MorningStar Senior Living

We chose MorninngStar because of the value for the money, it is a newer modern facility, and the food menu was great. The meals are chef prepared and they get a menu with options to choose from. I gave the administration 3 because the staff is transitioning, they are in the on-borading process so there are some blips going on at the moment due to that turnover. Overall I would recommend them to others who are looking.

Based on my tour, they seemed very warm, and I liked them. But they seemed like a more high-class community with less comfortability, and less my loved one's style.

Our family had an in person tour and the experience was great, it had a very homey feeling to it. However, at the time we were looking the community did not have independent living and we wanted our loved one to move out of assisted living to independent living.

The staff is very nice and very friendly. Communication is good and they let me know if there are any issues. The community is very neat and clean and I would recommend this community if you have the money,

It's a great place. My loved one is happy there and getting good care. The people are friendly and the place is clean. The food is great. They have an executive chef, and she likes most of what they make. She especially likes the shrimp. Now that Covid is easing up, they're offering more activities. They have movies going on , they're playing bingo all the time, and they're trying to have more gatherings. I didn't give all 5's simply because nobody is perfect.

I absolutely love the staff. They are all very kind, and they all come up and tell me how much they love my family member, even though she can be kind of difficult at her age with dementia. When I get to go visit her now that Covid restrictions have eased, I go into her room and she doesn't like to just sit. So we walk around the halls and say hi to lots of people. The staff just let me do that, and they talk to me. It's been a good experience, and I actually really love going to visit her there. They communicate very well. I feel like it's a really good value. I see the staff working so hard. They have a lot to do and their hands full. I just wish there was more one-on-one care and more staff to help out. I think that's just the case for memory care units in general. But MorningStar does such a great job.

We toured the community and the facility was very nice. The tour was good and the staff was very friendly. The only issue we had was the pricing was out of our range and the community was not pet friendly.

The most beautiful community by far. Cabinet trims, countertops, lighting, closets, etc. For Independent living they offer one and two bedrooms, full kitchens, laundry hookups. Way more than my father needs or wanted. No option for a studio. Lots of happy seniors !

I think that the room size for the money from what I've heard about other estates is good. Merrill Gardens is in many high expectation cities, so I assume they're meeting client demand. The staff have been very responsive, both to our loved one and our family. They know what's goin on. The move-in was impeccable. Communications about Covid have been very transparent and regular. I'm grateful my loved one is safe and well, and well cared for. We've experience more dementia-related care than physical, but they've been supportive and kind. They've handled her medications well, as well as transportation to medical appointments. With activities, they've resumed what they can when they can.

From our understanding the food is not the best, however they have made huge improvements on their activities. They is always something going on every single day. They could use improvements on the billing side of communication regarding insurance and medicaid and what happens when your loved one will run out of money.

Morningstar Assisted Living is a nice community. The management team was very nice to deal with. The communication was great between the care staff and myself. The grounds are well kept and good.

The staff seems cordial and happy to help. The community is recently new with. The communication with the staff is good for the most part. The staff seems understaffed at time. I wish there was a transition from assisted living to memory care.

The food is not very good and they don't really focus on our dietary needs. The menu is very predictable and there is not much variety. Communication could be better here also. The value of the community is good and better than other facilities. House cleaning does a good job also.

My mom is so happy there, she has lots of friends and she has a dog. The only thing that needs improvement is the food right now. The living space is great with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an attached garage. I would recommend this facility.

My mom is happy there, it's a convenient location there are a lot of businesses around the community, The community is smaller and I think that's a good thing. I would definitely recommend this community to others.

My mom lived @ Morningstar for 9 months. It was a great place in most respects. [Name removed], the manager of Reflections was excellent in communication and caring for my mom’s needs. [Name removed], the main nurse, was so attentive and caring— loved her! Most caregivers were great- especially [names removed]. Some just looked at it as just a job and didn’t fulfill the mission statement of honoring God. As a CNA, I admire caregivers who go above and beyond and truly care for each resident as very valuable. Thank you to ALL who did that (I may not have remembered your names, as I’m bad at names :D).

So far my needs are met.

I lived in North Boulder. At the present time I am a resident at Morning Star.

We no longer live at Morning Star. The people are nice and the food was good but we had someone move in the floor above us that was very loud all the time.
