Morningside Elite Management

We really a great experience there. Poet's Walker specialized in only Memory Care and that value was huge to us. And what we got in return was far more then what we expected. We felt really safe there because this is what they did and what they did well. And for the first time, in a long , I felt my dad was safe ,cared for, and his needs were understood.. I feel that we couldn't have been in a better place for my dad's last few months of his life. They really contributed to my dad's journey. The nurses and the aids were comforting and peaceful and it just felt like the natural place to be. It was truly a natural experience for our family. I believe God gets you to where you need to be, and I believe God got us the Poet's Walk.

The Landing of Collegeville is a wonderful place. The staff was so caring. It gave me peace of mind that I chose the right place for my sister. I tell everyone about it . All the staff from the person at the front desk to the caregivers was wonderful to work with.

This is a top choice. Started assessment.

I visit a resident at Morningside several times a week and I am impressed with the entire staff and how warm and knowledgeable they are. They make the residents feel comfortable and are always there to help. The atmosphere is homey and welcoming. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to a family member or friend.

Great place and excellent assistance from [name removed] in locating possible financial help. My first choice for my sister.

My father was in Sunrise for 1-1/2 years. The care was excellent. The communication was excellent. At times he could be a handful, but the sunrise employees worked with him to make sure he had everything he needed. At end of life I experienced the staff caring for him in a very kind and loving way.

Morningside House is an excellent assistant living community. The Sales and Marketing Director shared a wonderful experience of how the residents go about their daily lifestyle at the community. There is no need to tour any other facilities. I'm convince this is the new home for my mom...[name removed]

In February 2019, my Daughters and I decided it was time to move my lovely Bride, to a Memory Care Home (MCH). After visiting several MCH’s and talking to people in the area, we decided to move her to Cardinal Village, A Senior Lifestyle Community, Fredericksburg VA., where we felt she would receive the kind of attention and care a Lady with dementia should receive. After eleven (11) months at her new residence they were able to teach her to eat again and is now eating well and was able to gain her weight back. She is also walking much better, and no longer minds taking a shower. There are hourly activities that the residents can participate in. Some of her favorites are: Today’s news of the day, Move it exercise, Stretching to the oldies tunes; Live music, Kick ball, Giving and Receiving, Road trips and lunch outings. She has made good friends and one cannot say enough about the professional and compassionate care she is receiving from the staff. The staff have always been caring and courteous to Me, my Bride, and my Family. [name removed]

Before placing my wife of 54 years in full-time memory care, our family (daughter, son, and I) researched local facilities and visited three of them, three times each. Cardinal Village kept standing out. The difference was their staff is such a positive, cohesive team, lots of comradarie and obvious empathy for their residents. Their directors (managers) are great; they are hands on involved. The care workers deserve praise; day in, day out, I watch them doing their jobs well, with love. I was told by management that they consider success is getting their residents to smile. A kicker in our selecting Cardinal Village was my next door neighbor had placed her husband there. She spoke highly of the place. She said there had been a few hiccups but they had always listened to her concerns and promptly addressed them to her satisfaction. We were sold. My wife has been there almost four weeks. By all accounts she has been thriving from day one. And because she is doing well, I am doing well. In addition to the loving care there, her day is filled with fun activities—mental and physical. It is so much more than we were able to do for her at home. Our family is convinced we made the right choice; we could not be more pleased with Cardinal Village.

Morningside House of Friendship has been a Godsend. From [name removed] in admitting, [name removed] & [name removed] who are jack of all trades and [names removed], the kind, caring nurses. My 79 year old Uncle became a resident 9/2019 and the staff made him feel welcome from day one. He isn't an outgoing sort of person, so they let him become involved in the activities at his own pace. I love the fact that he's driven to and picked up from Dialysis. The entire staff will help you with your needs and if one can't they'll let you know who can. I definitely recommend this place for the excellent care that they provide.

My Mom was very anxious & disappointmented when she first moved in because she wanted to be home instead but was physically unable. The program director & wellness director was SO patient with my Mom as she tried to adapt & very responsive to our questions & concerns.

The cozy atmosphere as you walk in. The residence rooms I viewed were spacious and up to date. [Name removed] was fantastic she took the time to understand what interests my dad haves. A question I was ask was “ what will I gain out of having my dad here “ and my answer was A peace of mind I wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

Everything I was looking for in assisted living, and then some.

My family moved my Mom to Poets Walk 4 months ago from upstate NY. We moved her from a memory care unit after she fell and damaged her hip. Compared to the facility in NY this one deserves 5 stars. The best thing about the care is all the care givers have a manager checking their work. The medical service is better than any I have seen. The activities are very good. They always ask or really encourage patient involvement. They have most medical care, physical therapy right on site.

The staff is wonderful, very caring and friendly and truly love their jobs. They are supportive of each other and often go the extra mile to work a few extra hours or extra shifts if needed. Always willing to help and answer questions. While the assisted living area has many great activities, there needs to be more activities for men in the memory care wing. The food is excellent with a great variety available.

Taking your loved one from their own home and placing them in to any alternative living situation is one of the hardest things in life! Thanks to Poet’s Walk and their incredibly understanding, caring, knowledgeable, and supportive staff, for us this process has successfully ended in tears of joy. From the initial visit, in their private comforting conference room, where they had been frank but caring. They helped us understand the process and answered every question with kindness and respect. To literally holding our hands when overwhelmed, scared, and exhausted and encouraging us often. Every visit from the first, thru several days moving things in for mom, we were repeated greeted by upbeat, engaging staff that always had a simile. Smiles and Hellos not just for us, but each resident the staff encountered. The home is full of LIFE! Over several days we witnessed residents engaged in an array of activities, therapies, conversation, and staff truly encouraging them out of their rooms and into interacting. One of our great fears was that this disease has characteristics in which you worry your loved one will be “kicked - out” or worse avoided. Not here! They understand that these characteristics are part of the disease. Witnessing this lively and consistent interaction, further assures you that they are in the right place. The facility is beautifully decorated and has a very upscale hotel, co-op look. We especially like the Trending Technology feature. I also like that my father is able to participate, share , learn, and connect with other spouses/loved one in groups and meetings. Although Mom will never be in her house again, thanks to all at Poet’s Walk, Fredericksburg…. she is now home

Wonderful, beautiful new memory care facility, very well managed with an amazingly caring staff providing great support for residents. The only facility I've found where both spouses can stay together even if only one qualifies for memory care. After now having my parents here nearly a year, I can't emphasize enough how resident focused the staff are! So many staff members I've spoken with have experienced a relative who lived with Alzheimer's that it's obvious their work here represents a sense of mission for them.....and it truly shows through the sense of joy and caring they show for the residents on a daily basis!

Nice size rooms; the 1 bedroom includes a small kitchenette (fridges have large enough freezers for ice cream). Friendly staff & nice selection of activities.

Employees are very caring.

Love the employees at this facility. They keep the residents busy. They have a lot of patience.
