Morningside Elite Management

The staff of Morningside House of St. Charles really care about the residents. We are grateful for the care our mothers receives. The activities director does a great job with scheduling activities and events, always including family members.

The staff is warm and really cares. From the beginning they wanted us to feel comfortable and welcomed. My mom has daily activities and has made friends. I love how bright and clean the place is and her room is spacious.

Microwaves were removed from each apartment/ suite and there isn't one available in the activity room that was converted to their dining area. I'd expect a bit more for [cost removed] a month. More often than not, it's hard to find someone staff wise on her floor especially since it's now a locked floor meaning a code must be used to get an elevator to exit the floor.

Good location Not too small Not too big Several staff have been here 15-20 years +/- Yes I would recommend.

When it came to the activities, my loved one didn't get the chance to participate. [name removed] and [name removed] very helpful. Med Techs and aides very helpful. My brother was only there a short time but it was a positive experience. My brother died on [date removed] and was buried today ,

My mom felt very comfortable and welcomed from her first day at Morningside House Satyr Hill. The transition was smoother than we ever expected. We are very happy with our decision to move her here.

Caring staff, beautiful facility

I am happy to write a review for Morningside House of St. Charles because it is a warm and friendly community. It is well staffed and efficiently run. The residents were eager to welcome my 95 year old mother when she arrived. They openly tried to make her feel comfortable coming into the facility. The staff is professional but also warm and caring. I am so pleased that I was referred to this facility. I toured six and I chose this one. It is always clean and they don't isolate the residents with Dementia from the other residents. They keep them involved with each other. I would highly recommend Morhingside House of St Charles.

My search for a community for my 89-year-old mom started out frustrating. However, after visiting several communities, I fell in love with Morningside House of Laurel. God was at work here, bringing the right people to help me find a perfect community for my mother. Morningside House of Laurel has excellent leadership, and the staff ensures residents receive the best care and attention. The community reminds me of the famous fairy tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears": not too hot or cold, but just right!

The staff treated my father as if he was one of their own. They went above and beyond for my entire family during the most difficult time of our life. I would highly recommend Morningside to anyone who is looking for the kindest, caring and understanding people. Everyone we came in contact with had a ready hug and shoulder to cry on when needed. We honestly felt like family!

Everybody is very nice. The nurses know the residents well. [name removed] & [name removed]are great. I feel secure knowing they're looking after my parents. [name removed]is nice. [name removed]& [name removed] were very accommodating during move-in. No complaints.

My parents are 92 & 94 in independent living. They have had great care with everything whether it’s cleaning, medical, or just checking on them. The activities are fun for the residents who participate and the food is delicious. When I call from CA they have been extremely helpful. I wish more seniors were interested but with the costs high, it is difficult for most.

Chestnut Ridge was just the place we needed for a two week respite care for my Mom. We were so grateful for the two week respite because most facilities require 30 day stays. Everyone there was friendly, caring and supportive of my mom’s needs. Mom loved the food and enjoyed going to the dining room to eat her delicious meals daily. Someone was always around to make sure she went for her meals. The place was very clean and mom’s room had a nice kitchenette and a beautiful view of the woods. There were also many daily activities to choose from although Mom chose not to participate. I could not say enough good things about this place. From my initial contact to the front desk person, everyone made her stay a very pleasant one. Everyone went above and beyond to make my mom’s stay an enjoyable one! I would definitely recommend Chestnut Ridge.

Overall we have been very pleased about her care and her surroundings. Based on the experience we have had so far with Morningside House of St. Charles, we would recommend this community to other families. Thank you for helping us find a place for her.

Our mom has lived at Morningside House of Towamencin for the past two years. The people who work there are caring and provide excellent care for my mom who is mostly independent but suffers from memory lapses. She is able to go to meals when she wants and has a small kitchen to make breakfast and snacks at night. The medication service is excellent and mom never misses a pill thanks to the terrific attendants who visit her with pills and lovely conversation. There are many activities to do at the facility but our mom is mostly excited to take walks outside the facility. She stays in shape and in the summer gets a nice tan from her walks and her time spent outside. We have nothing but nice things to say about the facility - it is bright and cheerful and clean. Residents can walk to events and are always greeted by workers in the hallways. There is a memory care facility on site as well. I highly recommend Morningside for a parent who needs extra help as they age.

We initially chose Morningside House of Friendship because it was close to my house and my stepfather would be able to easily visit my mom because he lives close by. I love the patience that they show my mom even when she isn't having the best day.

Don’t even know where to start from [name removed]to [name removed] your loved ones will be treated as family always a smiling face and just down right a good place to live,visit, volunteer, or work They are definitely setting the bar for how a memory care community should be ran

We have been in and out of Senior Communities. The experience that we had walking into this beautiful community goes beyond just a simple post. Thank you [names removed] for letting us be part of the family. From the friendly staff to the wonderful amenities it’s a diamond in Lakewood Ranch.I believe anyone thinking of moving a loved one here has made the right choice.

We began our search for the right memory care community for mom two years ago. We had her in two different, extremely highly recommended assisted living communities in the Lakewood Ranch area, that unfortunately couldn't hold up their end of the bargain. (NOTE: When looking for memory care, DO NOT go with an assisted living facility, all of the community resources and focus are NOT on your loved one in memory care, rather, on the majority of the residents who are located in independent or assisted living). Through a mutual friend, we found Morningside House (formerly Poet's Walk). We've been their for four months and I kick myself constantly for not finding this amazing team soon. From the move in process, everything was made easy to understand, there was no rush and we had the opportunity to meet the entire team before we actually moved mom in. Since the first day, this team has kept EVERY SINGLE PROMISE. We feel that we are finally a family again!

The "staff" at Morningside House of St Charles genuinely care for their residents.
