Review for MorningStar of Pasadena
The best place any senior could be at. The staff is very attentive, polite and helpful at all times. She is given her medication and checked by a nurse every day. The food is good, they have a variation of entertainment every week. There is a trip to the store every week and fun day out too.

I would definitely recommend to others. Overall, we're very happy with Morningstar .The only reason I put 4 for the first response is because the kitchen staff is lacking. But I don't think it's really their fault per se. they're just very short staffed

I am very impressed with the overall experience my father has had at Morningstar. Very happy my father is there.The staff is always very friendly and helpful. My father says the food is excellent and they are always happy to accommodate any special requests. I looked at several other assisted living homes in the area, and Morningstar was head and shoulders above the rest.

Initially communication was great. Once we decided to transfer my mom, the communication was concerning. She was at a SNF and insurance was running out so time was of the essence. I called Morning Star many times over many days and was told the person I was asking for was with a client, on a tour, on the phone… finally in one call, someone told me he was out all week! I don’t appreciate being lied to or the fact that knowing he was not in, they didn’t just tell me and transfer me to someone else to finalize the arrangements. She passed away after being there just a few weeks so I don’t know if communication gets better after you’ve been there a while.

We have recommended it to a friend who is also very happy. Unfortunately, my husband passed away after being there a short time. However, he had been very happy and comfortable there. I just can't say enough about the quality of care he received. I would like to add that we visited several places. Morningstar is a lovely place. They keep everyone involved in activities. It was the best of all the places we visited.

I would give a 5 in every category. Morningstar of Pasadena is a beautiful facility with friendly, caring and professional staff. My mother has done very well there and we feel great peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. I would highly recommend the facility.

The Care Givers are wonderful. Security is an issue which has been improving. Nutrition is beginning to improve. Flavor is frequently lacking.

It is a nice community and Morningstar has been completely renovated. The food could use improvement along with the service staff in dining room.

The physical surroundings are very nice at MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena. The staff is very good. But at times, they're short staffed, so some housekeeping may be delayed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My mom had two medical incidents which they caught quickly and called emergency services. They contacted me right away. When my mom moved in a year ago she was one of only a few ethic Chinese residents. Since then, that population has more than doubled. My mom is an English/Chinese speaker and can speak her native language with a couple of others. The food is good, but no Chinese food. The move-in was very smooth. I definitely recommend this facility to others.

The MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena is clean and new and beautiful. The staff are very competent and friendly and truly seem to "love" my mom. My mother is responding positively to the interaction with others in ways I did not expect It has been a great move for her!

Our family had an in person tour with MorningStar Senior Living community and we thought the community and the tour experience was great but it was just going to be too large for our loved one

We picked this community, because it had what we needed right away and the location was to her doctors office for rides. It's been remodeled and looks gorgeous

We went to several places and this was the one facility that did not depress me. People were up and about and engaged. The care and the humor from the staff was just wonderful. His room was lovely as well. They always kept in communication with me if there was any ever question or concern. It was an incredible experience and I would give them all top marks. It was the best place and I would recommend them to others in a heart beat.

I liked it, but it was "too fancy" for my mother. They have recently had some renovation

My Mom who has lived here for four years. Her apartment is lovely and she is well looked after. They have recently been renovating right now and the changes are elegant. It looks so nice like a 5!star hotel. But the community is so much more than that. The vibe here is respectful and thoughtful. [name removed] the executive director is approachable and hands on seeing to all aspects of life for the residents and staff. [name removed] walks his talk. Everyone who works here is patient and kind to the residents and families and each other.

MorningStar of Pasadena is an extremely nice facility, this was my top choice out of all of the places we toured - it is pretty pricey though. Unfortunately they did not have any availability at the time that we were looking.

My mom loves it here at Morningstar Senior Living. For us, the location is very ideal. It is close to our home so it is easy to get to her and we can get there quickly if need be. It is surrounded by a lot of other places as well so if she wants to go out she can do so. They do offer independent and assisted living which is nice in case she needs that type of care down the road. Overall we would recommend this facility to others looking.
