Review for Morningside of Charlottesville
Morningside has a partnership with INNOVAGE Pace which subsidized the cost of care once a residents funds ran low. However, about 9 months into my family member living at Morningside, the partnership expired and wasn't renewed.

horrible treatment and expense
The worst issue was the total disregard of the DNR order my mother had. They resuscitated her and sent her to the hospital (the wrong hospital!). The hospital, my mother's PCP, and I had to have a conference call to make sure her DNR order was followed. Also, I was told there was going to be refund which we never got. Between the unnecessary hospital bills and the thousands of dollars that [removed] never refunded, the family had to pay the unexpected thousands of dollars of expenses.

Morningside Family
My mom lived at Morningside in Charlottesville for over 8 years. The administrators, staff, and residents became a second family to her. From the spacious dining room, the comfortable parlor, wide hallways, and nice rooms, it was a beautiful facility. There were numerous activities, such as corn hole, Bingo, Trivia, movies, exercise programs, craft projects, and parties that my mother enjoyed. She received excellent care while she was there. Morningside provided many activities that included the families. Some of these included special dinners, and even parades. I would recommend Morningside to anyone that is looking for an assisted living home.

Our needs were met from start to finish.
My Dad transferred to assisted living at Morningside in May. Every staff member I have encountered along the way has been amazing. I wish I could remember all of their names, but I’m one who remembers faces. Just a few names that do stand out are [names removed] and all of the meal service ladies. One in particular made sure if she was there that I ended my day with dessert. There are so many others that crossed our paths that were just as amazing. During such a difficult time in our lives it was a comfort to know that my Dad was in good hands when we couldn’t be with him. In the end, Dad transitioned to Hospice care and he received the same tender care and compassion that they greeted him with on day one. We are so thankful for everyone that played a role in his care.

Our Experience
I would recommend Morningside of Charlottesville to others. I do think that they have some staffing challenges that impact off-site activities. Several times activities have been cancelled at the last minute when my parents were looking forward to getting out. It shouldn't matter if they were the only individuals who signed up.

Welcome Home
My mother had a stroke in July 2023, she couldn't go back home without a care giver. We decided it was best for her to go to an place that could care for her. We tried a few places, she was at one for 5 days, the next one 2 weeks. The care that was given to her was less than stellar. We had went to Morningside to visit and was impressed by the friendly staff, and the decor was welcoming as well. We all decided this was the place to take our mom. Our mom moved in middle of December 2023. Our mom hadn't been social for 12 to 13 years she mainly sat and watched TV. Morningside offered activities and has a dining hall, she started to engage in these. We were all so happy, then one day she told her sister that she could come see her that she was home. We knew we had made the right decision, it made us cry. We can not say enough good things about Morningside and the staff that works there. We have seen other facilities and by far Morningside is hands down one of the best.

A very caring community!
My mom was a resident in Bridges to Rediscovery - the memory care unit at Morningside - from Nov. 2021 - Sept 2023. The staff demonstrates that they really care about the residents by treating them with love and dignity. It is so challenging to care for people with dementia but the staff at MS always did a great job, maintaining professionalism and good humor. Communication between family members and staff was good, easy to report problems or concerns if they arose. It was easy to partner with the Agelity staff to get mom some exercise therapy which she loved. Variety of activities were offered to the residents, Mom also loved the food!

Great Facility
I can’t say enough good things about Morningside of Charlottesville! All of the staff I have met have been incredibly helpful, both in person and when I call. They are responsive and attentive to all family members' concerns. I am amazed at how staff know the names of all the residents they pass. Even on our tour of the Memory Care unit, they took time to engage them in conversation and it was clear that residents were their top priority, not us. Everyone seems truly invested in the well-being of each resident. The facility is well appointed and, unlike other places we toured, there were no lingering odors! It’s clean and bright. My parents take advantage of the many activities offered. The social engagement has really helped my Dad, who seems to have stabilized and improved over the past month. I would highly recommend the facility to others based on my experiences to date. I know other family members feel like I do. They have made our lives so much easier, and we can now enjoy Dad’s and Mom’s company without the burden of their day-to-day care.

Bang for the buck!
This facility is excellent! They are on top of everything and overall it's very clean. It even smells clean. Mom and other residents complain about the quality of the food. It looks ok to me, but they say it doesn't taste great. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know for sure. Communication with the family is excellent, questions are immediately answered. They offer a variety of daily activities. Housekeeping does a deep clean weekly and collects trash daily. They also come in between to clean, if needed. They've remodeled and redone the cabinets and countertops. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!

Exemplary Service
Morningside has exceeded in every area they provide. Their. 24 Hr. service 7 days a week ensures your loved ones' get the attention and care they need. Their recent provided trips to Walmart is a blessing for tenants to get out, do some shopping and get the feel that they are independent. .

Morningside is a Good Community
So far the community seems to be a good fit for my loved one. The staff are professional and well trained. There seems to be some internal management shifts which isn't a bad thing either. Overall it is a good community. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff communication with the family is very good and they are responsive to our questions and concerns. There are three meals a day served and the residents have choices to choose from.
