Great staff. Clean and well maintained facilities. In house PT/OT and hair salon. Monthly calendar of activities including off site activities for memory care residents if appropriate. I have first hand experience with 4 facilities and this is the best in my experience

Morningside is shady and I wouldn't put someone I despised and hated there. It's not clean and the staff there are lairs and the " administrator" is so full of it trying to cover her and the facilities [word removed] I know for a fact an employee who knows the truth was fired.

Morningside has become our extended family. Their caring community was perfect for my mom. Everyone from aides, nurses, staff, and administrators truly care my mom and all the residents as family. The activities keep residents engaged and active. We are happy that we found a place that could care better for my mom than we could at home.

The staff and management seem to truly care about the quality of their residents lives at Morningside. My Mother has really declined since moving in, and they have worked with her to help keep her safe and comfortable as they can during quickly changing needs.

You keep raising your price but yet do not pay your help what they are worth. You are wasting money on paint and carpet and some fake pics. I run two business and your help is the most critical thing. You should take some of your money and take care of those that are making it for you. Now you tell me you are rasing the rate over $[removed] a month. That is nothing but corporate greed. I think whoever is in charge of this business should have a little soul searching.

My wife and I were wanting to visit my wife’s grandmother. We called Morningside with a few questions about meeting with our relative and were greeted by the most friendly administrative assistant. She answered all of our questions with enthusiasm, sensitivity, and joy. Thank you for making our day special. Keep up the great work!

Morningside has been a godsend for our family and our Mom. I feel like my Mom has excellent care and is very happy living here. Staff is all so friendly and helpful. They take a real interest in the residents and the family of the residents. Events are planned with the residents in mind. I feel as though I can be gone for a few days and I don’t have to worry about my Mom not being taken care of. My family is very thankful for this place.

As an owner of a home care agency, I am always confident when recommending Morningside to families considering assisted living options. Morningside stands out due to its compassionate staff, well-maintained facilities, and a strong commitment to resident dignity and independence. Morningside’s professionalism and the warm, welcoming environment truly make a difference in the lives of their residents!

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to move mom to Morningside of Gastonia. In the beginning she would tell everyone that this is just temporary, but now she calls it home. She’s excited with all the activities they offer and her new friends help fill her days. Many thanks to the management team and staff.

The staff are wonderful but the price is high and the food is subpar compared to what it was last year. I think they take good care of her but honestly, the menus aren't the best for seniors with lots of medical issues. They serve, primarily, carbs which has caused mom to gain a lot of weight & not want to eat three meals per day as she & other residents should. The food has been my only complaint.

We toured Morningside of Gastonia when searching for an Assisted Living facility for my loved one. Our tour of this facility was great. The facility itself is neat, clean, and secure. It has a large area for residents with dementia. This facility is much larger than most of the other places that I toured. It was my first choice since it is so close to home.

The staff does an excellent job of managing my wife who has severe dementia. They handle her with patience and dignity. The facility itself has a very nice layout. The room size is good. A very pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend Morningside of Gastonia to others looking, it was the best fit for our situation.

My father in law was not changed, he had 4 UTIs in which all went undiagnosed/treated for weeks. He had bedsores on his bottom without having proper treatment if I didn't go take care of him. I had to go every day to make sure he had clean clothes on and not soiled. The staff has a lot of potential- it's the executive director and managers that are hindering the employees. They have not had proper training for memory care. I had to report two of them, and they did nothing about the situation. 1 was on another resident. That's why we moved out. I truly feel bad for several staff members. They stay for insurance.

Although called a 5 Star Community, this facility is average. The biggest complaint we have is the food service. It is poor. The food is overcooked and frequently they are out of things on the menu. For the price the residents pay, the food should be at least as good as the local K&W. It's not even close. Residents have voiced concerns through the proper channels for at least 4 years and there is no improvement. Maintenance is subpar. Stairwells aren't swept, carpets aren't vacuumed adequately, bathroom floors are rarely mopped. The activities director is wonderful and many of the caregivers are compassionate. However, turnover is frequent and new staff have little training. With improved food service and maintenance this facility could be a wonderful asset to the city.

My father is doing well since his move to this community. I do feel he is safe, and in good hands. They have a good staff, and they are taking good care of him, and his needs. When I visit the community everything is nice, and clean. This community is working out pretty well for us, and I would recommend it.

We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. Morningside of Gastonia seemed like a nice enough place, the staff was friendly and professional, but I noticed a few cleanliness issues. I could see a lot of spots on the carpets, it seemed like they had not been cleaned in quite a while.
