MorningStar Senior Living

So far everything has been great. They have answered every question with honest answers, very friendly lots of activities for mom and family special outing for mom. Every time I go there they greet you with a good morning and her room a the whole facility is clean. I would recommend morning star to anyone in need. Also the food is very good.

My brother and his wife are living here and they are doing good. He wife loves being in the community. It has been beneficial for them both. His wife loves the activities she enjoys them and has been participating in so many. I would recommend them to my family and friends.

Morningstar was one of the nicest communities that I toured. It was as nice as the facility that I eventually selected, but was more a bit more expensive. I did not see anything extra that they offered that my mother would be interested in using, so we went with another community.

My mother is still adjusting and doing fine at the MorningStar. The place is clean and well maintained. I feel that my mother is getting the best care that they can offer. The only thing I am struggling with right now is the administrative side. I have some things I need help with and they are a bit slow in the process, but that could change. Overall I am pleased and it is a positive environment.

After touring many communities we found this to be the best for us. It was the most homey community we saw. My in-laws wanted a more intimate environment. We like all they do for my in-laws and they are happy with the community, It worked out best for all of our need and they are doing very good.

everyone very helpful in moving to atria. friendly and caring people made a very trying time bearable.

11 years and counting we have had a family member living at Garden Court. The staff is excellent and willing to help fill needs to everyday living. We thank you.

After interviewing thirteen retirement homes in December, we moved into Garden Court on February 1. Garden Court has met all our expectations plus a little more. They do a great job.

Parker Assisted Living by Morningstar was a wonderful facility for my Mom. She had been living in my home until she had a series of falls that required 6 weeks of rehab. She was not able to regain enough ability for me to continue to care for her at home, Parker Assisted Living was the perfect solution for her and our family. The staff is a wonderful collection of people who value our seniors. A Place for Mom was a tremendous help in helping us choose just the right care for my Mom. Donna, the Senior Advisor, helped me "keep my own wings level" as I went through the overwhelming process of finding just the right place for my Mom's care.

I liked them but I did not take my dad to see them because I was afraid he would get lost there. It was a really big place. It's a very active community and the had really good arts and crafts programs there but I didn't think my dad would be able to negotiate the building. That was the only reason I didn't take him there. The place was clean and everyone seemed happy. I couldn't see any reason not to recommend this place.

This was our second choice. It was quite nice. The issue is that is was quite a ways a way from where my mother had been living before. Of the five places we visited we narrowed it down to this and one other. It was newer and had a very open, inviting dining room with lots of windows. It had lots of activities. If the Bonaventure Place had been closer we probably would have opted for this one. Location was the main factor in choosing another place. By far, Bonaventure had the best floor plans of any place we visited. They were very open and spacious.

Overall they are pretty excellent, not in every regard but they are getting there. Overall what they offer and provide like the food, the cleanliness of the community, the staff is friendly, respectful, attentive and courteous to residents and guest. They could improve in activities by offering a wider variety. These communities can always improve in the care giver to resident ratio. From what I have observed they currently have about 2 care givers to about 12-15 residents. This can always improve because then the care givers can understand each of the residents and visitor so they are clearer on each individual needs. My opinion towards Parker Assisted Living memory unit is very favorable and we would recommend it to anyone.

The caregivers are amazing, their ratios are much better than average, and they keep my mom active with many brain activities and physical activity. The best memory care I have seen. The environment is welcoming, and the housekeepers keep the rooms sparkling clean. All staff are very friendly. They have an activities coordinator that is great. They have volunteers that come in and even paint my mom's nails or braid her hair. One important thing that I love is the camera system in each room. The second a resident falls, the camera turns on and records the specifics of a fall so they can see what happened and look at trends of falls etc. all staff in the building are alerted the moment a resident falls and respond immediately. I've never seen this at any other facility. The only issues I have had are with the food and the laundry. My mom has lost many items even though I have labeled them. The food is decent (sometimes not very good) but always cold. I know it's hard to keep food warm when serving to that many people. Very small portions at times.

The facility has been nicely updated and appointed. They communicate generic plans and projects weekly. Staff turnover is not a problem.

The facility and resident’s room was outstanding, including a personal washer/dryer. Resident was wheelchair bound and had to call for all services, which he was reluctant to do. Meal service was excellent but scheduling was up to the resident. Due to the numbers of care providers, there was inconsistency in the quality of service provided.

This is a very nice place to be. There are residents that have been here 10 years and one person, 16 years and still enjoy it. Staff is very accommodating. We residents, say hello to other residents. I'm new here and you get assigned an ambassador to help your find your way and answer questions. A lot of activity with new residents moving in, and makes it difficult to get something taken care of by maintenance, but they keep you informed. Lots of off-site activities to choose from. Restaurants, trips to grocery stores, museums, etc.

Supportive warm and community oriented staff and environment. Better than average food. This has been our experience with assisted living

Mom has been very unhappy with the food as well as many other residents. I have eaten here several times and I agree. Half the time you can't pronounce what you are eating. The residents say can you just fix normal food. Sometimes food is cold or they are out of what you order. The other day I was gearing up when one of the residents asked for another little bowl of peaches as she couldn't eat what they were serving and they said no we have rules. I was shocked! She said I pay [amount removed] to live here couldn't I just have a few more peaches I'm hungry and he said they have rules. The front desk is very sweet but not kept informed as to what's going on. Lots if times activities are canceled and no one knows until they get to activity room. Most if the waiters are kind and housekeeping is awesome.

Each floor has an ambassador which helps new residents. They helped to pull together a bridge group. And was invited to a bible study. Took 2-3 months but very happy now.

I would definitely recommend to others. Overall, we're very happy with Morningstar .The only reason I put 4 for the first response is because the kitchen staff is lacking. But I don't think it's really their fault per se. they're just very short staffed
