but are fun for staff and residents alike.  Examples include Alphabet Game, Sensory & Board Games, Bingo, IN2L Trivia, and more.  Furthermore, each month we have special events and programs such as performances from the School of Irish Dance Team, Paul Whitens on guitar, and Dan Garipy on piano.
