5 stars for facility & care 4 1/2 for communicaton

Looked at Morningstar 1st of the 5 facilities I toured. Knew immediately MS was the place for our old mom. Needed to do my due diligence to be able to sell MS to my sister who was traveling. Other facilities were too large, overdone, mix of assisted living & memory care. MS is so bright & cheery. Wide hallways. Wonderful colors. 2 floors replicating dining room, activities, patios. Small number of residents, only memory care. Staff are incredibly nice & show great concern & care for residents. She acclimated much faster than we imagined. She told me staff is so nice & always checking on her. Involved in activities.Re communication. At first there was confusion w/procedures, processes, how things are organized. On list of things to bring, a “O” for optional would have helped. Also, very overwhelming decision & easy not to remember things. A simple write up of what to expect would have made for easier transition. With that said we're happy we chose MS.

Need to be Prepared

Today was worst experience yet. I arrived at 8 AM to visit my brother and he was still in his room. Staff was short due to employee illnesses. It was still bad They had maintenance staff helping get some of the patients out of their rooms at 10:30 AM an several of them hadn’t had breakfast yet. They need to be better prepared for these circumstances.

Absolutely not

Their "memory care" center has no actual memory care. They have no actual nurses on staff. It's all what they call med techs. No certification to give medications. The person giving your parents their medication is paid $[fee removed] per hour. They don't know what to look for if there's a problem. CNA's? They call them CM's because they have no training there either.

Wonderful Place for Patients with Dementia

I recently had the opportunity to visit Morning Star San Thomas Memory Care Community, thanks to MJ, who invited me to learn more about the facility. As a Social Worker at SGC rehab, I was truly impressed by the exceptional care and support they provide. One standout feature is their innovative Lavender Program, designed to offer therapeutic activities that promote calmness and well-being for residents with dementia. This program, along with their personalized care, enhances the quality of life for residents. The staff goes above and beyond in offering individualized attention, ensuring both residents and their families feel supported. They take the time to educate families and provide the resources needed for navigating dementia care. Morning Star San Thomas offers a warm, compassionate environment where residents are treated like family. It’s a community that truly prioritizes the well-being of its residents, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking top-tier memory care

Review for MorningStar Memory Care at San Tomas

Staff is much more engaged with residents. The residents are also more active and verbal. I also noticed that families visit a lot more. Nursing staff keeps me updated when they see me. They are very proactive.
