Morningside Elite Management

Both my mother and I were immediately comfortable with Sunrise of Blue Bell upon our first visit there. It is roomy enough for residents to be able to walk around and have different activities, yet small enough that it feels very homey. I ate supper there one evening and was so impressed that the staff addressed every single resident by name as they served them their meal. My mom made friends almost immediately and keeps herself involved in the life of the community by participating in the scheduled activities. She's free to do as much, or as little, as she desires, so it preserves her sense of independence. I am grateful that we found this lovely community.

Nice setting. Friendly and competent staff. Some staff members difficult to understand due to heavy accent.

Facility looked and smelled clean. Studio rooms were on the small side. Common areas were well kept and staff was friendly. Room price range was a little high for the size of the room.

This facility seems comfortable for those who need the extra care and attention. The lobby and ground floor areas were busy with residents watching TV and socializing. There was no unpleasant odor on the ground level, however when we exited the elevator to see a room, the smell was immediate and bad-the typical collection of unpleasant odors found in most nursing homes. I know Mom and Dad would not like this place because it is so much like a nursing home. Everyone I met was very nice and friendly and the facility appeared to be clean. They provide extensive services based on the residents' needs.

This could be an option possibly sooner rather than later. For my mother, certainly proximity to home was good, Blue Bell is where her home is and we're not too far from there. Proximity is good, it's a nice facility, it shows well anyway. The director there was very helpful and I've been in contact with Amanda and she's been very helpful and she stays in contact, she's been great. We were able to get my mother in on an impromptu tour. I think it's relatively new and one of the keys was their ability to accept pets.

They have 24 hour nursing, when you bring medication it's scanned in and when they pull it out to administer it they scan it again so they know when and what they gave. They were very upfront and said they don't remind you about refills and when they had 5 days left they would fill it through them but at least they were upfront with us. At least at this pint it seems that they have very good procedures and someone comes through their company to check in instead fo waiting for the state to check in. They've been very specific and upfront, they have more adult activities that appear to be much more age appropriate. I'm sure there will be things that will come up but as long as their minor and nothing serious it will be fine

Origianlly it was planned that my mom was going to have a double room which was going to be cheaper but when I got her there they didn't have that room anymore and she had to go in a room by herself so it was more expensive. The marketing director was very, very friendly. Everybody there seemed to be very nice. There was a little bit of confusion with the medication. I was gone for 5 weeks so I gave them a 2 month's supply of everything. After 3 weeks I get a call saying their out. It turns out they had it so that was fine but when I got home I recieved a bill from omnicare for prescriptions. I called the head nurse and left 8 messages and never heard back. I finally called the director a few days ago and I'm still waiting to hear back from him.

Very Helpful Staff, apartments are being updated- Nice dining area and common areas- extra Care giver cost depending on level of care- No on site 'Nursing Care'

Lovely. 1 shared bath and 1 private.

Saw the Sunrise on rt. 202 and loved it. Great posibility

Nice rooms/facility. Good rehab room. Does not use universal staffing. Rather low resident to caregiver ratio.

I really like the close proximity to Target (almost across the street). I liked the walking paths that were on the property.

We were very impressed

Nice facility. Staff was friendly. The dementia unit is located on two separate floors. The second floor does not offer an outdoor space. However the first floor does. Facility not as bright and cheerful as some of the others.

Would only use this as a back-up to Sunrise of Westtown if we would need care for Dad in 2011 and Westtown does not have space.

Very nice place. Has 2 dementia wings, 1 for mid stage and 1 for late stage. Cost is high but they accept medicaide waiver.

Nice, has a one time fee which mom doesn't like.

The facility was very nice and staff were wonderful people. I just wish they were a little more honest about how little care someone in his situation (highest level of care) would receive. I found out after putting there that I would have needed to hire extra care to come in to take him to do things as he wasn't really capable on his own. For some people with much lower care needs it would likely be fine. Food was really good.

Morningside House was significantly cheaper among the options that we looked into. They gave me confidence that they would be able to take care of her. The administrative staff are very responsive if we have any questions or concerns. I am impressed with the care, but less so with them keeping me in the loop on medical side of things. Overall I would recommend to others looking.
