Morningstar River Oaks - Memory Care

Morningstar was a very different experience than competitors in memory care. The facility is light, bright, open, and has a design conducive for memory care residents. On top of that the staff is caring, engaged and attentive. Residents participate in a variety of activities including outings on a regular basis. And the food was varied to keep meals interesting avoiding food fatigue. I toured 14 facilities in houston before finding MorningStar and am very pleased with my choice. I would highly recommend. It is pricey, one of the top 3 costs, but if you can manage it, it’s been worth the expense for our Mother. Yes, there are things that need some improvement but those are minor in comparison to the quality of care residents receive here.

Amazing Find

The senior community is huge! Morning Star feels refreshing when you walk in. Touring communities can feel like a lot, but the team did not disappoint. The resident are happy and that speaks for its self. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Very welcoming

Morningstar is great! Morningstar is a very welcoming environment. At mealtimes, they often put the tables together so that people can easily get to know each other and foster an inclusive environment. My mom made many friends at Morningstar and quickly adapted.

Needs Improvement

MS is basically a dorm for seniors with RAs on staff there to help when you ask them to (and can reach them); don't expect much more. They do dispense medication but family really needs to pay attention to make sure it is correct (confirm, reconfirm and then check what's actually in the cup) and to notice changes in health (weight gain/weight loss, wearing same clothes for consecutive days, room not being picked up, etc). The food is not good and it's deteriorated significantly over the past few months. I now bring in most of my dad's food in. I feel sorry for the ppl there without family to bring them good food every now and then. This is an easy fix but it's not happening. There has been a lot of turnover in staff lately and there is no transition, making it hard to know who to call for what or to know if the person you are giving instructions to will relay the message to the right person. They have activities, but it's up to the tenants to get out of their rooms and go (and not many do). For [fee removed] a month, I expect (at a minimum) meds to be correctly dispensed and the food to be tolerable. It's an overall disappointment but this is my first experience so I don't have anything to compare it to. Honestly, having now experienced it, I feel it's better to continue independent living with a full time caregiver vs moving them to MorningStar; at least then you know they are getting individual care.

My mom is currently a resident at MorningStar at River Oaks and the experience has been good so far. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The food is top tier. We have regular meals with my mom in their dining room. I would strongly recommend MorningStar at River Oaks.

Highly Recommend

I took my mother out of another facility in the area, and discovered Morningstar almost by accident. I am glad that I found them. She is happy, healthy, and cared for, which is of great comfort to me. It is a welcoming and supportive place. All of my questions get answered promptly and they keep me informed. It's hard because I live in another state, so their support is very important.

Highly recommend. Top tier facility with friendly staff

We are very satisfied with everything. Staff understands the emotions of the home finding process. They made us feel at ease. Morningstar has prices that were comparable to places didn't offer the same level of physical quality.
