My experience with Morningstar
Those on my list were easy to arrange for a visit - Morningstar called me to set up my appointment. I was in independent living when I feel down and broke my knee cap. They immediately shifted me to an assisted living appointment and got me assistance in managing my care.

Morning star appears to be an exceptional well run establishment with many amenities and personnel to make sure everyone is well cared for. The buildings were neatly organized and nicely arranged to be easily accessible to all.

The facility appeared very clean and attractive. Lots of activities, and residents we saw appeared happy. Was impressed with how good [name removed] was with residents, he knew their names, and they responded well to him. Liked the idea of ground floor casitas. This was the first place we visited, and overall, we got a very good impression. The location was further away from our current neighborhood than we hoped to find, but overall, we were impressed with the quality of the residence.

The staff has been very friendly and engaging with the residents to encourage them to participate in the activities. The kitchen staff does their best to accommodate any dietary needs and preferences. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. Facility is small enough for residents to learn their way around but large enough to offer many activities.

I think I would give a 5 rating for each of the categories. Very pleased with the facility. My father is in the facility, he is rather picky about food. He says the food is good and likes the menu. He has participated in some exercise classes and enjoys talking with other people during meals. He has only been there for about 6 weeks now but he is hoping my mother will be joining him soon. The staff has shown him kindness, patience and respect. It was not an easy transition for him.

On the food they seem to complain a lot, but I think that's true of a lot of facilities and a lot of residents they like comfort food and the facilities like to feed them healthy food. Most assisted living costs are very high. But I like Golden Ridge because it's always clean and doesn't smell musty or smell like a excuse me for saying this nursing home.

I would recommend MorningStar at Golden Ridge. We picked them, primarily because of the location, cleanliness of facility and washer/dryer inside each assisted living apartment.

Lack of staff to patients in memory care resulted in my father being found on the floor in his room for an unknown amount of time. They sent my nonverbal father to the hospital in an ambulance with no paperwork and no one to go with. The hospital nearly entered him in as a John Doe because of this. The day he was discharged back to memory care he fell again due to lack of care to assist resulting in another hospital stay. Again no paperwork sent with him. This happened a third time and the staff advised ambulance care that my father's nonverbal condition and right side weakness was sudden and onset so he was nearly unnecessarily airlifted to a specialty hospital under suspicion of a stroke. Thankfully I called the hospital before that happened. When we cleared out his room, it was filthy. Shoes were missing. Clothes were missing or not his despite other men's names written on the clothing tags. My father had been urinating in drawers and other inappropriate places due to his dementia and it was being left there. No one brought this to our attention. They advised they cleaned every day. I would go and clean it when visiting my father. My father's toilet handle was broken for weeks. I had to address this with maintenance 4 times before it was fixed. When we would visit my father would be wearing other people's clothes and his nice clothing was missing. When I asked why no paperwork was sent with him the staff told me that the printer was broken. These facilities are supposed to provide families a peace of mind that their loved ones are being cared for properly. This facility did the opposite. Some of the staff were incredibly nice and caring, it seems as if the issue fell from higher up in management. It was a lot of overpromising and under delivering, and I unfortunately fell for the initial sales pitch. Do your research and look up other reviews and official reports/claims made against this place before committing.

I would not recommend them because the workers are fun but management not so. [name removed] actually escaped from the facility and they had no camera footage showing how she got out.

My father lived in the independent living casita. It was quite expensive when he wasn't taking advantage of the meals (feeding tube) and activities (got too ill to attend). That said, it's a nice place with nice people.

[name removed] has gotten out of the facility once and the police had to find her and bring her back. The caretakers are kind but disappointed in the staff. I have to cut nails and give her a shower. Management has been a disappointment. She has fallen a few times ending up in the emergency room. I would not recommend them to anyone.

We really enjoy living in a Casita with an attached garage. It is very roomy and accommodates wheelchairs and walkers very well.

MorningStar at Golden Ridge is poorly managed, but we have a great casita with an attached garage and the food is mostly good. The employees are stretched thin and over worked, but they mostly get the job done.

Staff very considerate and helpful. Community health staff very good and ready to help when needed to coordinate with emergency transport when needed.. The only real change to consider after speaking with my in-laws, who are residents at the community would be to broaden the dinner menus. Don’t need fancy things like shrimp and scallop linguine more of the basics. Maybe mix a little more pork and beef dishes. The age group was raised on what we call comfort food.

The best thing about the facility itself is the open concept at the entry. It is more like a cruise ship with lots of windows - bright and airy. The dining room is open continuously until 630pm and not closed off like other places. It is a very pleasant environment. The only downside is that, like a lot of places, there is a lot of staff turnover and some care givers are better than others. Overall, however, the atmosphere is very positive and the residents seem to get along together.
