Senior Living in Pasadena is More Affordable than You Thought

Seniors often brush aside the thought of moving into a senior living community as they believe it would be too costly, but in many cases it is much more affordable than it looks at first glance. The reason for this is people are not factoring in all of the services, amenities and other tangible and intangible benefits provided by community living. 

For example, if you need assistance with the ADLs (activities of daily living), you may already be paying for daily in-home care that in itself can add up. Experts estimate the rule of thumb for assisted living vs in-home care is if a person requires more than 40 hours per week of paid home care; assisted living may be a better bargain. 


Not to mention, you may need to factor in things like home modifications that need to be done to the home in order to safely live there. Structural changes like replacing a stairway, adding stair lifts, constructing a wheelchair ramp, or replacing a bathtub with a walk-in-shower can be costly, and often takes away from the homes resale value. There is also the aspect of no longer needing to shop for, and prepare meals. At MorningStar of Pasadena, our Executive Chef provides home-cooked meals using the freshest of ingredients including super foods known to support brain health with their high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. 


Another all too often overlooked value to senior living is the social aspect. Community life lends itself to making new friends and participating in activities as much or as little as a resident likes. For peace of mind, each of our apartments has an emergency call system.   


At the MorningStar of Pasadena senior living community, our 149 spacious suites are ready to move-into and offer high-end finishes, kitchenettes equipped with microwave and refrigerator, premium cabinets and counter tops, and handicap-accessible bathrooms. In case you wondered, we are pet-friendly but ask that you check our pet policy.

The Advantages That Come With Aging

An article from National Geographic explores the concept that there are ways our health can improve as we grow older, if we are open to it. Michelle Feng, chief clinical officer at Executive Mental Health and a licensed psychologist specializing in geriatric psychology and medicine, explains it this way: “Everyone talks about aging as this decline, but aging is just living. It literally means you are alive.” The key may lie in how we think. Studies find that holding positive views on old age is related to better cognitive health. It may also result in fewer mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Some studies even show those who think positively about the aging process live longer. One of the ways our health may improve with age is our ability to handle stress. Experts believe the experience we gain from going through various challenges throughout our lives prepares us with tried-and-true strategies on how to better manage today’s stressful situations. Moreover, a study i...

Knee Pain in Seniors

As we age, our knees take a beating. We use them to walk, stand and climb stairs, and they are used when we get up from a sitting or lying position. When our knees hurt, everyday tasks are harder to do. Chronic knee pain is often a form of arthritis that occurs when the cushioning cartilage protecting the knee joints starts to wear down. As more cartilage wears away, the space between the bones narrows resulting in bone rubbing against bone. Knee arthritis is a deteriorating condition, and in addition to pain, can cause deformities such as knock knees or bowlegs. Experts explain there are three forms of arthritis that affect the knee. The first is a degenerative joint disease called osteoarthritis; another is the autoimmune disease known as rheumatoid arthritis; and finally post-traumatic knee arthritis that happens with a history of injury or trauma. Factors increasing your risk for knee arthritis include the wear and tear that comes from age, being overweight, heredity, gender, and h...
