Benefits of Letting an Assisted Living Facility Take Care of Your Senior for You

You know your senior loved one better than anyone else. When the time comes to determine whether your loved one requires focused care, choosing whether to transition your loved one to an assisted living facility can be one of the most important decisions you can ever expect to make.

According to several studies, around seven out of 10 Americans require long-term care after they reach the age of 65 years old. Although making the transition to an assisted living facility in Rio Rancho, New Mexico is a tough decision, the benefits of letting a senior housing facility take care of a loved one make the decision much easier.

Around-the-Clock Personalized Care

Because of a hectic schedule, you cannot expect to provide constant personalized care for your loved one. However, at our assisted living facility in Rio Rancho, we offer around-the-clock personalized care such as nursing care, behavior monitoring, and medication administration. MorningStar at Rio Rancho offers personalized care 24/7 by implementing a holistic approach to providing healthcare services.

Active Daily Schedule

Our residents enjoy a high level of independence, especially when it comes to participating in daily activities. An active senior is less likely to develop memory loss issues, as well as experience a decline in physical capabilities. According to a research study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, older Americans that follow an active lifestyle develop slower rates of memory decline. Our active schedule includes putting on social events once a month, as well as scheduling outings that include trips to cultural attractions like the ABQ BioPark Zoo. We also provide several amenities such as a swimming pool that keeps our residents on the go throughout the day. 

Comprehensive Safety Features

One of the top concerns for your loved one is to live in a safe environment. When driving becomes unsafe and/or your senior can no longer cook dinner at home safely, the time has arrived to consider moving your loved one into an assisted living facility in Rio Rancho. Because of our low caregiver-to-resident ratio, MorningStar at Rio Rancho delivers on its promise to protect the health of our residents. Our team of caregivers completes comprehensive safety training programs to ensure they comply with every safety and security standard established by MorningStar.

Many of our apartments include safety features such as an alert system that allows us to respond immediately to any safety and security issues.

More Free Time for You

Not every benefit of an assisted living facility is enjoyed by your loved one. You free up much more of your time because you no longer have to perform household chores, as well as work on home improvement projects for your loved one. Say goodbye to cleaning, cooking, and maintaining the appearance of your loved one’s yard. With renewed peace of mind, you can relax during days that are now consumed by providing personalized care for your senior loved one.

MorningStar’s mission statement “to honor, to value, to invest” emphasizes the importance that we place on providing personalized care for seniors. Our foundation operating principle is based on honoring God by valuing the contributions residents make to our community. Located in a comfortable setting surrounded by spectacular views of the nearby mountains, the MorningStar senior housing facility in Rio Rancho, NM provides superior assisted living and memory care services.
