Morningside of Bellgrade review
Very clean, staff for the most part is friendly, positive and helpful, food is much better than most and getting in the door was made quite easy by [name removed] and the other folks there.

If I could give them a zero that would be the rating. It's been one of the worst experiences of my life and sadly not how I imagined my Mom spending the last days of her life. We are working to make it work because from what I hear nowhere else is much better and financially we are tapped out.

Our experience with the sales person was extremely positive and in large part the reason we chose this facility. There is a lack of communication between staff, my mother’s medication has been repeatedly mishandled in spite of my constant follow up with her doctor and the clinical director. There is an unpleasant smell of feces constantly on the second floor. While some of the nursing aide staff is friendly, there are a handful that sit at the station laughing and joking with each other, but rude when you approach with a question. Their phone system has been messed up since we got there so you cannot leave a voicemail message for anyone. The food has not been made to order as promised, so it’s cold and sometimes congealed so we are buying food for my mother . No schedule was ever given to my mother if us to let her know when to expect her clothes being washed, her showers, housekeeping, etc. We have had to ask for every bit of information and it has not even been correct.

Comments about facility/staff 1) They have a NP come by once a week. This might not be good enough for each resident. Recommend getting a conventional PCP (Primary Care Provider). 2) Staff not available 24/7. Night shift frequently leaves before day shift arrives. Eventually, a resident will have a medical emergency (heart attack, stroke, nasty fall). The intentional decision not to have staff available 24/7 is alarming. Have brought my concern about this to the Business Manager, and she immediately disregarded my concern. She also refused (after several face to face requests) to provide copies of the admission documentation. Makes it look like they are hiding something; feeling highly suspicious. 3) The food is terrible. Think of High School cafeteria food. 4) Best activity by far is the monthly visit by service dogs. Lots of love involved, and the dogs enjoy it tremendously!

There has been a significant improvement at Morningside of Bellgrade since last year. I was seriously planning on moving my brother from there last year, but the new ED asked me to give her team a chance so we decided to give it 6 months so stayed. The employees at Bellgrade have done a wonderful job in turning it around. I would recommend this community to anyone, and have.

After touring all the communities in Midlothian, we decided on Morningside of Bellgrade for my mother. The thought of leaving her home made her very reluctant but when we came to Morningside the staff was so friendly and many of the residents were enjoying the entertainer that was there and she decided to move into Morningside because it felt so welcoming. She's been there 6 months now and has grown to love living there.

It was absolutely the worst experience and I would NEVER recommend them for anyone you love. Improvements would be to - change management and staff. Morningside of Bellgrade is horribly ran

Most of the time the staff was very nice to my mother except a couple of times in the dining room. She liked the food. Many times around the holidays it would be short staffed. Her room was always clean. I would recommend Morningside of Bellgrade to others.

After just 3 months there our experience has been BAD. My uncle is an amputee and a veteran on full disability. Our experience has been negative since move in day when we arrived with him and his things to be told we couldn't move in that day as a nurses evaluation was needed first. After some "discussion" the nurse on duty evaluated him and he moved in. This was preventable with communication. ACH payments were not offered at application and not mentioned until asked. No invoice was received for the 1st months rent. That was mailed, deposited but never credited to his account. The ACH paperwork was also lost. Although we stated clearly several times that his medical care and meds come from the VA no one mentioned that they don't contract with the VA causing us additional costs. Add to this the over powering smell of urine when you enter the doors, AND feces in the hall floor for over an hour! We pay $500 /m for care but no one helps or prompts him to bath on a regular basis.

From my perspective pretty much all the questions I would rate a 5. [name removed] is very capable with being able to do most things without assistance. But he seems very happy with the staff when he does need help. The only thing I am not familiar with is the value for cost. My daughter tends to those issues. I have heard no complaints about it, so I would think that would also be rated pretty high also!

At first it was the best value as far as cost. The nursing staff seemed stable and concerned about the residents. But during the year ,there has been so much turnover there that it has changed for the worst. I am considering moving my mother.

The residents are very friendly and there is always something to do if you like to socialize. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and warm community.

We chose Morningside of Bellgrade because of the size, being smaller and the set up has everything kind of close, which is nice! The easy access to outdoors! And the large bathrooms and nice layout!! They are trying, just like everybody else!

My loved one was previously a resident at Morningside of Bellgrade and his overall experience at this facility was terrible. There were a couple of big staff changes right after he moved in, which impacted issues that had been discussed and were to be addressed for my loved one. I never really got responses and changes were never made. The aides were less than helpful with care and, at some points, rude to my family and I. My loved one's dietary plan wasn't followed. A couple of the nurses were good and kind, but others were not at all acceptable in their attitudes. After completing a couple of months there, we left due to poor conditions and lack of care. I would absolutely not recommend this facility to anyone.

My loved one used to live here and passed here was often upset about the treatment this patient received from the Medication Technicians on the top floor...and im referring to the women that worked in the evening. Extremely rude, never helpful..disrespectful. NO bedside manner.... Always issues with my loved ones medication I cannot believe these women are legally allowed to work in personal care!! The way they talked to me I can only imagine how they talk to the patients when no one is around! The Nursing Assistants in the evening sit around with a disgusting attitude. Came to visit my loved one soaken wet in urine.. hadnt had a shower in weeks. From chatting with other patients families I know im not alone in these issues.. the Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of nursing clearly dont bat an eye to these issues with the night shift team... Do NOT put your loved one in this facility!!

[name removed] is very happy there. I can't really speak for the value as I don't really have involvement with that aspect. The staff have all been great and the facilities couldn't be much nicer! Based on our experience and what we have witnessed we would definitely recommend Morningside of Bellgrade to other families.

We toured Morningside of Bellgrade when searching for a facility for our loved one. We had a great tour! The atmosphere and our tour guide were great. The cleanliness and friendliness were also great. Ultimately, it came down to price and location for us.
