Review for MorningStar at Observatory Park

Wonderful Community

My 92 year old mom is very happy at MorningStar Observatory Park. She says it’s like living in a luxury hotel. The building is beautiful inside and out. The amenities are top-notch. The staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. The special events are great (especially the beautiful Mother’s Day Tea and the super fun Casino Night). The food is excellent. There are many activities for my mom to participate in that keep her engaged and give her a sense of purpose. Most importantly, my mom is safe, well cared for, and

Beautiful facility, great caregivers, poor follow through

The location is great in a lovely neighborhood. Beautiful inside. Executive Director is responsive to feedback and concerns however his leadership team is inconsistent. Food in the dining room is average and service is very slow. Community relations started off great but transparency around cost and care planning has not been so far. The care staff and the concierge staff are all very friendly and responsive. Everyone sends to care very much about the residents however getting clear information from mangrove is
