My mom spent the final 2 years of her long Alzheimer’s journey at Morningside Place. I felt good about the facility and the care she received. The facility has plenty of staff and staffing seemed stable with lots of the same faces over those 2 years. It’s is no small challenge caring for, keeping track of and entertaining 65 memory impaired individuals! Morningside handles that challenge well. Most memory care places I looked at are part of a combined assisted living and memory care with only 15 or so dedicated memory beds. This made a lot of those memory care facilities feel like quiet ghost towns. My mom was a social, active person. Morningside, being all memory care and having 65 residents, was always full of activity with lots of residents and staff walking around and spending time in the common areas. For my social mother, this was the right spot for her to be in and feel part of a community.

Irene Mendoza is truly the best! She is very helpful and kind and goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone is taken care of- both patients and families. Morningside is so lucky to have her.

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. ♥️
