Nice Staff But Not Impressed by Medical Staff
Staff was very nice. I was not impressed by the medical staff. In the six months my mother was there, there was a lot of turnover. If you or your loved one is self sufficient everything will be fine. If they're at all frail, you might consider a different venue.

Bad experience
Don't send your loved ones here! Outrageously expensive and won't work with you to forgive any fees, even ones that can be overlooked. We spent a fortune there. They are also not transparent. Told us my dad could go to their memory care then did not pick him up on his scheduled day. Never told us. We had to call to find out why. Pick another place!!?

Adrienne, it’s painful to read your assessment. While your recounting of the situation is different from our own, we sincerely apologize. MorningStar’s desire is always to be a place of compassion and care. We hope you and your parents will find a residential setting ideal for your needs.

My review of MorningStar
My loved one lived in this facility and our experience was not good. The place is beautiful and gives a great first impression, but when it comes down to actual care of the residents it's not so great. There was so much miscommunication within the nursing staff and communication with the family could have improved also. The level of care that I ended up paying for was expensive, but I was assured that my loved one would get the care and assistance that she needed. However, she didn't get it. I was really disappointed with this facility. My tour was nice and it seemed like this facility was going to be a good place for my loved one. Things just didn't work out and we ended up moving our loved one to a different place. I have a couple of friends who had loved one's at this facility and also ended up moving them to a different place. From medication mix ups/not being given, to assistance for my loved one to get to and from the dining room (which they assured me several times that they would do and did not), to my loved one having a gouge in her forehead that I only knew about when I visited but was never notified of from the nursing staff....just not a good experience. I would not recommend this facility to family and friends. Again, the residents seemed overall happy, it's a nice atmosphere with a great mountain view, it's clean, the dining room is nice. But the care that is given to residents just isn't great, from our experience anyway.

Thank you for appreciating the beauty of our community. Of course, we know that what families seek (and rightly!) is not found in furnishings and décor but in the sincerity of hearts, eager to serve. Please accept this sincere apology that we fell short in your eyes. Our ambition at MorningStar is nothing less than service excellence delivered with passion of purpose and compassion. We also strive to be clear communicators. With your feedback we will redouble our efforts in all regards.

Make sure you have the emails and phone number to the medical staff and managers. I live far away and doctor appointments need to be coordinated with their driving staff. They only will transport two days a week. Staff is friendly and willing to help. Encourages involvement in activities.

Thank you for the feedback. It is always welcome. We do encourage residents to schedule medical appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays but in the event that is not possible, we will certainly transport them in our van or Lexus depending on availability of drivers.

Incredible staff at MorningStar
We picked this community, for several reasons, one is that it is in close proximity to my brother's house, it is a clean and very friendly facility, and it has a reasonable number of residents...not too big not too small. Overall, we are very pleased with the community, and our parents seem to be adjusting pretty well. I can't speak highly enough about the staff who gives them such good care!

our families experience
We really like that the staff take the residents out to the main area with the other assisted living residents to listen to the live music and even participate in the bingo and arts and crafts if they are able to. However with the constant staff changes and shift changes we feel at times it could be chaotic with trying to keep all the staff on the same page. We do think with the onboarding process they could get all the paperwork together better since it all can be so overwhelming and confusing

I found communication between myself and the upper stuff to be a little slow, there was a gap of time in answers and when things would get done. But other than that, our experience with Morningstar was great and I would recommend to others looking as long as you are able to afford it.

My Tour Experience
I had a virtual tour at MorningStar, but the virtual tours really don't tell you a whole lot. They all look good just walking through with a camera. The people who led the tour were good, and the facility was brand new. I ended up choosing a place where many of the employees had long 10+ year tenures.
