Review for Morningside of Vestavia Hills
Sometimes, licensed personnel seem less interested in providing care requested by family, and orders sent in by her primary care physician. We pay a lot of money to be sure our mom is safe in the facility in which she resides! I want to encourage more training for staff in timely removal of MD's orders from the fax machine, and then prompt attention to those orders. (I was told my mom's MD orders were taken off the fax machine but were not picked up by the licensed nurse on her unit until 3 days later).

Be vigilant when placing a loved one here
My mother had zero hot water in her room. They bathed her in cold water. Communication between staff concerning new occupants was poor. They expected a 92 year old who had never been in an elevator to navigate elevator use for meals on the first day. My mother was sent to the hospital on the third day of occupancy and never returned. They refused to refund any money even though she was only there 3 days. They charged a hefty occupancy rate plus a large "Community Fee" which was also not refunded even though she only slept there two nights, only ate three meals and barely moved in before they claimed she wasn't a good fit for their place!! Also refused to return and entire two months of medication we brought with us when she moved in.

Very positive
The faculty/staff is VERY friendly and willing to assist. That has been our experience. The room sizes suffice. Not too big and not too small. They're good.

The fact that if she needs to move to memory care, she won't have to change facilities! Her room is close to dining room. Mother said she would tell them the food isn't good! Medicine ladies are very nice! Mother says dining room floor needs to be mopped!

My experience
The dining room could be cleaner and swept between meals or at least at the end of the day. You will come in for lunch and shreds of dinner will be on the floor from the night before. It makes me wonder if the kitchen is clean and the dishes are clean too.

Review for Morningside of Vestavia Hills
It's a nice place to stay for retirement! But they need to improve their meals for the Elderly! Some say the meals are crappy and are not well balanced! Lots of sandwiches with hardly no veggies, that are nutritious for the body!

Morningside has been wonderful for my mother.
Morningside has been wonderful for my mother. They have been very helpful and made my mother's transition from her home to their retirement home, feel like home. The staff is very kind and nice. They're always willing to help as well.

Its very nice and have lots of activities. A few complaints about the dining. For instance they are on lock down now for covid and she and several other residents did not get any breakfast this morning

Overall a nice community
Our overall experience is good. The staff friendliness is mixed, some cheerful and engaging, others just doing their job and don't seem to have any interest in knowing the residents. Cleanliness is good, meals are satisfactory but not exceptional. Transportation services are excellent, and activities are varied. Overall, the residence has provided the services we expected.

Our Experience
I think I fall into the category of thinking that most of these facilities are over-priced. They get you in and very soon begin charging for things that weren't necessarily talked about in the beginning. My loved one moved in at about $3400 per month and now pays about $4700, in just a year's time. I wouldn't recommend Morningside of Vestavia Hills. But take into account that I think the whole industry is out of whack, unregulated, and too focused on the owners and stockholders.

Very happy
My mom has made friends and was able to keep her cats. She is very happy here. They weren’t able to take her to her doctors appointments because she cannot do it by herself. That would be my only complaint. She likes the food. She loves the staff. She feels like she has everything that she needs. I don’t want to put in this much information.

Definitely recommend
They went up on rent [amount removed] for my mom and she's on a strict income. I hope they don't go up anymore otherwise we'll have to find her someone else to go and and she loves it there. The most I like about the facility is the cleanliness, friendliness and caring staff, great residents, the business of the activity schedule. The least is the food choices be off sometimes. They need to adhere to recommendations of all the residents.

Cautiously Recommend
I have heard they are understaffed currently in the kitchen and room -cleaning areas. The variety and descriptions of meals in their printed promotional material comes from company headquarters (Five Star) They do not follow these menus well at all.

Absolutely Recommended
I would absolutely recommend this facility. As a matter of fact, I give high praise to the entire staff. Even though my father has only been there for approximately 2.5 months, he has received nothing short of good service. He has made so many friends and he, as well as my family, are very pleased!

Care & Service is Top Priority
The chef no longer works there so I hope they will get another one or a better cook to plan the meals. I picked this community because of the atmosphere and the positive engagement of the other residents. The young staff that interact with the residents make them very active. I would definitely recommend this place for others. Wish they had a bigger elevator.
