Dementia Care Offering Wellness Programs and Meaningful Activities

MorningStar at Englefield Green 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 dementia 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 Sunday Strong, to Monday Movements, Tuesday Workout, Wednesday Workout, Aerobic Thursday, Friday Fitness, and Saturday Strong.  Residents are encouraged to participate in whatever capacity they are most comfortable with. 

Additionally, Englefield Green residents enjoy a range of activities and games that not only use cognitive skills but are fun for staff and residents alike.  Examples include Brain Games, Craft Corner, Bingo, Trivia Time, Baking Buddies and much more.  Furthermore, each month we have special events and programs such as the sounds of Cowboy Andres, Dan Costello on guitar, and an Apple Pie Social while enjoying Rachel play the harp.
