MorningStar Senior Living

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.

My mother stayed here and she received excellent care from all the staff. she enjoyed being there. The nursing staff was very attentive and would answer when ever she used the call button. I highly recommend Morningstar.

The community is completely brand new with warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is exceptionally clean and smells great with friendly staff greeting you at the entrance and all the way through the community while touring. Highly recommend!

It's a great place... I would recommend it to everyone.

Excellent staff, plenty of activities, gym & group exercise, on site PT, excellent food, very comfortable apartment.

Right now I don't need any additional care as I take care of myself. There is a great variety of meals and quick service. When it comes to the activities that gets a 5+. They offer more than I can do. I love the variety of things to do. I am concerned as the price goes up each year but I guess everything is going up, Moving here was the best move for me! Thanks for your help.

Everyone has been really friendly and their nurse is kind and proactive. Morningstar is a lovely place with some of the best food I have encountered, though dinner ends at 6 pm. It has fewer activities than some of the other places with a little bit of a religious focus. Though all in all we had a wonderful experience and my dad is thriving there.

This is the only facility my mother has been in. That being said I couldn't imagine her being anywhere else. The staff is amazing. They are always helpful...patient....caring...willing to talk to family and answer any questions or just keep you updated. My mother is non verbal so the staff there is a godsend.

Lots of opportunities to get involved, residents are out & about all day vs being in their rooms, and the facilities are clean, updated & have an overall good vibe.
