I was very grateful for how efficiently we were able to get my mom settled on short notice. The staff has been great. Staff communicated could improve a bit. I do think communication could improve. I usually have to find the nurse etc to find out how things are going. Recently my mom fell again so back to hospital and rehab. We haven't gone back to morning star yet, but now I believe her care will need to be elevated, so we will see how that goes.

Feels Like Home

This place is amazing! My loved one LOVES their new apartment there and raves about the food. Everyone there including staff, residents, and visitors. Have recommended it several times already. Honestly from what I have seen they are doing it all really well. They have lots of activities that they publish to residents and have posted on several spots. The food is another. It is served in a dining area that is operated like a restaurant with nice linens and is ordered from a menu. Nothing is institutional many other places have.

If you are looking for a well managed facility, this is it

So far things are going well and I am seeing some improvements with my dad. The staff and the residents are all very friendly. Every time I visit they have something going on activities wise. My dad does like the food that is served. I would most definitely recommend MorningStar Senior Living at Golden Ridge to other families. It is a very well - managed facility.

MorningStar's caretakers are the best!

I've already expressed with others how great MorningStar Senior Living at Golden Ridge is! I love their caretakers, they make you feel like you're part of a family. They talk to their patients like they're part of that family too. I would describe their communication as average. It'd be nice if they mailed me the bill earlier in the month, right now I receive it two days before it's due. I realize most of the residents families live in Arizona and I don't. As far as the office staff, I wish they were more responsive and quicker to respond. I've left messages and had to call back the next day because I hadn't heard anything. As for the staff who takes care of them, they're great.

Morning Star was in my top 5, but when it got down to the dollars and cents a lot of undiscussed amenities made their way into the total rent. Too expensive.

Our family had an in person tour and the tour lady [name removed] was just awesome and so lovely to speak with. However the community is quite large and spread out that our loved one had to take breaks during the tour so we just didn't think it would work out because of the size. This would of been our first choice, it was a great tour experience

I love that I have my own garage and washer and dryer, that is a huge plus. I do understand the struggles with the staffing shortages so it is not entirely their fault, but they could work to improve on the quality of the meals and the repetitiveness.

Don't Put Your Loved One Here Or In Any Morning Star Facility

They don't care. They are not in the business of caring. All they want is your $6500/month. They know that after all the emotional heart ache and all that you have gone through to find a care facility, you will most likely not go through the pain of moving your loved one out once they are there. [name removed], Regional VP of Sales is no better than a used car salesman. Director of Community Relations, [name removed] is a complete idiot who has no advanced formal education nor degree in adult aging. I received emails from her with no subject line or text in the message box after I made a complaint about her. I believe this was her way of attempting to intimidate and/or harass me. I made a complaint to the Corporate office, which is is no easy matter to contact them directly. It has been 2 years and I have still not heard back from them. They don't care because they are not in the business of caring.

My review of Morning star

I would advise to check out a few more places for your loved one to find a community. The staff that are here some of them are excellent and some of them are not so good. They have very few specific activities for memory care and majority of the activities are for assisted living unit. Every now and they they will include the memory care unity but not often.

A must see place

We went with Morningstar because of the friendliness of the staff, the overall value, and it is just an outstanding place. The food is amazing, you get a full menu that has a lot of variety and they are chef prepared. I am picky and I thought it was restaurant quality food. I think it is a top notch facility and I would have no problem living there myself. It has a very warm, friendly, and inviting feel to it right when you walk in.

Oversold

The biggest thing to me is the staffing ratio of caregivers to residents. They're short on staff most of the time. I know they have resident vacancies, but they still need more appropriate staffing levels to care for the residents who are there. Also, they don't have a nurse there working every day, only five days a week, which concerns me a little bit.

Thank you for commending us in many ways. And we appreciate your candor about staffing. We are all feeling the frustrations and out-workings of the pandemic, including its continuing impact on the labor force. Nonetheless, MorningStar meets and often exceeds the staffing metrics set by our occupancy and level of care. Our nurses do work hard in service to our seniors, especially to accommodate the vacation of others, but our care coordinators are there to balance clinical leadership. We are excited to welcome new team members in housekeeping, dining, administration and community relations over the coming weeks.

Pleased with our experience

We chose Morningstear because of the cleanliness, friendliness of staff members, and the level of care that they were able to provide. We looked at 8 or 9 places and it was actually not the most expensive yet we feel we got the best bang for the buck. My mother was here about 6 weeks and the 2 ladies that took care of her got very close to her and really cared for her. I would recommend to others looking.

Assisted living review

We moved my mother into this facility thinking it was a great place. The sales person assured us that there would be wonderful activities and amenities but they do nothing activity wise for the residents. There was also an issue for me as I cannot wear a mask but was also assured that it was not a problem. That lasted one week and by the second week the sales person and receptionist tried to cover up that I was being let in mask free to the ED in charge who micro manages everyone and everything, and then I was forced to wear one. Since I can't wear one now I can't get in to see my mother. My mother is very unhappy there and can't wait to leave after only two weeks. We are moving her somewhere else. I would not recommend anyone to put their loved one in there.

Sheylyn, we deeply regret reading this assessment as it is the antithesis of our stated mission and impassioned calling to serve seniors. We have worked hard to meet your mother’s expectations and those of you and your brother. The mask mandate, so long in effect in Arizona, was difficult for all of us, our seniors most of all. And despite the many restrictions put upon us by the pandemic, life enrichment included, we are proud of the creative ways our team found to regularly engage, entertain and even safely socialize residents. We wish you and your family only the very best.
