MorningStar of Boise

We enjoyed having lunch during our visit and appreciated the opportunity to see other residents dining as well. It gave us a better sense of the community atmosphere and allowed us to experience the food firsthand, which is an important part of daily life. The meal options seemed appealing, and it was helpful to see how dining is handled. We especially liked that the dining area served both assisted living and senior living residents, creating a more inclusive environment rather than making assisted living residen

MorningStar of Boise

I’d give this place an overall mixed review. Some areas are improving, while others still need attention. The administrative team at the front desk has been consistently excellent—friendly, helpful, and responsive. Unfortunately, the general staff experience hasn’t been as strong, and there’s definitely room for improvement there. Dining has been a challenge over the past year. There have been multiple chef changes, which impacted consistency and quality. Recently, things have started to improve with more stable

Response from the community

We are encouraged by the commendations in this review and your notice of areas of improvement. We acknowledge the turnover in culinary leadership, prompted by the promotion of our Chef to Associate Executive Director. Across so many lines, we’re proud to give evidence in our pursuit of excellence. Earlier this year we rolled out a new onboarding program to strengthen team culture and retention. We revised our move-in process to increase engagement from all departments with residents in their first months of residency. Our 6% rent increase was below industry standards. Executive Director Jill would welcome an opportunity to discuss your concerns and develop next steps to make your stay even more enjoyable.  Reach out!

Positive, supportive environment for my Dad

My dad is doing well at Morningstar. They responded quickly and compassionately recently as I discovered that my dad needed more support. It has made my life calmer that I don't have to worry that Dad can't manage all of his own daily activities.

Response from the community

Good food options, very clean, residents seem happy, and good sized rooms. Didn't know they didn't support memory care.
