BEWARE - DO NOT PUT YOUR FAMILY MEMBER HERE!
I was not happy with MorningStar. I filed two complaints with HHS against them and would tell other families to not put their family members there. I was extremely dissatisfied with the level of care and the way they handled issuing a 30 day notice.

It upsets us to read your assessment, especially after making a coordinated effort to avoid this outcome and keep all parties safe.  In good faith, using proper communication channels, including that of an ombudsman, we sought resolution. We hope one of the resources offered will provide new avenues for a residential setting better suited to your needs and preferences, All the best!

Excellent find
My loved one is a resident at MorningStar Assisted Living and Memory Care of Boulder. It's been a great experience! We couldn't have asked for a better helper, [name removed] is very very helpful and we love MorningStar. I highly recommend this facility and so does my loved one who is residing here. My only concern is that 3 days after we placed my loved one, they changed ownership- so that is a concern regarding the continued care and cost. We will wait and see!

Happy to Move my Dad into Memory Care
From the minute we toured MorningStar Boulder we knew this was the right fit for my dad. My mom was so scared to move him, and the staff here made all the difference. They understand his needs and really make him feel at home. My mom is happy to visit him and see how well he is doing here.

The promise is not living up to the reality
The promise is not living up to the reality. There is consistent staffing issues. I had greater expectations, considering that my loved one is in memory care. The atmosphere and people are nice but they don't offer the quality of care that I need. They need consistent staff who are more well trained, to provide the level of care that my loved one needs.

Gradually Getting Better
The size of the community is great, and I like that. The staff gets to know the family. It is easy to talk to the staff about questions or concerns; however, it doesn't always result in action. It is a very pleasant place to have a loved one. The care could be improved upon with hygiene assistance and housekeeping of the rooms for the residents. There have been some staff turnover recently, and the community is trying to hire more staff to assist in doing the right things for the residents and the community.

Our experience so far
We chose MorningStar because the location was important to us and we were impressed with the facility after our tour. The 2 bedroom apartments are very roomy and comfortable. The rooms over on the memory care side are a little small, but they want the residents to be out and about and not in their rooms. He complains about the food quite a bit and he is says there is no flavor, so they could use some improvements on that. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

A place that truly cares
MorningStar of Boulder is wonderful. My older sister is happy and she is being well cared for by everyone at MorningStar Boulder. She is treated kindly and with respect, and she feels tended to and cared for while maintaining a sense of independence and dignity. At MorningStar Boulder, it's the people who make the difference. From the front desk, to the customer service and sales people, medical and nursing staff, caregivers, cleaning and maintenance folks, the chef, kitchen, and dining staff -- everyone is fantastic. It is professional care and also feels like family. People truly care about every aspect of what they do to help others, and to my sister, and to me and my family, that makes all the difference.

Run away!
My mother lived at MorningStar for nearly two years. While the honeymoon period was pleasant, as each week and month passed, it became evident that MorningStar's staff does not provide the care and attention elders require — especially for residents with memory impairment. Despite numerous attempts to problem-solve and reason with management at all levels (from low to high), it became clear — the entire MorningStar administration is unfit to manage and comprehend compassion. Bottom line, MorningStar sells real estate, not elder care.

MorningStar is Great
I absolutely love the staff. They are all very kind, and they all come up and tell me how much they love my family member, even though she can be kind of difficult at her age with dementia. When I get to go visit her now that Covid restrictions have eased, I go into her room and she doesn't like to just sit. So we walk around the halls and say hi to lots of people. The staff just let me do that, and they talk to me. It's been a good experience, and I actually really love going to visit her there. They communicate very well. I feel like it's a really good value. I see the staff working so hard. They have a lot to do and their hands full. I just wish there was more one-on-one care and more staff to help out. I think that's just the case for memory care units in general. But MorningStar does such a great job.

Horrible place, do not put your loved one here, executive director lies to families
I would want others to know when looking into Morning Star of Boulder that our loved one was not given a shower for 23 days and I was never notified. She was sent to the hospital with a severe UTI and entered sepsis because of a simple UTI that was noticed too late when I was out of town. She contracted 5 UTI’s in the span of 5 months a year after the hospital incident. The executive director has no integrity and forced families to push their loved ones back to memory care through manipulation, pressure and lies to families (7 families in 6 weeks) in order to fulfill a directive to push assisted living in a more independent direction. This facility changed every single management position, both in memory care and assisted living, 3-4 times in a matter of 2.5 years. Since the building’s very opening, they have exhibited a consistent failure of management and executive/regional directorship. Morning Star puts money into its hotel-like, luxury feel and spacious apartments. They are selling real estate and not care. They use this to impress families, but you would never believe what goes on here beneath the veneer. Over the years we were here, they were frequently understaffed, putting pressure on caregivers who were fired if they spoke up. Good members of middle management struggled to do their job in a responsible fashion, but the current executive director put them under unreasonable pressure and in dubious binds, trying to please corporate. For one year, a good executive director was hired, who did a great job and listened to families and was making the facility better. However she was pushed out by corporate and left because they were focused on sales and business and would not allow her to serve the needs of her particular community. The current executive director cares more about her numbers and career than the residents. I heard multiple horror stories from other families and discovered broken state regulations and know they did not train staff properly. For example, they had illegal hoyers at some point in time. On multiple occasions I discovered only 2-3 staff members on the overnight shift for the entire building of over 100 residents. If your loved one does not encounter health issues or problems, you would never know these things. But when faced with real problems, there is serious incompetency, neglect, and abuse of power. Not just for us, but for many other families I knew there over the years. Due to these issues, after almost 3 years, we decided to leave in the fall of 2019. We found a 100% better community. Look around, talk to other families, do not be fooled by their sales pitches.

Thank you for the candor, but we are struggling to understand the basis of your review. Your statements are in opposition to our resident records, policies and demonstrated service model. We have positioned strong and impassioned servant-leaders across all departments. Over the course of two months, we did move several residents to Reflections in response to their progressing dementia, all of whom are thriving in their secure living environment. State regulations permit us to use Hoyer lifts to help residents age in place. The Department of Health has applauded our layered defenses against COVID and attested to our ample staff ratios. We are sorry that your experience at MorningStar was anything less than satisfying given the sacred trust that is senior care. Please call our Regional VP of Operations, Stacy Shellenberger, to discuss your concerns directly ([removed]).

Morning Star Assisted Living & Memory Care Of Boulder
In general, when you walk in, things are nice and pristine. You see people around the community cleaning and the individual rooms are kept up very well also. The staff take a particular interest in the family members. They have been very accessible when I have questions or concerns and have been happy to assist my uncle with anything he needs. They have even sent me photos of him engaging in activities since I live out of state and cannot always be there. My uncle enjoys many of the activities they provide like bowling and taking trips to the ice cream shop. Morning Star Assisted Living & Memory Care Of Boulder is a very nice place and would not hesitate to recommend them to another family looking for a place for their loved one.

Horrible Food
Sadly, the food at MorningStar Boulder is horrible! My mother has been residing at Morningstar Boulder since May of 2019. Mom truly enjoys living there - she loves her apartment, the activities, and appreciates the attentive and caring staff. All provide 5-stars services. Why the 1-star review? The FOOD IS HAS BECOME HORRIBLE during the past few months. Perhaps this 1-star review will encourage the change MorningStar needs for their reputation, and above all, help the elderly and memory-impaired residents who have fallen victim to loveless food decisions. Of course, I've addressed my concerns (my sister has, too) to [name removed] (ED) and the new-ish Chef [name removed]— at least 5-6 times. While both [name removed] and the chef are attentive, good listeners, and somewhat agreeable, the food quality has not changed at all. The Problems: FIRST: The food quality is well below average. The amount of fried food, overcooked vegetables, and freezer-to-oven menu offerings all lack proper nutrition and thoughtfulness. SECOND: Food is OFTEN (usually) served cold due to poor food delivery management. Food should is supposed to be served HOT to avoid foodborne illness. THIRD: At times, meals are carelessly plated. Examples: a) sandwich served with runny coleslaw on the same plate. In turn, a sandwich drenched in coleslaw juice is what's served. b) Hard-as-hockey-puck steak or chicken. This breaks my heart, as many of the residents have dexterity issues (due to arthritis) — these are the elders who can barely hold a fork and knife. FOURTH: It saddens me to witness the elderly, and memory-impaired residents complain about their meals. Food is supposed to be an enjoyable experience — but not at MorningStar. I've sat through many meals witnessing these weak and defenseless people served crummy food. Honestly, I do not take pleasure in writing this review because the caretakers, activity coordinators, reception, cleaning staff, and nurse staff are all wonderful. Again — all provide 5-stars services. I welcome people with loved-ones who reside at MorningStar to contact me to share their experiences and thoughts.

Karen, we deeply apologize for the shortcomings you describe in our culinary services. But we are so glad to have quickly connected with you. From your recent conversations with both our Executive Director and VP of Culinary Services, we’ve found immediate solutions that speak to the majority of your concerns, including improved delivery systems, plating and garnishing, and changes in leadership within our kitchen. Thank you very much for your patience as we implement these improvements and reinstate your trust in us.

A Place for Mom has scored MorningStar Assisted Living and Memory Care of Boulder 7.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
