How Much Do You Know About Today's Senior Retirement Homes?

Many people think they already know everything there is to know about senior retirement homes – “a place where old people go to die.” This could not be further from the truth. As the largest assisted living referral service, a Place for Mom explains, “senior assisted living is a viable option that can enhance your quality of life by empowering you to live that life the way you want to.” Today’s vibrant communities include independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those needing help with personal daily care activities, and memory care. 

In fact assisted living communities such as MorningStar of Boulder are specifically designed to give aging adults the opportunity to maintain their independence while providing access to the assistance they need. In addition they get the benefit of built-in companionship as well as a range of meaningful wellness programs and activities. 

Another misconception about senior retirement homes is that you will have to give up your privacy. At our community, residents have a choice of spacious private suites in a variety of floorplans with their own separate entrance. Each suite is ready to move into and just needs your furnishings and personal items. 

Also did you know that many of today’s communities including ours are pet friendly? We recognize that for many seniors, their pet is a part of their family, and it is essential to their wellbeing to bring that member along with them as they transition to assisted living. 

People sometimes worry that moving into senior living may further remove them from the comfort and security of knowing their family’s help is not far away. At MorningStar of Boulder, you no long need to worry about the risks of living alone. We offer the comfort and security of 24/7 care so that if you need assistance in the middle of the night, someone is right there to help.
