Inconsistent staffing. Patronizing management.

Chronic turnover in staff and management makes for inconsistent care, service requests are not kept and attitudes are patronizing. Sometimes my loved one's room is clean, sometimes it is a pigsty. Food quality and service is hit or miss. Menu items are often not available. Can't get consistent billing statements or medical records. Emails are rarely answered. There are a few staff that are great and try to give the residents a good experience. The building is newish but is starting to have maintenance issues that are not immediately addressed. I'm concerned the company has budget issues.

Morningstar River Oaks - Memory Care

Morningstar was a very different experience than competitors in memory care. The facility is light, bright, open, and has a design conducive for memory care residents. On top of that the staff is caring, engaged and attentive. Residents participate in a variety of activities including outings on a regular basis. And the food was varied to keep meals interesting avoiding food fatigue. I toured 14 facilities in houston before finding MorningStar and am very pleased with my choice. I would highly recommend. It is pricey, one of the top 3 costs, but if you can manage it, it’s been worth the expense for our Mother. Yes, there are things that need some improvement but those are minor in comparison to the quality of care residents receive here.

Very welcoming

Morningstar is great! Morningstar is a very welcoming environment. At mealtimes, they often put the tables together so that people can easily get to know each other and foster an inclusive environment. My mom made many friends at Morningstar and quickly adapted.

Needs Improvement

MS is basically a dorm for seniors with RAs on staff there to help when you ask them to (and can reach them); don't expect much more. They do dispense medication but family really needs to pay attention to make sure it is correct (confirm, reconfirm and then check what's actually in the cup) and to notice changes in health (weight gain/weight loss, wearing same clothes for consecutive days, room not being picked up, etc). The food is not good and it's deteriorated significantly over the past few months. I now bring in most of my dad's food in. I feel sorry for the ppl there without family to bring them good food every now and then. This is an easy fix but it's not happening. There has been a lot of turnover in staff lately and there is no transition, making it hard to know who to call for what or to know if the person you are giving instructions to will relay the message to the right person. They have activities, but it's up to the tenants to get out of their rooms and go (and not many do). For [fee removed] a month, I expect (at a minimum) meds to be correctly dispensed and the food to be tolerable. It's an overall disappointment but this is my first experience so I don't have anything to compare it to. Honestly, having now experienced it, I feel it's better to continue independent living with a full time caregiver vs moving them to MorningStar; at least then you know they are getting individual care.

Highly Recommend

I took my mother out of another facility in the area, and discovered Morningstar almost by accident. I am glad that I found them. She is happy, healthy, and cared for, which is of great comfort to me. It is a welcoming and supportive place. All of my questions get answered promptly and they keep me informed. It's hard because I live in another state, so their support is very important.

We are very satisfied with everything. Staff understands the emotions of the home finding process. They made us feel at ease. Morningstar has prices that were comparable to places didn't offer the same level of physical quality.

Tips for evaluating your community options

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 Texas’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 Texas’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.
