Our family's experience

The staff were very helpful in gathering information and getting us in touch with several different assisted care/memory care facilities. We were impressed by [community removed], but decided to go with Morningstar at Laurelhurst due to its proximity to downtown. My mom is also on the waiting list for their memory care unit. They have a great caregiving team, allowing my mom with dementia to live with my dad who is in hospice care. They made quite a few accommodations so that my mom can live with him.

Response from the community

You have testified to the love that we feel so deeply for our resident-seniors. We are building family for life, and your words of praise endorse that fact.

Review for MorningStar at Laurelhurst

I am VERY pleased with Morning Star! The staff is so incredibly nice and friendly. They make a huge effort to know everyone's names and they greet everyone with such enthusiasm. The facility is beautiful and the food is very good too. The apartments are bright with high ceilings. They have given my mom the best care I could possibly ask. I love it there and am grateful that I found it. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Review for MorningStar at Laurelhurst

It's a roomy, clean apartment. Friendly, patient staff in the memory care. Appetizing food, and a flexible serving schedule to accommodate Mom's longer sleeps.

Beautiful facility, excellent array of services

The facility and resident’s room was outstanding, including a personal washer/dryer. Resident was wheelchair bound and had to call for all services, which he was reluctant to do. Meal service was excellent but scheduling was up to the resident. Due to the numbers of care providers, there was inconsistency in the quality of service provided.
