For residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, caregivers offer a gentle home in a secure Reflections Neighborhood. Whether your loved one is at the onset of this disease or in an advanced, potentially self-injurious phase, staff can help.

It is the staff's responsibility to remember you prefer coffee with cream, or that you hail from Youngstown, Ohio. It is their pleasure to help you choose a dress for church or going out to dinner.

July 28, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Wendy! We humbly receive your commendation of the service we proudly deliver.
This has been a positive experience for my loved one and family. The way the staff care for my loved one, ambiance, and the food have made it a good experience for us. I'm not seeing my loved one participating in activities, and the staff don't keep me updated on any activities my loved one is participating in. The staff communication isn't as proactive as it could be to let me know what is going on with my loved one. My loved one fell and hurt a limb and the staff did call and let me know about the injury. The staff are responsive to the family's questions about our loved one. The community has 4 aides to care for 40 residents, it would be nice to see more care staff.

February 8, 2023We welcome your compliments on our care and ambience for we are always striving to serve with distinction. We promote Life Enrichment activities throughout the community, posting images on Facebook and in the monthly resident newsletter for all to enjoy. To ensure that you are not paying for services you do not need, we staff in accordance with the level of care of our given population of residents, with considerably more staff than the 4:40 ratio you mention. Please reach out to our Executive Director, Karlie, to understand our staffing model better. Cheers!
My mom was really disoriented when she first came from my dads passing. I looked at a lot of different places and when I walked into Morningstar it was very lively and they had music playing. There were a lot of residents around and people were socializing and playing games. [name removed] the executive director is amazing. The residents are very inclusive and they do not like to see anyone by themselves, they are very welcoming to new residents and help them find their way around. It has been an amazing experience and we would definitely recommend MorningStar Arcadia, my mom is thriving.

September 7, 2022Finding favor in the eyes of our residents and families is the ultimate litmus test. Of course it is! Here, in the cheery reports of contented lives and happy hearts does the MorningStar brand find its fullest measure.
MorningStar's cleanliness, friendliness, care services, staff, meals & dining, activities, and value for the cost are ALL great! What stands out to me the most are the staff and nursing team. I would definitely recommend them to others.

June 2, 2022Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! You have testified to the love we feel for our resident-seniors.
Our family had an in person tour and MorningStar was wonderful, the lady who gave the tour was so informative and welcoming. They had so many different amenities for the residents to take advantage of, it was just a vibrant lively atmosphere. However, our loved ones health was progressively getting worse and we just did not think it would be the best fit for them

December 3, 2021We in leadership at MorningStar whole-heartedly agree! Our team members are heroes by their demonstrated devotion to our Residents.
There are a lot of friendly people and friendly staff here. It's a great place to live. It's just a positive environment. They have plenty of activities, things like costume contests, live music, and lots of different events. And the food is delicious.

November 19, 2021How wonderful to hear such words of affirmation. Our great thanks for taking the time to pen your heart-warming experience at MorningStar.
This community only had rooms that were next to fire dept or next to busy street and would have been to noisy for what was paid. The tour guide also did not know much about the community.

November 19, 2021Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciated your feedback.
I was impressed with MorningStar. The tour was wonderful, the facility is more hotel like and very nice. The rooms were also wonderful and the food looked to be upscale.

October 1, 2021You have testified to the love we so greatly feel for our resident-seniors. It’s our pleasure to serve the heroes of our society.
Our loved one absolutely loves all the meals they are serving. The rooms size is perfect, and just the right fit for her. We would recommend MorningStar community to others. Our only criticism we have which is minor, is it would be nice if they could upgrade their internet. It is extremely slow and very weak.

July 26, 2021Your generous words of praise are much appreciated. It’s our pleasure to serve the heroes of our society.
I would tell others that there has been a lot of staff turnover and they have not been very good about notifying family when that has happened. I have to protectively call to find out for any information as far as visitation goes, so they could improve with their communication skills.

April 20, 2021Thank you for the commendation of our Arcadia community. We love encouraging feedback, including constructive candor. We pride ourselves on clear communication, wanting to establish open, transparent relationships with residents and families, Our Executive Director sends frequent announcements to families, whatever the occasion, but we will certainly take your critique to heart. All the best.
Our experience was excellent, the floor staff on the memory care side was okay, but the staff everywhere else especially the front desk staff was amazing. What made our experience really nice was how easy the made our loved ones transfer. From his previous community to this one, they were very accommodating especially during the pandemic. They were very organized and got us everything that we needed. They coordinated everything, and in regards to that they were fantastic.

February 22, 2021Thank you for taking the time to review us. It is our joy to serve those who first served us—the-trail blazing generations who have gone before us to show us the way.
Morning Star has an insufficient amount of residents in the memory care unit, which means there are not enough residents there to stimulate our loved one has far as having a relationship with them. We do know COVID has played a role in which they have to space out the residents for safety purposes, but that makes it harder for our loved one to develop relationships with the other residents. We are little unhappy with the house keeping. Every time we come visit it seems like we have to always vacuum. Our loved one spilled cranberry juice on her carpet, we have brought it to their attention but it still has not been cleaned up. The care take is great when she helps out of our loved one, but their is a language barrier. Our loved one is hard of hearing so sometimes it is hard for her to understand her care giver. We also aren't really sure what the difference is between assisted living and memory care. We thought the staff on the memory care side would be more on top of things, but they are not much different from the assisted living side. Also, the food is terrible.

December 30, 2020Thank you for your candor. It’s true, there is not a corner of society that has not been impacted by the pandemic, including our Reflections neighborhood. Essential in our Triple Crown defense against the virus is six-foot distancing. Difficult as that necessity is for all of us, it is even harder on the memory-impaired. Yet for our residents’ safety, we strive to maintain it. Our team has worked heroically in 2020 to fill our home with love and laughter and engagement despite the constraints. Among the ill effects of dementia is the loss of taste. Your mother acknowledges that her palate isn’t what it used to be. Considerate of the circumstances, we did give her the option of taking her meals in the Assisted Living dining room. We proudly train our Reflections team in Lavender Sky, our proprietary philosophy and programming in memory care; evidence of those brand standards can be seen throughout our community for the direct benefit of residents. We wish your family well.
From our understanding the care services and activities they offer are good. We really liked how friendly the people are at this community, especially the front desk workers. The gave us immediate attention and were very thorough with explaining to us what this community had to offer. We were very impressed by that and the overall cleanliness and friendliness of this community. The rooms are very good, and adequate.

October 22, 2020Thank you so much for the kind words. We never tire of hearing evidence that we have met and exceeded expectations.
I am very impressed with place itself. It is very clean and very friendly. The staff are very careful about what they do and very friendly. He likes the food. I chose this community because I was impressed with the people that interviewed us, it is very beautiful, and it has a christian background which was all very important to us. I would recommend this community to other families.

October 22, 2020Thank you for taking the time to pen your positive experience at MorningStar!
The staff is professional and caring. Their follow up on my Dad’s situation, before moving into the facility, was excellent along with the communication and organization of all the details. Although my Dad’s medical situation changed, so he did not ultimately move into MorningStar, they continued to genuinely care about his condition and how they could help me get the best solution for his needs. I would highly recommend them to care for your loved one.

My mom has been living at Morning Star about 3 months and overall is satisfied with the facility. Most of the food is good but there are a few things she does not care for and sometimes they run out of the more popular menu items. They do having considerable staff turnover in the dining room among the servers. Communication is pretty good but sometimes you have to go to the executive director to get something done. For example they were suppose to clean the carpet in her suite and it took several requests before it was done. The staff are all very friendly but there is sometimes lack of communication between the staff. The surroundings are very pleasant and modern.
