PositiveMorningstar a home away from home
The staff is very attentive. The apartment is huge and is kept spotless. There are several activities that my brother participates in, and he loves the variety of meals served. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

Its a nice facility. One has to look past the polish though.

PositiveOur families experience
Overall, MorningStar has been a good choice for Mom, but I can see where some improvements need to be made. For example, it would be nice if they provided some evening activities occasionally as that is when my mom gets the loneliest. Also, some of the activities they do seem to be geared more for the staff themselves not necessarily those who live there. For example, they had a whole celebration of Barbie when the movie came out, and my mom was really rather annoyed with it. The staff are always friendly, and tre…
