MorningStar of Beaverton

My dad entered memory care at Morning Star in 2023. Either my mom or I was with him daily. So we spent many hours there. Morning Star is a beautiful facility. It looks clean and smells clean. However, it doesn't appear they have enough staff for all of the people in memory care. Because we were always there, we made sure my dad had what he needed. Many people don't have visitors and it seems they can be put in front of the tv very easily. The regular staff is amazing. [names removed] are angels. But weekends are short handed and nurses were often on staff that we didn't know. Generally they do a wonderful job, but there are certainly stand out people working there. Like any senior center, I'd recommend that you show up for your loved one because things can be overlooked. My dad passed away in November of 2023, and I believe he was happy there.

All are 15....... the staff goes way up and beyond...It is truly the best place ever. The staff there actually care about their people and spend time with them. The facility is so clean.

The MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Beaverton community very clean, updated, consistent throughout the building, all care levels. Outstanding food. Good staff.

The community of MorningStar is welcoming and friendly. They let you handle your circumstances as you wish without hard rules. I feel my dad is well taken care of and I'm always impressed with their level of care. Each resident has their very own individual needs, and they meet them.

My mother was placed in memory care and had to be moved to assisted living due to lack of communication among employees. I think the experience of getting a accepted there was a difficult process with not a lot of accurate information upfront. Once in and settled down things improved. Difficulty with phone system not always working, bus for transportation is only available Friday and Saturday which makes it hard to get to doctor appointments, lots of good music and people coming in to entertain, very friendly and competent care workers and med techs. Sometimes hard to get maintenance done .

This facility provides a living for a spectrum of people in different phases of the aging process. It feels more like a place to enjoy quality of life with people to assist as much as would benefit this but not be overbearing. The staff are all so kind and compassionate. They act like a family and treat residents like a family. I would absolutely recommend this facility to family and friends.

The people so nice, and were helpful with anything that I needed Overall, it's a good safe place, and I feel comfortable having my loved one there.

So far MorningStar of Beaverton has been great and we have had a really good experience.

We toured several other community like more then 10 other communities and this was the only one where we saw the staff actually interacting with the residents. It doesn't seem like they are there just to earn a paycheck and go home. This community has just really stood out amongst others. It is very clean and the staff are incredibly friendly. Our loved one is very social and mot of the staff have really gotten to know him which has made him really happy. Based on our experience so far we would recommend the MorningStar community to others.

We've only had a couple of issues. They have been struggling with my loved one refusing to bathe, to the point that it's just not getting done. Also, she was put on a new medication that she refused. And on top of the refusal, they only told us about it after the fact. And they had some record keeping issues around the new medication. But they're really good at coming around in the morning and at night to hand out medications on a timely basis. That and other aspects of her care have been good. The staff are really good and really caring. They will stop whatever they're doing if you need help. My loved one is very independent and stubborn, and I understand the difficulties they face with that. They have a lot of activities going on on a daily basis, and they post them all over so people can see what's going on. All in all, it really is a wonderful place.

I would advise to give this community a try. It seems like it is a decent place for your loved one. The staff were good with my loved one and the interactions were good. No issues.

It is an excellent, caring community that is clean. They have nice staff. The staff are responsive to any my questions or concerns. There have been games, singing, movies, and more for the residents to choose from for activities.

We chose MorninngStar because of the value for the money, it is a newer modern facility, and the food menu was great. The meals are chef prepared and they get a menu with options to choose from. I gave the administration 3 because the staff is transitioning, they are in the on-borading process so there are some blips going on at the moment due to that turnover. Overall I would recommend them to others who are looking.

The staff seems cordial and happy to help. The community is recently new with. The communication with the staff is good for the most part. The staff seems understaffed at time. I wish there was a transition from assisted living to memory care.
