MorningStar Senior Living

I love the vibe here. The staff are super friendly. It feels like home rather than some places that just look like a gimmicky hotel. The food is fresh. I love that they do events regularly. They brought beers for Oktoberfest. They even did a car show a few months ago.

This is a beautiful facility where a family member resides. The staff here is amazing and we feel very blessed to have such a great place for her to call home. If you’re thinking of making this your family member’s home, or your home, definitely do it!

I have had the opportunity to visit this community many times over the years, and I have to say, it gets better and better! The new Executive Director and her team have brought such a fresh of breath-air! Every time I visit, the staff is warm and inviting, the community is clean, and the overall feel is “homey”. The residents are joyful and there always seems to be something fun going on! I thoroughly enjoy making my visits to MorningStar Jordan.

I had a very pleasant tour, the outside of the building is getting ready for Christmas, so that was nice to see. They had a welcome board outside the door with my name on it, the building overall looked clean and well cared for but most of all the staff was incredibly friendly. There were smiles on every face, and I felt very welcomed. The sales Director [name removed] was very friendly and made me feel like I was the most important person in the room. No rush, no strong arm sales tactics either. I had a few brief moments to meet with [name removed], the executive Director and she was very pleasant and very kind. We’re not sure we’re ready to move Mom into a community quite yet, we’re still in the research mode, but the information they gave us and the warm feelings that we left with really went along way. I would definitely consider this community when the time is right.

I've lived here more than a year. With one exception I have been pleased with the personal here. Most bring smile and good humor to their work.

I am very impressed with the overall experience my father has had at Morningstar. Very happy my father is there.The staff is always very friendly and helpful. My father says the food is excellent and they are always happy to accommodate any special requests. I looked at several other assisted living homes in the area, and Morningstar was head and shoulders above the rest.

They are very friendly and I picked them because of the price. I would recommend to others.

Their staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. It's also a beautiful community. The residents and families are consistently happy. They have been amazing. They take excellent care of my dad.

If there is a dietary problem ( sodium or dairy intolerance) you will have to navigate it yourself- most meals are planned for no dietary problem. Probably that way for most facilities if this type. No dietary accommodations- although the monthly rental fee includes meals - (since PERHAPS 1 meal a day would be a lucky week for me) I must prepare and pay costs of any food I eat. No provision is given to ONLY pay for meals you actually eat - so you must pay for each meal AND in addition purchase your food needs yourself . Seems to me there should be a choice or credit, but there is not. Food is provided and you pay whether or not it is within your physical restrictions. Coming into a place you THINK you have all concerns addressed, but the food at meals and paying whether you eat them or not was NOT something I even thought about.

I'm more than happy to recommend The Legacy House in Avondale. It was a wonderful place for our family member. He passed away there. He loved living here.

We loved Morningstar! The staff is exceptional. We still see them as friends to this day. My dad passed away a year and a half ago and we have been back to visit residents, staff and attend a memorial for a resident my dad and our family really adored. I would recommend Morningstar highly.

My mom loves the food! My mom loves being so involved! The cost is very expensive. But it is nice knowing my mom is safe and cared for.

They are all 5. We have had some problems with the phone and TV but they are aware of them and working on fixing them. MorningStar is a beautiful place and everyone is very nice and friendly. Mom is getting settled and enjoying all of the things available for them. The food is good and bad according to her but she can be kind of picky. Mostly she says it's very good. We think we made a good choice with Morning Star.

My mother in law lived out her remaining life enjoying the time spent at MorningStar. She enjoyed the community lifestyle and friendships that we're formed there. In the last 10 months of her life she had the constant care of those who worked there and Hospice. She enjoyed the workers and loved asking where they were from.

It’s only been 3 months but I have a good feeling about the facility and know my mom is safe now and in good hands. My mom is content despite the memory loss and confusion with her dementia. They have lots of activities for them and the facility is kept up very nice. A family friend had been there in assisted living before she passed 4 years ago, and I always thought that is where I would want my mom if she ever needed assisted living. As it turned out, mom needed secure memory care and they had an opening. I didn’t check out any other facilities in person.

Overall Morningstar of Parker is a good place with a stable staff. The director is hands-on and works to make sure the place runs well. Overall, we are pleased with Morningstar Parker.

I wanted a place to enjoy living. Morning Star has independent living, assisted living and memory care. Just what I was looking for. Residents enjoy their time here. It is a very friendly place. It is a modern enjoyable residence. Just as I was hoping for.

I am the primary caregiver for my sister. We moved my sister into Morningstar Independent Living about 15 months ago and now have made the difficult decision to move her to Assisted Living. As my sister's mobility, speech and cognitive abilities have declined, the Morningstar staff has shown compassion and increasing attention to her needs. They keep in touch with me and call my sister each day to check on her. I am most appreciative of the hand holding that the staff has given me to help assure my sister's transition to Assisted Living isn't too confusing and she's fully supported.

5 on all the categories. The staff is dedicated to their mission of serving with love, kindness, honesty, goodness, and respect...towards all their residents. We would absolutely recommend MorningStar at Mountain Shadows to other families based on the experience we have had!

The facility is well kept, having laundry in her unit is good for my mom. The staff is friendless and personable. The cable TV and internet situation is not good and they keep being told they are changing carriers but don't. No actual card playing groups, other than poker. Other than poker, absolutely no evening activities. No knitting groups and the like. That type of thing.
