MorningStar Senior Living

My parents haven't been involved in community activities and have rarely dined in the dining room due to my dad's failing health. Other than staff, my parents haven't interacted with other residents. I think their experience would be better if they would have moved in prior to my dad's illness. The staff works really hard to meet my dad's challenging healthcare needs. We chose morning star because they allowed my parents to live together even though my dad is assigned to assisted living and is on hospice. Morning Star also allows residents to stay through end of life. We also chose Morning star because of all they offered, though my parents haven't been able to take advantage. Lastly we chose Morning Star because of its close proximity to my dad's medical providers.

The meals are very good quality and I like that the café is open all day rather than specific hours. They also get to know the residents very well. Like a lot of places, I think they are sometimes understaffed, but overall they are fairly responsive. However, I would encourage all family members to stay very aware of the promised services and make sure they are being delivered. Sometimes they do not get to my mom's needs on a scheduled day.

Nice place. My mom liked it when we were shopping around. Makes them feel like they are at a resort rather than a care facility. I would recommend to others.

Staff is very attentive and good at what they do. The room is clean most of the time good the laundries done as well as were requested and paid for. The food is I call it "bow in a bag" but it's all prep 90% of it is premade full of salt. I am moving to [facility name removed].

Our mom has been at the MorningStar on Kipling Pkwy in Littleton since 2019. The facility is kept up well and staff does a nice job of decorating for holidays with a variety of activities for the residents. Medical care has been pretty good overall. The biggest issue in the past year or so has been the food -while some meals are fine, many others are skimpy, overcooked, tough and not as balanced nutritionally as they should be. Meal service is also quite slow at times. Good quality meals supervised by a knowledgeable chef and assistants needs to be a top priority as meals are often the highlight of residents’ day. It hurts the quality of an otherwise nice assisted living facility.

The Truewood by Merrill, Henderson facility is modern, spacious and clean, with a wide array of activities offered. Where they can improve is quality of care and communication/coverage after hours for issues or questions that might arise. Perhaps they are short-staffed.

Excellent physical qualities - large apartments, beautiful surroundings, staff friendly and excellent. But too new to have interesting activities

excellent care

My loved one is currently a resident at MorningStar Senior Living of Sparks and overall things have been very good for her at this facility. As with most of the caregiver facilities, there is a need for more employees. The employees that they do have are good. The cleanliness is great. The friendliness, staff, care services and food are good. The activities are okay. Overall, I would recommend MorningStar Senior Living of Sparks to others.

Closer to family, newer facility, straightforward Floorplan, easy to understand charges.Nice place, good food, good value. Needs better communication between residents and staff,

The dining room reminds me of the time in high school, the cafeteria. The food was made by nuns--homemade and al from scratch. The food reminds me of that delicious food. Now I get more of selection, but delicious.

It is a nice community and Morningstar has been completely renovated. The food could use improvement along with the service staff in dining room.

The staff seemed attentive. The environment was clean and welcoming. The price was affordable for a good range of services

What we like the most about the MorningStar Assisted Living community is the cleanliness of the community as well as the friendliness of the staff. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would maybe recommend them to other families. My wife and daughter at different times found their mother/grandmother on the floor in her apartment. Although staff was very friendly and I believe, competent, it seemed staffing levels at time may have been below what was necessary.

My loved one was previously a resident of MorningStar Senior Living of Parker and this facility was great. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The staff and quality of care were also great. Everything was five star at this facility. I would recommend MorningStar Senior Living of Parker to family and friends.

Main considerations for our family was the price and the location. Tenants doors are open when they are home. Others and staff peak in often to say hi. They feel safe around staff. The staff seems to mingle with tenants letting them know who they are and that they are there for them. I like that all are friendly and helpful.

It is a nice place everyone is very friendly. We have had some issues with housekeeping but overall a nice place. It seemed like it had more energy and alive people are always going in and out and hanging out in the public areas.

Sadly, mom passed away under Hospice care at the facility after just 3 months of residing at Morningstar with complications from Alzheimer's. The admin and staff were amazing. We had numerous concerns with the outside medical provider that they used, but I believe they contract with someone else now. I would recommend the MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek. It's a beautiful facility set up specifically for memory care.

The physical surroundings are very nice at MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena. The staff is very good. But at times, they're short staffed, so some housekeeping may be delayed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My mom had two medical incidents which they caught quickly and called emergency services. They contacted me right away. When my mom moved in a year ago she was one of only a few ethic Chinese residents. Since then, that population has more than doubled. My mom is an English/Chinese speaker and can speak her native language with a couple of others. The food is good, but no Chinese food. The move-in was very smooth. I definitely recommend this facility to others.

Leadership seems to genuinely care. Facility is pleasant. Some areas still seem to be catching up from pandemic staffing issues but are on the right trajectory.
