Great Place to be Taken Care of
My mom has been in Morningside for a few months now. The transition from living alone to assisted living has been easy. The place is top notch and mom is safe and surrounded by kind people. She enjoys the routines, she is never alone and the great nurses all know her name and greet her warmly. I’ve visited many places in the area and closer to me in Pittsburgh but this place is exceptional. In many ways Morningside has helped mom adjust to the next phase of her life. I’m thrilled to have help keeping her safe.

Overall very good place to be.
The only complaint is sometimes a lack of communication. My dad needs a lot of care and has fallen a lot. Staff seems very friendly and helpful. They are most concerned about the well being of the residents.

Review for Morningside of Sterling
I would recommend Morningside to others. We did not have to go through what we did to try to get her in another nursing home, near where she grew up.Then they wouldn't even take her. Morningside was very good to us and his Mom.

Review for Morningside of Sterling
Morningside was a great place for my Mother-in-law. They knew how to deal with her. Plus it is a very clean and nice home for dementia people. It was a very good experience. They understood what we were going through. So we were able to get her in right away.

Nice place, but relatively expensive
Morningside is a lovely community. The rooms are pleasant and the care staff are attentive. Activities are relatively limited, but scheduled on a regular basis. Limited physical activities, as many residents have limited mobility. Would like to see more engaging physical opportunities.

A Great Place for Mom/Dad
As my dad's oldest son who helped him choose and move into Morningside of Sterling, I was very pleased and impressed with the competitive pricing, the modern look and overall cleanliness of the facility, the resident oriented amenities, the helpful and friendly staff, and the well structured daily activities that are geared to ensure everyone is provided many diverse activities to lead a full normal life. There were several assisted living facilities in the area but this immediately attracted my dad's attention of a possible new home where he would be happy and comfortable. I loved and was very impressed in how the dining facility is operated like a first class restaurant. Residents come in, sit down, order meals, eat, and get up to leave, the dining facility does everything else. I had an opportunity to sit down with my dad and have a lunchtime meal with several residents who were also WWII Veterans like my dad and thought the food to be tasty, appealling, and filling. The well equipped 24/7 Bistro that was always filled with hot/cold drinks, sandwiches, yogurts, jello, fruit cocktail, cookies, fresh fruit, and ice cream for the enjoyment and comfort of its residents. I feel like this is a true Five Star Facility.

Very satisfied!
This is a very good place! Though my mother doesn't love having to live in a place other than home, she is quite satisfied with her stay. My mother doesn't take advantage of participating in activities too often, but there are plenty of opportunities for her to join in. She also gets plenty of opportunities to socialize with residents during meal times. We are all very pleased!

Amazing Community!!
I would highly recommend this place to family and friends. My mother has joined in activities and is very active. Her room is right across from the dinning room and its location is very close to everything in residence. The community gives you a hotel feeling its very clean and up-kept. I really like that if there are any issues the staff will get on them to fix them.

Overall I am pleased with them, they do a good job.
So far so good. I am happy with Morningside, I would give them a five. She complains about the food, but she complains about everything. I haven't tried it but it looks fine, and they provide snacks, and cookies and things. I know that they are doing some work on the meals, so hopefully that should end any complaints she has in that area. Overall I am pleased with them, they do a good job.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Illinois regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois regulations for Assisted Living.
