Not just a memory care

My mother has been at Morningside for a couple of years now and I have to say from the Directors to housekeeping, they have shown the deepest compassion, dignity, care, and respect to each and every resident. I look forward to not just visiting mom, but playing a game of trivia or bingo, enjoying an ice cream social and the smile on her face. The family gatherings during the Holiday, made our Holiday experience, memorable and enjoyable. I can be my Mothers daughter again and enjoy the moments we have together.

Outstanding Service; Frenchie is AMAZING!!

I wanted to compliment the entire team at Morningside, notably [name removed], the Supervisor of Laundry Services. Anytime we have needed service with a quick turnaround, [name removed] answered the call. She couldn't have been more pleasant and willing to step up. Thank you [name removed]!

A great experience during a hard time

Between the general stress of a diagnosis like Alzheimer’s or Dementia and all that comes from it this can be an incredibly stressful time for all involved. Luckily I was able to find a facility that not only met my needs but exceeded them. The staff is kind and caring. If you didn’t know any better you would think everyone is part of the same family. Even better, they make a commitment to help any way they can, whether that is emotional support, helping navigate medical questions and concerns, or anything in between. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else with my family and loved ones and I don’t think anyone else can.

Team that makes an impossible situation bearable.

No one ever thinks they will need memory care or to need memory care for a loved one. It is a hard, confusing and complicated situation. If you find yourself needing memory care, this is the place to find that care. The team is kind and empathetic and provides so much support. Everyone there cares and it shows.

Care and compassion

Just a quick recommendation for Morningside House of Sarasota. The staff onsite from the front office to all clinical, environmental, and food service were just amazing to my father. The onsite Fox therapy group not only helped with PT, OT, and ST, but they would stop by just to say hello and engage my father. I couldn’t have asked for a better combined group and place for my father. Everyone knew him and would give me updates, or some funny story that had happened. Truly felt the care and compassion from the entire staff, every time I was onsite. Highly recommend.

So Happy!!

Morningside House holds a special place in my heart. My husband is a bit unique in that he’s younger and although he has advanced cognitive impairment he is incredibly fit and physically active. I hesitated for a long time to place him in a memory care community because I didn’t believe his needs for physical activity which for him is critical to his happiness, could be met in a large group setting where many may be not as active as he is. In fact, as I toured several communities in the area I found my concern was legitimate and I learned the most important factor to consider in choosing a memory care community is the team behind the facility. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed] are that team! Once I met them I realized they’d make all the difference in my husband’s quality of life because they are dedicated to meeting the needs of each individual at Morningside House. Maybe it’s because they’re used to meeting the needs of the several high functioning men who reside here or the fac

What a relief!

[name removed] at Morningside was kind, understanding, and extremely helpful in getting my 97yr young mother placed with them. All the staff is absolutely wonderful and very insightful. We don't have to worry about mom like we did prior to her placement there. She is beginning to interact with staff and actually recognizes some of them by face. Slowly, they are getting her out of her shell! Their activities are engaging and all the staff gets involved in the bigger events. They actually know their residents name and their quirks and the residents are treated with respect and dignity!

Pros and cons

Overall we were pleased with the care that my mother received here. I gave numbers 3 and 4 lower due to the constant turnover of staff and lack of training. The facility is clean, never has an odor. Good activities are offered if the resident is able to partake. Seasoned staff aides are very thoughtful and well trained, (we thought quite highly of [name removed]) but new aides need much improvement with training. My mom was quite frail and was treated roughly by inexperienced staff. My dad stayed with her every single day from 8A-7P and witnessed this, many times he had to assist due to low staffing (he is 95). I was told that they had minimal turnover, not true. Overall, I believe she was comfortable during her stay.

Beyond our Expectations

We have been in and out of Senior Communities. The experience that we had walking into this beautiful community goes beyond just a simple post. Thank you [names removed] for letting us be part of the family. From the friendly staff to the wonderful amenities it’s a diamond in Lakewood Ranch.I believe anyone thinking of moving a loved one here has made the right choice.

Best of the Best

We began our search for the right memory care community for mom two years ago. We had her in two different, extremely highly recommended assisted living communities in the Lakewood Ranch area, that unfortunately couldn't hold up their end of the bargain. (NOTE: When looking for memory care, DO NOT go with an assisted living facility, all of the community resources and focus are NOT on your loved one in memory care, rather, on the majority of the residents who are located in independent or assisted living). Through a mutual friend, we found Morningside House (formerly Poet's Walk). We've been their for four months and I kick myself constantly for not finding this amazing team soon. From the move in process, everything was made easy to understand, there was no rush and we had the opportunity to meet the entire team before we actually moved mom in. Since the first day, this team has kept EVERY SINGLE PROMISE. We feel that we are finally a family again!

This is very helpfull and the stafe is 100 % so well trained

I want to say that this company is the best in care, communication, staff in leader ship and sales. I feel so grateful I moved my brother from 2 other companies. Because they do not have the care my brother is getting from day one. The engagement is wonderful they are the only companies that got it correct with my brother. Every one is so professional from dinning to floor staff. I can not get enough to say THANK YOU TO EVERY PERSON THAT WORKS FOR HELPING THE CARE FOR MY BROTHER.

Food was disgusting, sad

Nice facility however, the food at lunch was disgusting. I suppose the memory-care residents don't know the difference. The soup was watered down, the ham was gelatinous, the bread was half toasted and soggy. Even the lemonade was watered down. Only choice was the rubbery ham or turkey. My first visit. Maybe it wil be more palatable next time. I sure hope so. And, I did tell the staff.

Support, Compassion and Connection.

The transition into memory care for a loved one can be daunting, but the staff made it an incredibly supportive process. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt welcomed and reassured. Knowing that there are dedicated professionals on hand to provide assistance and specialized care whenever needed brought immense peace of mind. The staff has been incredibly responsive and proactive in addressing any concerns or questions we've had along the way. Their guidance and expertise in navigating the complexities of dementia and understanding how it impacts not only my mom but our entire family has been incredibly helpful. My mom (who has now lived there happily for over a year) was adjusting to the new activities and change in lifestyle from her independent living into this supportive community within months of moving in. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care and support my mom has received at Morningside. I wholeheartedly recommend Morningside House of Sarasota.

The food went through a short, bad period as the facility experienced staffing problems like everywhere else, but they have taken steps to get a new chef in and bring it up to par. Their Christmas dinner was beautifully presented, executed and delicious. These people really care about their mission and their methods for achieving it. It is the only facility I visited that did not feel separate and apart from the world or like a medical facility or lockdown ward. I would highly recommend the facility. No place is perfect -- this place only because they lost their adorable, front door mascot in Louie, a sweet Yorkshire Terrier, who took his job as Welcomer-In-Chief, last July. But this is the Executive Director and her peers' calling and they live to enrich the lives of people beleaguered by horrible brain diseases and make their lives richer and happier than merely existing and that makes all the difference.

Mom's Final Caring Community

A family friend had recommended Poet's Walk Sarasota because his mother had a peaceful, family-oriented experience recently for her final caring needs. I had visited his mother there and knew that this facility, staff, and care was over and above anywhere else I could place my mother for her final days. Poet's Walk Sarasota not only met my expectations but exceeded them as well, by not only taking amazing care of my mother but when the time came, they gently and with great patience and care guided me on how to handle her final wishes and passing. Cannot say enough about Poet's Walk Sarasota, especially [name removed], they not only took my mother in, they treated her like family and made her final days peaceful, happy, and dignified.
