MS is basically a dorm for seniors with RAs on staff there to help when you ask them to (and can reach them); don't expect much more. They do dispense medication but family really needs to pay attention to make sure it is correct (confirm, reconfirm and then check what's actually in the cup) and to notice changes in health (weight gain/weight loss, wearing same clothes for consecutive days, room not being picked up, etc). The food is not good and it's deteriorated significantly over the past few months. I now bring in most of my dad's food in. I feel sorry for the ppl there without family to bring them good food every now and then. This is an easy fix but it's not happening. There has been a lot of turnover in staff lately and there is no transition, making it hard to know who to call for what or to know if the person you are giving instructions to will relay the message to the right person. They have activities, but it's up to the tenants to get out of their rooms and go (and not many do). For [fee removed] a month, I expect (at a minimum) meds to be correctly dispensed and the food to be tolerable. It's an overall disappointment but this is my first experience so I don't have anything to compare it to. Honestly, having now experienced it, I feel it's better to continue independent living with a full time caregiver vs moving them to MorningStar; at least then you know they are getting individual care.

August 23, 2024It grieves us to read this assessment and could address the particulars far better if we could be sure of the resident/family it concerns.

Response from MorningStar at River Oaks
July 8, 2024Geoffrey, thank you for sharing your positive experience at MorningStar at River Oaks! We're thrilled to hear that your mom is enjoying her time with us and that you've found our team and dining experience to be top-notch. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to provide excellent service.
I took my mother out of another facility in the area, and discovered Morningstar almost by accident. I am glad that I found them. She is happy, healthy, and cared for, which is of great comfort to me. It is a welcoming and supportive place. All of my questions get answered promptly and they keep me informed. It's hard because I live in another state, so their support is very important.

June 1, 2024We are thrilled to hear that your mother is happy, healthy, and well cared for at MorningStar. Providing a welcoming and supportive environment for our residents and their families is our top priority. Thank you for entrusting us with your loved one's care, even from afar.
We are very satisfied with everything. Staff understands the emotions of the home finding process. They made us feel at ease. Morningstar has prices that were comparable to places didn't offer the same level of physical quality.
