    My mom has been a resident at Morningside Place for about 3 years. Overall, she is healthier now, has put on much needed weight, seems happy, and is getting PT and OT regularly. I believe the people there truly do care. There was one incident that was upsetting, but the management took care of it quickly, listened to my concerns, and things have greatly improved since. The activities planned are great, and the residents seem to enjoy them! We went in one day during exercise time and it looked fun! Thank you for the love and care you show our family members. ♥️

    Morningside Place is an exceptional place of care for people who require extra assistance due to memory loss. My loved one entered this facility in 2020 and I could not be more impressed by their level of care. The employees show genuine interest in making sure he is treated with respect, dignity and consideration. While the facility has changed ownership, the amount of attentiveness has remained constant. There have been a number of bumps in the progression of his disease. Each time, Morningside Place exceeds my expectations in increasing his supervision and meeting his needs.

    From the moment we first visited, Irene was so welcoming and genuine. Chasity continues to keep families up to date and cares about each resident. Love the angel tree so everyone gets gifts and the many caring activities. Morningside is a wonderful community and we are so thankful for the nursing staff and administrative care.

    4.5 STARS - Residential care facilities are only as good as their professional staff. Kudos to Morningside! We moved in, in April 2024. It wasn't until Jan 2025 , when a mostly new executive team took over did we start to see how wonderful my husband's new home was. Staff in a memory care community is demanding, stressful and hard. Morningside has some exemplary employees that show how much they truly love the residents. This makes one of the most difficult decisions a family has to make, bearable.
