Friendly and caring staff
The apartments are roomy, the staff is very attentive and understanding of my mothers needs. She's in hospice now and quite hard to deal with. The common areas are nice and they have plenty of activities. The food is on par with other places we visited. Mom did not need to move to memory care once she became confused. They let her stay in her apartment with more help and attention.

We looked at 2 bedroom apartment and ate lunch there. Food and service was good. The facility was clean and pleasant. People seemed friendly. Since it seemed to fit our needs, we put our name on the waiting list.

The facilities are excellent. But Ridgegate is far more amenable to people with lower needs. If the resident requires more attention or care, it feels like a fight. But for residents with lower needs, the facilities and amenities are probably as good or better than just about anywhere

2 bedroom with a fireplace on 4th floor is wonderful. Court yard is great. Holiday celebrations are good. Staff is great. Activities are good. Parking for those with cars is great. They have exercise classes, but not enough. Very easy. The place is clean. They offer rides to appointments and places but seem too busy, not enough drivers and nothing last minute.they have a little bar that people like to get a drink before dinner. Most disappointing is we moved in when they had points for meals. They could use their extra points for family. They took that away and get all meals included with their rent. Now family and friends pay to eat there every time. It discourages visitors and seems a waste as we frequently have meals outside of the place. Also if you are in assisted living you cannot go to independent living dining room unless you pay for it. That is just ridiculous as they are already paying for meals that are all made in the same kitchen. It also creates a huge separation between the two groups. Going into assisted living then feels like a death sentence for the residence. As they get separated. We love that we can just give them 30 day notice and move out. The handymen are responsive and fix things when asked. The front desk girls are nice. I like that they check on them if they don't push the green check every morning. The food gets old and lacks taste (bland) a lot of the time. There isn't a huge change in the menus. They have had quite a bit of turn over with kitchen staff. We have a new cook this month. They changed out perfectly good carpeting and they chose such an UGLY carpet. Really bad. The old carpet was great. Maybe they did it so if there is a spill or accident know one will ever know. Really bad. But the rooms are great with nice upgrades.

Morningstar switched to a non-points dining program. They offer "3 meals a day" except on Sundays. Unfortunately there is only one dining facility. They are promoting special events like High Tea, A night in Paris dinner, Merry days, Holiday meals, etc. on a routine basis. These events are expensive, poorly announced, require advance reservations, and take over the dining facility. Those residents who don't participate (a large number) aren't able to use the dining facility and have little to no options for food. We recently visited our good friend and the entire lobby was filled with residents seeking dinner with only a few bags of chips and some cut vegetables available. The dining room also, without warning, closes early for staff meetings. Coffee is hard to get. Poor lady has gone without meals at times. We recommend seeking a place with reliable meals for all

Nothing's perfect, but my experience has been good and we would recommend MorningStar at RidgeGate to other families!

The only reason we didn't choose them was because they couldn’t provide the level of care we needed. But I really liked the facility. It had a lot to offer - a swimming pool, a work out facility, and nice outdoor space for people to gather in.

Our experience was outstanding, they were so wonderful to our loved one. They put their residents first always, and would always check-in on our loved one. They kept up constant communication with our family even if it was late in the evening. Their number one thing though was the genuine care they showed the residents, you could really tell they loved their people

Our family was able to have an in person tour and it was excellent. All the representatives were wonderful, exceptional and answered all of our questions. However it was just to expensive for us.

I have made so many friendships here in the last six months. I have all kinds of friends now, and I don't eat alone anymore. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner I eat with freinds. It's just a very friendly pace. I have a dog, and they have a little park here for dogs, which my dog appreciates. I think my apartment is great. It's very expensive, but I can afford it, and I know I can't take my money with me, so I'm going to spend it. Housekeeping is included, and they do an average job. I find dust sometimes, but they do clean the bathrooms and kitchens really well. We have to wash our own sheets, but if we lay them out, housekeeping will put the clean sheets on the bed for us, which I really appreciate it.

My wife has been the dementia care unit for four months and I could not have picked a better place I feel so good leaving her in such good hands. I have never met more caring people.

My mom has been in the Reflection's Memory Care at Morning Star at Ridge Gate since September 2018. Our family is so relieved that she is safe, cared for and LOVED! Of course we are sad that her dementia is rapidly advancing but we can't think of a better place than this facility. They have only been open for less than 2 years so they do have their growing pains. Every complaint I have had was immediately dealt with and a solution was given. Mom is happy doing activities that keep her busy. She is making friends with other residents as well as staff. She has gained weight with all the yummy food she has been served. And her religious needs have been met. This facility feels like OUR family's home away from home as well! The staff greets us like their family too!

Had my mother here for 6 weeks in Memory Care. Beautiful facility, but forget about proper care and services. Promised service rarely delivered. What you get is an extremely high priced apartment, mediocre food, careless cleaning services (housekeeping and laundry) and medicinal services that are not to be counted on. Care staff not properly trained. Express concerns to upper management, and they blow you off. Even concerns expressed by our medical provider - given directly to care management - were ignored. MorningStar is ALL about the $$$. This review given after having my mother in two MorningStar properties a total of 1-1/2 years. This review is NOT sour grapes. It is given after MS given several opportunities to improve care and services. If you want the best care for your parent, go to Balfour.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my Mother-In-Law. It is a very nice facility but it is on the larger side. The marketing director who gave us the tour seemed to be very knowledgeable and even let us know all of the advantages of residing there. They do have a swimming pool, a larger outdoor space, and a nice courtyard. This facility also has independent care, assisted living, and a memory care unit. I would recommend this community to other families.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know Colorado’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Colorado’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
