Put the Last Year Behind You, and Start Living Life to the Fullest

The yearning for the things we used to take for granted such as spending time with family and friends, going out to eat, or seeing a movie has taken a toll. While we experienced a range of emotions during the pandemic, many of us are now vaccinated and more than ready to resume or perhaps make some changes in our lives. This is especially true for the many seniors who socially isolated for months. 

If you are someone craving an active social life, a move to a senior living community may be the answer. MorningStar at Silver Lake offers both independent living and assisted living to adults 55+ and is the ideal place to meet new friends, take part in a range of activities or pursue your hobbies.

If you were wondering how safe our communities are, we have an update. During the first quarter of 2021, MorningStar communities hosted several vaccine clinics and vaccine acceptance rate among residents is 94%. While the aggravated impact of COVID on seniors is now an acknowledged fact, we understand the choice to be vaccinated is wholly personal, and one made after an individual has a balanced understanding of the benefits and risks. We consider it our responsibility to present information from authoritative agencies, which we supplement with our own “Back2Hugs” initiative. 

We are currently reemerging and starting back up many of the activities and programs MorningStar is known for including meals in our dining rooms, welcoming back third-party providers and in-suite family visits. All decisions regarding our residents’ safety are done in adherence with CDC guidelines and those of Washington State.  

Along with independent living and assisted living, MorningStar at Silver Lake offers respite care (short recuperative stays) and trial stays from a week to a full month to see if we are a good fit. The MorningStar Senior Living Company has proudly earned a reputation for family satisfaction second to none.

Balance Problems Are Common in Older Adults

The statistics of older adults taking a fall each year are alarming, and consequences can impact the person’s independence, or in the worst case, be deadly. Experts say as we age, our bodies may start to feel less stable due to things like a loss of muscle mass, lack of flexibility and slower reflexes. Poor balance and dizziness can also be a result of medical problems including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, poor vision, thyroid, nerves, or blood vessels as well as medications. Another culprit interfering with balance is inner ear problems. The labyrinth is a part of the inner ear that controls balance and when it becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause lots of problems including vertigo. The condition called Labyrinthitis generally is a result of other issues such as head injuries, viral or bacterial infections, and circulatory system conditions like strokes or low blood pressure. The National Institute on Aging says families and caregivers should be on the lookout for an older ...

Benefits for Assisted Living Available to Eligible Veterans or Surviving Spouse

Residents of the MorningStar Senior Living communities include veterans from all branches of the military and we are honored to serve them. As a MorningStar team member eloquently said, “Seniors speak powerfully to the fact that freedom comes at a cost. It requires that you choose to do the right thing which almost always includes sacrifice. Whether it’s time, money or comfort, those who came before us chose to sacrifice to build a better society.” When we meet a potential resident who is a veteran or a surviving spouse of a vet, and in need of assisted living ; we are pleased to direct them to a “Financial Concierge.” These financial services experts have the knowledge to ease and quicken the application process for “Aid & Attendance,” which is a benefit offered through the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Aid & Attendance benefits are a tax-free pension paid directly to a qualified veteran or their spouse in the form of monthly payments, which is subject to change annuall...
