Overall a nice community

Staff was very accommodating when you brought up issues. They were very supportive through in home hospice care. They had great afternoon music and happy hours. Crafts were hit or miss due to transition in staff. Leadership knew and cared about the residents. This place was the most reasonable for someone near end of life who needed more assistance but not skilled care.

Review for MorningStar at Jordan Creek

The staff has been so caring. Everyone, from the director to the housekeeping staff are consistently kind and friendly with each resident. They recently hired a new activity director, so I'm hoping that part of the program improves. The only area that could still use attention is the food. It's okay but could be better.

MorningStar of Jordan

I think MorningStar at Jordan Creek is a very friendly facility. As far as the food goes, I think they could improve on the eye appeal, the taste, and make sure to serve meals hot.

Morningstar at Jordan Creek

The main reason I moved my mom was MorningStar doesn't accept Title 19 if it should become necessary. I feel she will be financially okay for the next few years but no one knows how long she has -so I didn't want to wait till it was a necessity that she had to move. As far as the food - I know everyone was told they could ordered anything they wanted, but I had lunch several times with mom and what I seen was everyone getting the daily special, not a lot of seasoning or taste to the meals.

Our Experience

It was an amazing facility. I don't think I can really say anything bad about it, except for they need to have better communication with the aides. I don't feel like some of them were properly trained on basic CNA skills. We had to put a camera in my loved one's room to keep an eye on her and to make sure that the aides did their job. The nurses and the rest of the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Review for MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Jordan Creek

It was closest to my sisters house in West, Moines, and a brother only lived a mile from it. They told me I had watched mom or taken care of mom for eight years. It was their turn and so they wanted to place close to them. My sister had a friend who had somebody at MoringStar and [name removed] visited there and a couple of others and liked MoringStar the best.

Always happy

This gal is always helpful and always wears a smile. Once you meet her and become acquainted, she is family. She is always there with a helping hand and is loved by all who knows her.

Out in the gardens every day

We have an older man here who carried a cane - he does not need it. He wipes it around "unnecessarily." Someone is going to get hurt!

Tour experience

We were greeted immediately and our tour was informative and helpful. The facility itself is absolutely GORGEOUs, but VERY expensive and out of our price range. Unfortunately we were unable to afford them.

Yes overall I think they do a great job, everyone on staff calls mom and all resident by name, very clean and all seem very caring. Of course as a payee I think the cost is high, but I'm sure they're in a reasonable range with other facilities. In August right before mom became a resident there was a price increase. Then they had a promotion of [amount removed] for 4 months which was terrific. As of January there was another price increase so I do have concern on how often and how much they will do rate increases.

I moved both of my parents in July and my mom passed away in August, only four weeks later. My dad loves it there and he has done so well considering my mom passed away. Everyone is so friendly and I know he is being taken care of. He looks better than he has in years. The food leaves a lot to be desired. I have eaten there on occasion. The last time I ate there a couple of weeks ago, we had crispy fried chicken. I don't think there was any meat on the thigh or wing.

I really like the dining room and the way the meals are presented. Residents have more of a restaurant experience. The apartments and finishes are exceptional. The staff overall is also exceptional.

Beautiful, Engaging Community

I think this has been good community. It is new and clean. They have nice open spaces, such as a courtyard. They have engaging activities for the residents to use, and enough space for the residents to spread out and do their own thing.

Peace Of Mind

My mother moved into MorningStar Assisted Living 3 1/2 months ago. She stated she is very happy here and "You couldn't find a better place". The staff is compassionate. Needs are quickly addressed by management. It's obvious they care. I should add that the facility is beautiful, the meals are great and she enjoys the many activities. Although my brother and I are still very involved in her life, the family rests better knowing mom has the help she needs.

exceptional care

We have recently moved my parents from a long term care facility to Morningstar. The staff and care is exceptional . They have my dad walking after over a year in a wheelchair due to neglect from the long term facility. The facility is beautiful food is great but most of all the staff cares!!We are so happy to have made the move to Morningstar.

Tour of MorningStar

We toured MorningStar and really liked the facility. It just seemed too big, fancy, and expensive for what we were looking for.
