Assisted Living Care

ASSISTED LIVING

Welcoming your loved one into their next chapter, with open arms.

It may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be

When you’re thinking about important decisions for yourself and your family, it’s super important to explore different care options. Sunridge Assisted Living and Memory Care in Roy, Utah, has Options for Care, which is a fantastic place to begin. It’s not just a home; it’s a lively community where our residents can savor delicious crêpes, join in daily activities, and build new friendships. Every day is a chance to reconnect and make new memories. Basically, it’s a safe, peaceful, and never lonely space.

Living Your Super LIfe

Dr. Bill Thomas, a geriatrician, observed that traditional medical interventions were insufficient in addressing the core issues faced by residents in assisted living communities care. He identified three primary afflictions: boredom, loneliness, and helplessness. To combat these, he introduced the Eden Alternative, a philosophy aimed at transforming care environments into habitats filled with plants, animals, and meaningful human connections. This approach not only reduced medication usage and mortality rates but also enriched the lives of residents by providing them with purpose and engagement. edenalt.org

Building upon this foundation, the "Living Your Super Life" program seeks to infuse residents' daily routines with purpose and joy. The program emphasizes comfort in simple pleasures such as companionship, engaging in everyday activities, savoring good food, enjoying music, and basking in natural sunlight.

The program's goals and objectives include:

Holistic Activities: Incorporating physical, intellectual, social, vocational, educational, emotional, and spiritual dimensions into daily schedules.
Quality Programming: Offering up to five well-organized activities daily, including weekends and evenings.
Volunteer Engagement: Establishing a robust volunteer program to enhance resident interactions.
Resident Participation: Encouraging all residents to partake in various activities, fostering a sense of community.
Personalized Assessments: Completing activity assessments within a week of a resident's move-in to tailor programs that align with their purpose and interests.
Independence and Choice: Promoting autonomy by offering residents choices in their daily activities.
Creative Activity Naming: Developing engaging and culturally relevant names for activities to spark interest.
Highlight Activities: Designating a daily "WOW" activity to create memorable experiences.
Resident Identification: Providing name badges to foster familiarity and community.
Community Sharing: Maintaining a monthly Facebook group to share ideas, successes, and address challenges.

To further enhance community involvement, several committees are established:

Welcoming Committee: Assisting new residents in acclimating to the community.
Community Election Committee: Facilitating resident participation in community decisions.
Volunteer Committee: Coordinating volunteer efforts to support activities and events.
Activity Committee: Planning and organizing diverse and engaging activities.
Birthday Committee: Celebrating residents' birthdays to make them feel special.
Compassion Committee: Providing support during times of illness or loss and offering companionship.
Family Member Committee: Engaging family members in the community to strengthen bonds and support networks.

By focusing on these comprehensive strategies, the "Living Your Super Life" program aims to create an environment where residents not only live but thrive with a renewed sense of purpose and community.

WHEN IS IT TIME FOR ASSISTED LIVING?

Deciding when to move a loved one into assisted living can be challenging. While some independence is given up, assisted living often provides a safer, more supportive environment that enhances their quality of life. Signs it might be time include concerns about their safety at home, mobility issues, poor nutrition, or difficulty managing medications. Acting proactively, rather than waiting for an accident, allows your loved one to maintain dignity, enjoy companionship, and receive the care they need to live more independently and comfortably.
