Overall wonderful place
The food servers were wonderful and paid close attention to what Mom could chew and what she loved to eat. The activities were wonderful, I just wish Mom had been able to enjoy more of them. There were wonderful caregivers and then some not so wonderful, pretty much like any other assisted living. The wonderful ones way out weighed the not so wonderful ones.

5 on all the categories. The staff is dedicated to their mission of serving with love, kindness, honesty, goodness, and respect...towards all their residents. We would absolutely recommend MorningStar at Mountain Shadows to other families based on the experience we have had!

All the staff are excellent. They treat all the residents like their own family. They watch over us like a mom & dad would if you need a friend to talk to. They are there. We have a cairn terrier who lives with us. When I walk her she is talked to and patted. We love it here!!!

The staff is always friendly. I know it's hard to care for the elderly and specially if they have issues one way or another and they do a good job here. If you have concerns you can talk to them and they are willing to work on what ever needs to be done.

It is a smaller facility, which my Dad likes. He knows everyone there. The food is not the greatest and he complains about it. The staff is always very nice and friendly. We have had a few problems with the Caregivers. There's been a couple that were not very nice, but once talked to have been better. Housekeeping is great. It is always clean. Communication with the family is fine, but could be better. The move in process was so nice. They came and picked up my Dad's things and moved them in for us. This was included in the cost. It was a very stressful time, so that helped a lot. I would recommend others to go here. I think as a family member you need to stay involved and know what is going on.

I would highly recommend the memory care unit. The staff is trained and they truly care for their residents. They're professional treat their residents with kindness and dignity. I picked Morning Star over the others because of their mission: Honor God, Value All Seniors, Invest Generously. It's a community of faith which is very important to our family.

We toured MorningStar at Mountain Shadows during our search for a Memory Care facility for our loved one. The apartments at this facility were nice. Although, as a stranger to them, they didn't seem very helpful or warm towards us. We decided to keep searching.

This community was a really hard sell. I seen one staff member the whole time I was there in the memory care unit. Maintenance was also not on top of things, rooms were not up to base and carpet was nasty. It was a really good tour and really thorough.

My wife, during the last six weeks of her life, was kept safe and clean thanks to the staffs at Morning Star and Abode hospice. Knowing she was being well taken care of made my own life, at a most difficult time, much easier.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Morning Star Mount Shadows while seeking a Senior care facility. I was totally impressed with the staff, everyone was helpful, caring and friendly. I was especially impressed with the presentation, and quality of the food being served. It had the appearance of a meal from a quality restaurant, not what I expected from a care facility. The residents seemed happy and enjoyed their meal. You should be proud of your facility and the people you have working there!

If you don't care what the food looks like, taste or texture. Morning Star will be great. But if you read their ad an believe you are getting chief quality meals you are mistaken. If you have a person in the alzheimer's unit who has to go on either mechanical soft or puree do not believe the ad. They only put that ad out for families to read so families think that they have really great service and meals for their patients. Families are led to believe their loved ones will get quality food . Even in the main dinning most food is just frozen stuff like you find at Costco nothing Cheifs make from scratch .When a family tries to get them to do what the ad says a fight that will never end happens. I tried to post pictures here but couldn't.

[Removed] was very gracious and professional. The facility staff on hand were friendly and seemed mindful of responsibilities. It was clean and comfortable. My first tour of the four options, but I was pleased with what I saw.

I toured this community for my mom.They had the great staff to answer my questions on the care. They did not feel comfortable with my mom being a diabetic. The menu was nice and the variety of activities might have been helpful. This community was nice, but more than what I wanted due to being too big. I would suggest that families tour this community for care of a loved one.

My mother is still adjusting and doing fine at the MorningStar. The place is clean and well maintained. I feel that my mother is getting the best care that they can offer. The only thing I am struggling with right now is the administrative side. I have some things I need help with and they are a bit slow in the process, but that could change. Overall I am pleased and it is a positive environment.

My dad is doing is good with the assistance of very courteous and very helpful staff. He is enjoying and likes the meals. He gets 2 entree choices with ice cream for dessert. They have basic substitutions available. He likes the people and residents that live there. We picked this facility because it is close for me, that is really nice for me. He is doing home physical therapy and doing better that he dropped down a level of care. His room is so nice and housekeeping and everyone does a nice job. It has a hill top view and a porch, I see him on the porch at times when I come to visit. He does some activities like exercising and he is going on a scenic tour to the mountains . He likes showing the little bistro and offers hot chocolate, cookie, and popcorn to his guests. It is very safe and almost perfect. It helps they have long term incentives.

After touring many communities we found this to be the best for us. It was the most homey community we saw. My in-laws wanted a more intimate environment. We like all they do for my in-laws and they are happy with the community, It worked out best for all of our need and they are doing very good.
