MorningStar Senior Living

I recently had the opportunity to visit Morning Star Mount Shadows while seeking a Senior care facility. I was totally impressed with the staff, everyone was helpful, caring and friendly. I was especially impressed with the presentation, and quality of the food being served. It had the appearance of a meal from a quality restaurant, not what I expected from a care facility. The residents seemed happy and enjoyed their meal. You should be proud of your facility and the people you have working there!

Exceptionally beautiful facility. Activities and meals seemed to be very comprehensive and of high quality. Flexible in care provided - i.e. while services provided are Assisted living and Memory Care, resident could go in on an "independent living basis" and add care as needed. Nice size facility and laid out logically. Toured with [Name removed] - who was excellent - but [Name removed] followed up directly with me via email.

I love this site. Well designed, nice upgrades, Nice location, and great staff. Friendly and helpful. This center offers wonderful opportunities for their residents. One resident even crafted a pillow that was put on display in one of the lobby areas. I want to live there.

My mother has chosen this facility. Excellent facility! The IL apartment I toured was a great size. It was very roomy and had a full kitchen. Upon arrival I asked for the person I had been confirmed with for the tour. One of the receptionists told the other one, "No, don't call her, call "X", so that was confusing. I also felt neither of the receptionists were very warm or friendly, and neither was the person who gave me the tour. I felt rushed. I did have a confirmed appointment and was on time. I also like it because the price includes only two meals a day, which is what my mother wants, so she would't be paying for a meal she was not eating.

My mom was here for a week for respite care. She loved it here. The staff was wonderful, It was clean she never found anything wrong. She really enjoyed the food. She would play bingo and she won $20 that was here highlight of the week. I would recommend this community.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Mother. I absolutely loved this place and it is nicely put together. The marketing director who gave me the tour was friendly and outgoing. She was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the tour. However, we didn’t pick this community because it is more expensive than other places and they came unfurnished.

I enjoy living at The Regency Park Fair Oaks because it is such a pleasant place one might think they were on a vacation of sorts. Our tasty food is prepared with flair. Activities are imaginative and stimulating, happening both on site and away. Our private baths are tidied up every day with fresh linens because our staff keeps us spotless. The ratio of staff to residents is high so that we get our needs met sooner than other places I have known. This is a friendly, very caring kind of place. Anonymous Resident

Beautiful place. Great location, but on the small side. Getting into will be harder. They have some crazy rules about pets, $1000.00 no refundable plus $60.00 a month...over kill.

I live here currently. When you first walk in, you can see that the ceiling is 3 stories high and it looks like the main entrance to a lodge in the mountains. The facility is beautiful and not very old; it feels more like home and not at all like an institution. The staff is very good with people and they have a good sense of humor. There are a lot of activities for the residents to do throughout the day and they have a chapel with a man that volunteers to do services on Sundays. They also have a bus that takes residents to various churches; you can participate if you want to but it isn’t mandatory. The art and furniture are both first class. You can participate as much as you want in the exercise classes or creative activities and the restaurant style food is good with plenty of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you don’t like the entrees of the day then there are always about 6 other choices available to choose from. I have a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms and 2 walk-in closets and it’s really nice and big. I was able to bring all of my dearest personal items, which was very important to me. They also allow animals like small dogs and cats. I really like it here and would recommend it.

My Mom lives here and she hasn’t had any problems or complaints. The staff interacts with her very well. They stay on top of the cleanliness extremely well. I’ve never seen her room dirty and I go there every day. The food is awesome, it’s almost like eating at a restaurant. My Mom is eating well and there are times when I’m envious that I didn’t get a plate myself. They usually serve the chef’s choice but there seems to be a good variety. I don’t think I’ve seen the same thing being served within the past 2 months. The residents’ beds have alarm sensors in them for added safety and that’s something I really like. If someone falls out of bed or gets up in the middle of the night to wander, the staff is alerted immediately so they check on them. My wife worked in the geriatric healthcare field for about 30 years and even she’s impressed. I have no hesitations in recommending this place.

I am very pleased with this property and my loved one loves it here. It is a smaller location, there are less people living here, and there is a nice mixture of independent living and assisted living. Assisted living of course didn’t need much attention and the facility itself didn’t feel “nursing home” ish. It felt more like a community for older adults. They provide many activities for the residents and my loved one got actively involved right away within the first few weeks. She would be exhausted with the amount of activities that she participated in. Now she settled down and limited herself with doing 1-2 activities a day and of course she has her favorites. She loves the happy hour, chair yoga, and the little bus ride that would take them places. My loved one says that the food is fabulous. [Removed] is absolutely fabulous. He took an immense amount of time with us. He brought up questions that I never thought about asking. He is extremely caring. Before my loved one lived about 200mi away from us and our other family members. So we brought other family member in town and [Removed] took the same about time with them. When my loved one came in [Removed] actually came in on his day off to meet her. Every time I’m there, he takes the time to say hello to me and he pretty much closed the deal with us. We care so much for him and what we saw there. I recommend this location to others.

Certainly a higher and senior facility in Pasadena area. Well managed, well maintained, attention to detail. Good food, exercise classes, movies, 3 libraries, on floor kitchens, art classes. Shuttle service and provide. Very accommodating staff. Excellent choice.

Working at Fair Oaks for how many years with the elderly has been my honor and enjoyed my time with them.

I am happy I chose The Fair Oaks for my dad. This place became his home and he received a lot of love. [Removed] was the best, [Removed] was fantastic!

Love Fair Oaks. Clean, bright, safe and lovingly staffed. [Removed] especially is the best.

My mom has lived here 4 years. The food and activities are excellent. The caregivers are top notch. We love it!

Mother has resided since Nov 2013. The facility is very clean. The menu for meals very healthy and service is great. Med management is very good. Security of facility is great. Quality of life is very good. Attitude of all staff are very positive and supportive.

Great place to live! Good food and lots of things to do. Very nice people – both staff and residents.

This community is in harmony with residents. It is well organized and serves good meals and offers many programs for senior residents. I love to live here.

Great place!
