Morningside Elite Management

My aunt liked the community here. She made friends with some of the other residents and out of all the places she had lived, she likes Morningside House of Laurel the best. My aunt said the food was good as well. Compared to the other communities she lived in, we definitely thought it was worth the price.

Very caring environment and nice bright setting.

Facility clean. Loved the tour guide new all the paitients names as well as the staff we encountered. Liked the deluxe studio or one bedroom.

[Name removed] was lovely, very caring & knowledgeable. Sunrise is pleasantly decorated & cozy. Very comfortable! However, it is very small & dad is so physically active, that he would quickly run out of walking space, even with the path around the building. If he was further along with the Altheimer's, this would be a good place for him.

Right in my cousins backyard! Her drawbacks on the facility were: Only 1 set of elevators and only medtecs at night. There was a tornado warning while we were there and we did get to see how the staff responded to an emergency situation by rounding up the tenants and getting them to a safe place away from windows.

Nice size rooms; the 1 bedroom does NOT include a small kitchenette. Friendly staff & nice selection of activities.

I have seen a handful of retirement communities but Morningside House of Friendship stands out in my mind. As I walked in, the large inviting living room to my right was occupied by several residents, some reading the newspaper and others stretching as they followed a video on the enormous TV. I was struck by the coziness of the place, which was large and open. It had the feel of a well-appointed lodge. There was clearly a warmth between [name removed] and her residents whose mutual regard is impressive. The day I toured, the residents were all up and about. Even so, there was a peacefulness about the place I couldn't account for. It had a good "vibe." The common areas are both beautiful and fully utilized by the residents, so the physical structure must be well-kept. The only minus I could find was the smaller size of their 1BR units compared to others I've seen, but I will definitely bring my dad to see this place. If I could, I would give it 4.5 stars.

The facility is impeccable with much attention paid to the different ways in which care may be provided to the elderly. The tour and the explanation of all elements of the facility were both detailed exhaustively. Unfortunately the total monthly cost for the current available studio combined with level of care required is above our max.

Very nice place, clean and well staffed. A bit pricey, but will shop around to other facilities.

Great and caring staff in the Memory Care unit. At times, I wish there was one more aide in the Memory Care unit.

Overall, I liked the community and what they had to offer. Staff seemed very attentive and the residents seemed happy. Common area was pleasant and very active. Currently, they only have one room available and it is VERY small.

Helpful staff. Unfortunately, too expensive for us. Their companion room with shared bathroom is $3400/mo plus personal care will be $4000/mo + up.

This is my top choice so far based on the facility and location.

Caring staff and well maintained facility

The staff seem very nice and interactive with the residents. They are caring, enthusiastic and they want to make the residents happy. The community is clean. The community seems active. I think it is going to be a good change and I am looking forward to moving my loved one into the community.

We had a wonderful tour of this community. This is a beautiful community with kind people. The staff was friendly, and helpful. They were very nice too my family, and I. Our questions were answered, and everything went well. However we did feel the residents were more advanced in their Alzheimer's than my mother. It was a lovely tour, but not the right fit for my mother, and her needs.

My love one is doing well with her move into this community. We do feel she is safe, and in good hands. The experience is going well, and we are pleased with all they have done for our family. This is a very nice community .

Sunrise Senior Living of Blue Bell was a nice community that we toured. It was very warm and inviting. The staff members were friendly and gave a good presentation of what their community had to offer. The residents seemed happy and well-kept. We ended up choosing another community that was a shorter commute so that I could visit mom more often.

My tour of this community was a nice one. Everyone was very kind. The community looked nice, everything was neat, and tidy. The staff I met was helpful, and kind. My questions were answered, and my tour guide was great. I did not have any problems with this community, it was just a bad location for myself.

First I just want to say that I feel comfortable with my mom being here she is happy and content and for now, that is all that matters. The community itself I really like her apartment gives her enough room and it is setup like she is in her own home rather than looking for a nursing home place. The food is of no concern it is excellent could not be better. The location of this property is perfect for me very close to where I live. Now the issue I have is the staffing from the attitudes to getting in contact with them. The management needs to do a much better job at being available and following up with families. There should be a procedure book in place for new admittance residents so whoever is there will know what to do. The staff should be more open and willing to answer questions from the residents in regards to services they offer.
