Five Star Senior Living

I think this place is great. Larger, sunnier, and more features than Brightview Catonsville.

We've had a good experience, and we have enjoyed the experience. She has a lot of needs and wants and they have been very accommodating, and in general they do what they say they are going to do. There are some people that aren't exactly perfect, but nobody is perfect all the time. Wherever there has been a problem it was taken care of immediately. I've never seen anything I didn't like. She likes the food. I think the night staff could be increased by one person, she occaisionally has to wait at night for assistance. I liked that it is small and she gets a lot of individual attention, and the seasonal decorations are always nice.

Love this place & would like my father to be here. However, circumstances are changing somewhat. This will definitely stay at the top of the list for future needs

Staff is friendly and helpful. Residents have meal choices. Very good handicap bathrooms which was one reason I chose Cameron Hall for my spouse. Four levels of care offered. My husband is the highest level of care and this was important.Administration very accommodating. Activities offered morning and afternoon. Physical building clean and maintained. The facility is also close to our home.

This is a beautiful community that is very clean and up-to-date. The facilities are light-filled and lovely. They provide three meals per day unlike many other communities that only provide one or two. They have many different apartment lay-outs to choose from.

I have been on the search for over 8 months for an assisted living facility that I thought my mother would like. She is not picky, but as her guardian, poa and executor and nurse-daughter I was picky. Morningside was wonderful. Aside from the beautiful facility, low staff turn-over and competitive pricing, they were quite patient with us as we made our difficult decision. Mother has moved, settled in and is participating in the numerous activities. She needed large print books, in they came via several sources. Everyone from the top down has been super-patient and kind and re-introducing themselves as many times as necessary. And the food has been great--according to the southern cook.

She is perfectly happy. Always has activities going on, playing bingo and things like that. She really likes the food. She is on the first floor in the assisted living. It's great!

I loved it! Am starting process, to enter McKay Manor in next few weeks! I love the people, surroundings, and the apartment!! I am excited, but, it still hard!! It will get better, It is just a change that I didn't expect at this age!! The property is a 10 in my eyes!

The food is good, she hasn't complained about the food. I looked at about eight of the communities, they had the best price, the best unit size, and the staff was great. Jules is the incoming sales person, she was great I couldn't ask for anybody to have treated me or my mother any better than that. She was professional and handled herself real well.

The Forum at the Crossing is a beautiful, well maintained, welcoming facility. The orientation of the building is easily navigated. All the activities and dining hall are easily accessible on the main floor. The welcoming from maintenance, reception, directors, and residents was very encouraging for my mom.

Met with Vicki Meier. This place has it all. Great social, facilities, and apts. Only concern is if ambulation becomes an issue (wheelchair transfers) resident needs to relocate.

really liked the layout of garden home, especially the way the sunroom is big and the door to outside is there. I wish it had wood floors.

So far we are very impressed. The staff has been great, very friendly and helpful, and we have no complaints about the care services. We also really like the feel of the community, it has a homey atmosphere, very warm and friendly. Also the food is very good.

Very upscale with every possible contingency of daily living accounted for. This is the one that if the decision were completely up to me, I would have moved her in already. Just a few more tick marks and we will be closer to making this decision. Major 'thank you' to Cody.

So far so good we are very happy. Very clean. The cleanliness and look of the place really stood out. The food is excellent. Mom has yet to find the right bridge partner. I can't think of anything as of yet that could be improved.

One thing we really liked about this community, and a reason that we selected it, was the smaller size. We wanted something that would feel more personal, and wouldn't be overwhelming for my in-laws to get used to. It's very nice looking, and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is alright, it's good most days but can be hit or miss depending on the dish. I feel like the community could have been a little more helpful with the paperwork, since we were moving my in-laws in from out-of-state, which I'm sure they deal with all the time, but was a lot for us to deal with without help.

After six years in an independent living facility, it became obvious that my 95 1/2 year old mother could no longer care for herself with help. We toured several facilities and were fortunate to run into two friends whose mothers were at Summit. Their personal experiences definitely helped us make the decision. It actually was less expensive to move mom into assisted living than to pay for independent living and Home Instead aides checking on her twice a day. The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and professional. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is that the food is not as good as the independent living facility. I eat there several times a month.

I can't say one single thing bad about the place. The room was big, the room had a view, it was spectacular. It would have been the very best place. Just comparing the facilities, it was the most magnificent place that I saw. Because of medical condition of my friend, however, he was not ideal candidate. It was the same price as Emeritus, but much brighter, much better maintained, and just gorgeous. Food was delicious and the building was so beautifully maintained. Nothing else compared. Beautiful sitting areas, beautiful plants around the facility; I would move in myself.

I am very happy with this community, and my Mom loves it as well, it really is a wonderful place. The staff are uniformly lovely, very positive and always smiling! And they are unobtrusive, the residents feel very independent. My Mom really appreciates having all the people around, she enjoys the social activities and has made numerous friends. There are nice touches, there has been a piano player when I have visited, and fashion shows where the residents can purchase clothing. The grounds themselves are lovely, and the location is great. Also, the food is wonderful, and the staff gets to know what individual residents like.

They have all kinds of things to do, there is what they call a town center with crafts, and people will come and play music, sometimes they will have chili and hot dogs, or exercises. Sometimes different groups of residents will go for ice cream or something. The focus on dementia care was what made us choose them. They don't take physically sick people they focus on dementia. There isn't really anything they could do better. He eats, they all eat, he cleans his plate and they let them eat as much as they want and don't hinder them from eating. The community is not like a nursing home, it has a totally different feel. It feels like an independent retirement community with no odor of people being sick, there aren't a lot of bells ringing or alarms going off. People aren't just sitting in the hallway in their wheelchairs. The people seem content and well taken care of. They make sure he is clean with showers and his incontinence is cared for, they are not left in soiled clothes. They also don't let them sit in their rooms everyday. If they try to stay isolated they will lock the door to their room so the have to socialize and be out and about in the community.
