    I researched quite a few facilities before selecting this one and moving a parent into memory care on 8 Oct. When visiting the facility, talking with current residents, residents' families, and staff, it's clear that there is LIFE here. It's not a place where people move to sit and wait, rather the activities each day were fun, engaging, and plentiful. The whole staff, from the Executive Director (Allison Eckert) on down, were highly engaged and sincerely welcoming. All of them freely provided their cell phone numbers and encouraged communication. Making an adjustment into any facility is a lifestyle transition for the resident. It also affects the supporting family too. I found the Care Coordination team, led by Allison Kerr and including Toni, Caley, Melody, Haley, Katelyn, Sandra, Silke, and more to be a delight every day and every step of the way. They radiated patience, kindness, support, and a contagious joy that made the adjustment easier for everyone. I was also really surprised by the food. After eating there for consistently for a week, each meal was far from the bland, uninspiring fare that a stereotype might imply. Instead, they were flavorful, well presented, and consistently as good (if not better) than what you might find at a restaurant. Every single resident I spoke with echoed this sentiment too. Surprisingly, several said they could not remember seeing a repeated dish for many, many months. As important as food quality is to a fulfilling day, this is a key area that I was delighted by. Overall, my initial experience has really be positive. While they are one of the more expensive facilities in town, and I don't think they accept Medicaid, it's clear that the costs are being used to support and excellent resident experience.

    MorningStar at Mountain Shadows has been a wonderful residence for my parents over the past two years. I toured several Assisted Living places in Colorado Springs & the surrounding area before easily choosing this one as the best -- much due to the outstanding, warm, happy, caring, & compassionate staff, as well as the fact that this community is small enough for everyone to feel safe, get to know each other, form phenomenal friendships, and feel like they really belong. It is HOME! Having a beautiful and well-kept facility is very important, but the real measure of success comes with the happiness of my parents day in and day out. The entire staff is friendly, respectful & accommodating ~ they consistently provide top notch care in an upbeat, loving, cheery environment. There is a wide range of entertaining activities, great dining 3x per day with an impressive menu selection, wonderful field trips on the Morningstar bus ~and literally so much to do that my parents often mention they are too busy to take part in everything offered. Having my parents relax & enjoy their golden years in MorningStar brings me peace of mind and I feel very blessed that we found this awesome home for my parents. I love that the staff grocery shops, cooks, cleans, drives, etc for them so they can enjoy all the events offered ~ it has been a fantastic experience overall. They love & respect their many Veteran residents for their service to this great country, which is appreciated as well. The celebrations of birthdays and holidays, cook outs and special events that includes extended family assures no one ever feels left out or unappreciated. This is an impressive organization and their adherence to Judeo-Christian values is easily apparent.

    Visiting friends, and was very impressed with the facility and staff. Place is clean and very nice decor. Rooms are great. Had a wonderful visit and will be returning. Not like a lot of places where you can't get out fast enough. Thanks for making every one that is in the building feel welcome and relaxed.
