Parkside Management Services

It’s a pretty nice place. Very clean and the residents looked happy. I noticed some activities going on for the residents that looked fun. There is a nice resident dog as well. The food looked good during the lunch meal service. I was able to join. Friendly staff as well!

I have grown to know the Northport Highlands through my husband's year-long stay there. While I rarely provide reviews anywhere, it's important to share my input, as what I have experienced, what my husband continues to experience, and what I see almost daily, is worthy of sharing to those who may be seeking a caring living environment for a loved one. The Highlands is clean, friendly, diverse in population and staff, attentive to individual needs of residents, and offers a wide variety of activities to keep residents involved. As a facility, it has the ONLY indoor swim pool in Leelanau county, which is open to residents and resident families. Two exercise areas have just about any machines/equipment one needs. Ice cream socials, coffee and donuts, happy hour . . . and music happens with weekly singalongs, piano concerts, and outside musicians visiting. The staff is local - key to consistency and presence. Pets are welcome. Apartments are large with plenty of storage space.

My mother [name removed] has been a resident there this past year. The staff were without exception truly loving to her. She liked the meals and activities that they provided her. I often ate meals with her in the dinning room. This gave me many opportunities to see how kind the staff was to my mother and all of the other residents. I have and will continue to highly recomend the Highlands to everyone I meet. David M. Warm

Morning Star provides a safe, caring environment that includes all of the comforts of home combined with the care that she needs being in her [age removed]! There are always activities that she can participate in as well as field trips and transportation to her appointments. The social activities keep her active and provide her an avenue to interact with individuals. Being able to give her input on food service, activities, etc. gives her a sense of being involved in her "home".

My parents moved into Morning Star Village in 2018. 3 months later my dad passed away unexpectedly but my mom decided to stay, even though she was independent, because she had made new friends & loved being able to socialize & do activities! 4 years later she is still at Morning Star & thriving! She loves the food, the activities & the staff are amazing! Our family couldn't be happier with Morning Star Village!

Wonderful, caring, nurses, cna, and kitchen staff. Delicious food many choices, the people who have been rehabbing me are knowledgeable and caring. The one who cleans is very good and honest.

I was met at the door by a smiling staff member eager to know what I was looking for by way of accommodations and why I thought this facility might meet my needs

The only complaint is staff not wearing masks, when they should and staff kissing on cheeks.

very clean, friendly place. Make you feel at home. Fun activities

Very clean and friendly environment. Lots of fun activities. We order our full meals from a menu, this way we get what we want and how much we want. The make you feel at home here.

I came to MorningStar Village after I fell at home and was very weak; having difficulty eating because loss of appetite. I was determined to get better and gain strength. With the compassionate, caring care and assistance that I received from their staff, I recovered. I have made my wonderful lasting friendships with many residents and staff. The food is great. Everyone is so friendly and kind.

I feel very much at home here. The staff are all very kind and efficient. They do their jobs as if they enjoy everything that they do. This is a good home for me!

When my husband was in need of 24/7 care, we decided MSV was the PLACE! Advising [name removed] of our decisions, he commented "I always knew we would go there". MSV was our answer.

It is a small close network. My loved one loves it, and feels they are at home. The communication with the staff is amazing. It is personalized, and call you on everything about your loved one. The community was strict with their rules during the pandemic. You now have to show your vaccine card and can't come in for 10 days afterwards, and you must set an appointment to see your loved. The community only had a low percentage cases of COVID the entire time of the pandemic.

We had my Mother at another assisted living complex and it was horrible. The facility was brand new and state of the art, but the staff had no experience and the turnover was constant. We went about interviewing over 11 other facilities and knew what questions to ask. Arborview was hand down the winner. [name removed] has been there for years and had all the perfect answers....this comforted me. They have a great staff with a great track record of employment and the Head Nurse [name removed] was amazing! My mother was a mess with her medications and her mental well being when Arborview accepted her. [name removed] immediately took the wheel and my mother was reborn. The meals are great, and the facility is beautiful inside. The staff is spectacular! This facility is everything assisted living should be, I cannot say enough about this place. [name removed] is a caretaker that relentlessly spent time with my mother until her last moments. What an exemplary place! What a perfect experience.

I was so impressed with Morning Star Village. My mom was there for 10 months. She had a wonderful experience. They are a very caring staff. Morning Star is locally owned. It was very neat and clean. They find out about each resident's personality and they place them with others that have similar interests. My mom was very happy there.

I really like this place a lot it's not too big and not too small just the right size for mom. There are only 14 people in the memory care section. Mom is participating in activities and she is able to go out with my brother who doesn't live too far on a drive or for a day trip. She is liking the food very much and she loves the staff there. They have been very kind and caring to her.

Both my parents have moved into Northport Highlands. My mother needed it more so than my father, but it comforted my family and I knowing that this is the place that is taking care of them. They have such a friendly staff, the place is always clean and it seems like there is always something for the residents to do. I don’t have to worry about my parents getting to any doctor appointments as they are always taken care of. Northport Highlands is very transparent and communicates exceptionally well when it comes to the status of my parents. I have toured 4 places with my parents before they chose this one. They love it and I’m glad they’re happy.

I can't say enough about the staff. They were always so caring, supportive and helpful to mom. Mom was getting acclimated with the community. They respected there residents and had good food and a clean community.

We were very, very pleased with this community! It met all of our needs at the time we were using them. All the staff couldn't be more wonderful and when working with all of them they were amazing. Barb was just amazing and was great support til the end! I can't say enough good things about this place, our experience was over and beyond great!
