Five Star Senior Living

They have remodeled since we were there. The staff is super friendly. The centralized elevator's create long waits at meal time, especially dinner. And, if you wait too long to go to dinner, they may not have the daily specials available any more, so you have to pivot to the daily menu which can get boring. Some residents are having trouble booking rides. I've heard it was recently upgraded with new decor, including rugs in the apartments.

My 95 year old Mom has been at Morningside for 3 weeks and is settling in. Staff is wonderful and she really enjoys the food. There are many options for games and entertainment. I highly recommend Morningside of Charlottesville.

I can’t say enough great things about Brendan Gardens. [name removed], the Executive Director, has gone far beyond any expectation we had to help care for our aging loved one. The care team is attentive, and our mom is socializing, participating in activities, and enjoying herself as she gets settled. They offer multiple forms of additional assistance services, allowing her to remain independent, although she needs additional assistance with some things. We have confidence. She is being taken care of, even though we are out of state.

My dad has been there since [date removed], it has been great. The residence are engaged. Friendly and welcoming. Staff is responsive and genuine. Apartment sizes are very good. My dad has a two bedroom two bath with a galley kitchen and breakfast nook.

The residents there are so friendly and staff attentive and like family. Lots if activities Best place and timing was perfect. We have 4 family members there now and I would no doubt go there when the need arises.

My experience with my mom went very well. Very grateful for the support and knowledge of the process. I will definitely use the program again I’d needed for any other additional care

My mother is really happy here. She was apprehensive about moving into any facility, but she feels at home. She’s happy with the dinners and said the only thing she misses is cooking. It’s comforting having her closer to me and knowing she’s safe.

have had a really good experience with them. so far everything is really good. They are very helpful and extremely professional. They will direct you to whatever you need. Power of attorney, guardianship. I like thus facility because your loved one does not have to go to hospice if that is necessary. There is no uprooting your loved one. They have drs and basically everything you need.

I was pleasantly surprised with how helpful they were without feeling "pushed". They had resources available(real estate agent, movers ..) which I really appreciated. Very polite and listened to what I had to say.

We're really happy with it. I live in San Diego and have never been there. But my sister, who lives nearby and visits my mom, is very happy with the place. My mother says she is too.

Facility is lovely & very clean. Staff are all super nice, and residents are happy! I would recommend to others.

They treat my father like family. Would recommend to others.

[name removed], my MIL, did NOT want to leave her home, but after a short adjustment period she really felt loved and cared for there. It felt like extended family. They brought other residents in to meet her when she wouldn't go to the dining hall or activities. The head nurse, [name removed], brought her an unlimited supply of orange sherbet from the independent living facility next door when that was all that [name removed] would willingly eat. The staff there worked hand in hand with Hospice at the end to keep her comfortable and keep us informed. I would highly recommend Parkwood to anyone. [name removed] didn't participate in the activities but they had lots of them and they always looked fun for the residents. Our only wish is that [name removed] had gone there earlier when she could have been a more active resident

Be mindful that it's like your first apartment... can hear the resident above you drop something in the uncarpeted areas, run their washer, etc. Hallway noise isn't much of a problem and when the elevators are down it's a nuisance. But I really am enjoying it here.

Everyone was very friendly. When she moved in there was a nurse on duty 24-7, that got changed at some point. Everyone was always helpful though. Staff knew all of the residents by name. The restaurant setting made her very happy. There was always something for her to do. The room itself was fine, the level of care fees could have been an issue if she had stayed longer. I think that's all. She truly loved the staff and one came to the hospital that was 40 minutes from the facility to visit mom in the hospital.

Staff is very helpful, polite and knowledgeable . The da pokey is clean and well maintained . The services they offer such as housekeeping and laundry are great values and done professionally.

It was perfect for my father in law. [name removed] did a great job keeping me informed of available options for us. Easy move in with no issues.

The staff has treated my mom with the upmost respect. They are very polite and professional. My mom is happy there and thriving!

Friendly engaging staff, clean environment, less residents, not crowded, quieter, not overstimulating , more personal

Loving friendly environment. New director is wonderful. I would recommend.
