Socialization is One Benefit of Community Living

At MorningStar of Boulder, we know that senior retirement homes offer many benefits including the often-overlooked benefit of socialization.  Senior living provides a natural, easy way to be around people that share your interests as well as encourages older adults to stay engaged in life.  In fact, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has substantial research that shows socialization is an important component to our good health.  

One thing the NIH studies consistently found is a “strong correlation between social interaction and health and well-being among older adults.”  Moreover they found that social isolation may have significant adverse effects for older adults. They report that social relationships are strongly associated with biomarkers of health and that loneliness may have a physical as well as an emotional impact such as a higher risk for symptoms of depression. 

As MorningStar defines health and well-being holistically, we proudly offer services and programs that support the whole person: body, mind and spirit, and consider Wellness to be a joint effort between Life Enrichment and our Wellness Care Team.  In addition, we value all seniors as gifted and contributing individuals and are committed to creating a community that promotes a healthy, engaged lifestyle, while providing security and independence. 

Please visit MorningStar of Boulder’s website to learn more about our beautiful senior living community as well as our wellness programs and activities.  Our community has 48 suites for assisted living, and an additional 46 secure suites in our Reflections Neighborhood dedicated to caring for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

A Good Night’s Sleep is Essential to Your Wellbeing

Due to much research on the subject, we now know it is not only important to get a good night’s sleep but it is essential to our overall good health and wellbeing.  Sleeping balances our active life with the time our body needs to renew and rejuvenate. However, unfortunately with age comes a variety of health conditions that can interfere with getting a good night’s sleep. 

Experts explain that the elderly are more likely to “suffer from chronic insomnia characterized by difficulty maintaining sleep than difficulty initiating sleep.”  Suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) or sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and sleep apnea are more frequently seen in older adults and can result in poor sleep patterns.  We also know that bright sunlight helps to regulate melatonin (a hormone that promotes sleep) and sleep-wake cycles, and many elderly people do not spend enough time out-of-doors. 

Not getting an adequate amount of sleep each night can impact vitality and resilience that seniors need to age better.  In fact, insomnia is associated with poor health and mortality.  Lack of sleep can also increase older adults’ risk of a fall, and some studies suggest a history of sleep deprivation can increase the risk of cognitive problems.  Routinely napping during the day is another problem that interferes with a good night’s sleep. 

Tips for getting a better night’s sleep include avoiding eating and working late.  Experts say to turn off the TV and other smart devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime as the blue light emitted from electronics prevents the body from releasing melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep.  Follow a set bedtime, and right before you plan to go to sleep do some deep breathing and light stretching.  It is recommended we try to get eight to nine hours of sleep on most nights.   

MorningStar at Jordan offers 55 suites for assisted living and 29 secure suites devoted to the individualized, specialized care for residents with memory impairment.  Our spacious senior living residences are available in a variety of well-designed floor plans and have details reflective of those found throughout our beautifully appointed community.  Conveniently located in the south-central area of Metro Denver, our residents enjoy a wide assortment of resort-style amenities, enrichment programs and activities.  Please visit our website for more information.

MorningStar of Boulder’s Approach to Memory Care

All of our employees receive training in the program as we understand knowledge provides greater wisdom and insight into interacting with our most tender residents.  The eight hours of training includes the pathology behind the disease as well as communication techniques, and holistic solutions to dining, safety and challenging behaviors. 

Through Lavender Sky, our caregivers thoughtfully enter, embrace and explore the “purple world” of dementia as they crossover the physical and emotional boundaries that would otherwise separate us.

Help Us Fulfill Our Mission to Create Loving Homes for Seniors

If you think of yourself (or are treated) as just a housekeeper, we invite you to take your skills and experience and apply to one of our open housekeeping jobs in Denver.  Here you will be treated as much more than just part of the housekeeping staff but rather a valuable member of our entire team.  In order for us to live up to the high expectations families have of the Denver area MorningStar senior living communities, it takes the efforts of all staff members to achieve this goal.  Thus, we seek kind, caring individuals to fill every role in our homes including housekeepers.   

MorningStar housekeeping jobs are unique as we encourage housekeepers to build relationships with our remarkable residents as well as with fellow team members.  We know the power of relationships is priceless and is not only good for our residents but is the way to build a distinguished team of service professionals who feel called, connected and empowered.  Team members are encouraged to explore their unique gifts and reach their fullest potential, and as internal promotions are common within the company, you will have opportunities for career advancement.

Companion Living at MorningStar of Boulder

While seniors have discovered the many benefits of senior retirement homes, MorningStar of Boulder understands that for some older adults the cost may be too high to comfortably afford.  This is why we consider it part of our job to help area seniors find creative ways to make the move to assisted living possible.

One of the things we offer to make it more affordable is “Companion Living.”  Whether you wish to move into assisted living or memory care, Companion Living allows two unrelated people of the same sex to share the expense of a suite.  Furthermore, if you do not have a friend or relative to share a suite with, we will carefully pair you up with another senior who shares your interests and background. 

The advantage of companion living also goes far beyond economics as companionship is important for a person’s health and wellbeing. We believe we are designed by our Creator for relationships, and that isolation can drain us of energy and purpose.  When a senior loses their life partner after being married 40, 50, or 60 years, it can be a very lonely existence and a companion can help to diminish those feelings of loneliness, and help the person to reconnect. 

Offering built-in companionship, it can additionally help to ease the transition of moving into a senior living community.  Also, as roommates naturally look after each other’s interests, they may be the first one to notice changes in their roomies’ health or abilities.

Please visit our website to get an idea of the various amenities and services we offer as well as to set up a tour of our gorgeous community.  We are certain MorningStar of Boulder’s exceptional architecture and design will impress you from the first but the thing we are most proud of is our dedicated, loving team.
