Five Star Senior Living

Wonderful care. Pleased with daily activities. Medical care is very good. They keep me updated on any problems my uncle may have. Hospice has now helping. Facility is clean. Questions are immediately answered.

Finding A Place For Mom is a difficult decision and choice no matter what. The staff at Morningside were very gracious with their time in showing us the facility and answering our questions. They helped to make the transition from her previous location to Morningside as easy as possible for us and for her. However, changes for someone in mom‘s condition are never easy.

CLEAN!! Didn't smell. Everything is very uplifting. If something happens they call me immediately. They should go and do the tour. I looked at 31 facilities in my area and this one was outstanding.

I would give 5 Star a 5 rating for all categories except quality of care. I would rate that a 3 only because there was always confusion of scheduling assistance for bathing. It seemed that every week, we had to ask for a bath for the patient. We were always told she was on the schedule but wouldn't get a shower. Everyone was friendly, but there but there was schedule confusion. The Executive Director was so fabulous to work with in our particular situation. Our final decision was to place our loved one at [community removed], but they didn't have any availability at the time. The Director had an idea - we could stay at the facility until there was an opening. We couldn't stay permanently at 5 Star because our loved one would need Medicaid assistance in the future. I appreciated the assistance from the Director, it gave us such peace of mind.

I would and have definitely recommended A Place for Mom to everyone I know. They provide lots of activities and entertainment. Pleasant staff. [name removed] was great. Friendly and caring

All 5's! Staff is very friendly and helpful-lots of things to do and food is very good! The residents are friendly and appear to really enjoy their home! Everyone meets you with a smile and goes the extra mile to answer questions you may have. My sister is very happy with staff.

Food is amazing- staff is amazing- and the tenants have been wonderful to my father- unfortunately my mother passed away 2 weeks ago - but she was happier in the last six weeks living at five star than she had been in years

Improvement needed with meals and changes in medication. With those improvements, yes I would recommend the community to other families, but as with any facility always be watchful

I should have mentioned their activities department provides a monthly calendar of activities- my friend consults it and highlights the things she's interested in and checks it daily. My friend moved in a year again and it has met and exceeded our expectations! I know other folks who have lived there for years, starting in independent living and moving to assisted living when needed. I've observed assisted living to be a cheery and friendly place with staff being super compassionate. The dining room staff knows everyone's preferences. I would pick them for myself or other family members and friends.

Very friendly, very attentive and very helpful. That place literally changed his outlook on life. He went from not wanting to be here to enjoying life again.

I visited 4 different places and my senses told me Gateway was comfortable and at ease. Write down all your questions before going to a first time meeting. This helps gets other questions opened up as well.

Pluses of The Forum at the Woodlands are: • Convenience of the location to anyone living in or near The Woodlands • As close to a continuous care facility available in The Woodlands, with Independent Living (IL) cottages, to apartments, to Assisted Living (AL) at two levels of need, AND a memory care option on campus. • Home health care and physical therapy are both on site • A full-service hair salon on campus • Many activities, field trips etc. to choose from • Transportation is available to residents by reservation. • The newly redecorated dining room has continuous quality control. • The property itself is beautiful, and maintenance is ongoing and prompt when called. • Most respected of all is the longevity of many staff members at all levels of management. The current manager has created a strong ATTENTIVE team to help residents and their families belong on this property. • The Forum is like living in a small town, rather than a “facility”.

The price is very good. There's plenty to do to get involved in . They provide transportation to doctors and shopping . The food is outstanding. And all the help seems to know my name. If you have an issue with your room it is taken care of in a reasonable time . Couldn't be more happy with my choice .

The fact that if she needs to move to memory care, she won't have to change facilities! Her room is close to dining room. Mother said she would tell them the food isn't good! Medicine ladies are very nice! Mother says dining room floor needs to be mopped!

My Mom would love to have some fun entertainment activities like sing-a-longs, lively music, or tambourine sing/ dance-a-longs. Something a little more up beat and fun! Faster and better service in the dinning room. Location, my mom was still able to go to her med clinic for activities that she enjoyed and friends that she was close to. We also felt that it was a good size. Some places we thought were way too big.

I can’t be with my dad 24/7. Who can? But at a place like Barrington Terrace, there’s people everywhere! It’s intimate. I could speak about my father to any team member, and everybody knows exactly what, why and who I’m talking about! I love that everyone is on a first name basis. This is a safe place! I sleep at night again. I don’t have to worry. Thank you. Barington Terrace!

I believe that Morningside in the West End does a VERY good job caring for all of their Residents. I believe that their job is VERY stressful and overwhelming and I commend them for what they do. More volunteers and family involvement could assist the Residents with feeling comfortable and loved. They not only care for my LOVED one but also 86+ more Residents, they certainly have their hands full.

Experience depends on personal choices and level of involvement. Redecorating just completed: paint, artwork, new furniture. A sense of community! As a resident in Independent Living, I have not used any in-house care, but there are available: therapy, exercise classes, personal safety, transportation, and medical monitoring if needed. Always responsive. Restaurant quality. Many choices: clubs, lectures, in-house library, card games, and musical entertainment available. Expensive, but good value.

So kind and friendly. Seeing the staff interact with the residents was the reason we chose the Forum. The other places we toured had newer, larger spaces but the staff were so interactive and kind. And we did a surprise visit, so we knew it was genuine.

The facility is lovely and the staff have been great to work with and yes, we would recommend Granite Gate Senior Living to other families.
