Five Star Senior Living

Very nice place as nice as the first place I went to.

Because they had no vacancies, there was not a model unit that I could look at, but was allowed to look at a couple of units that had residents. I didn't get the feel that the apartments were as nice as the ones at the Carriage house, I believe it was mainly due to the residents individual furnishings and not being set up as a model. I did like that these units had walls to divide into separate rooms and this would be a plus. I really liked the fact that there was only one entrance/exit and that the door was locked when an attendant was not at the front desk. I also liked that the courtyard was enclosed. The additional medical options such as a visiting geriatric physicatrist (spl) would also be a plus.

Hello, I recently had a stroke and stayed at Morningview for respite and physical and occupational therapy. The staff is wonderful,very caring and positive. The food is great. I would very much recommend staying at Morningview either for respite or as a regular resident.

On February 24, 2015 we moved my Mom who had lived with me for the past 2 years into Morningview at Irving Park. First I spoke with Carol, an advisor at a Place for Mom. We spoke at length and she helped point in the right direction and shared some tips and tools for the search. Next I spent months researching, visiting and analyzing facilities. I chose Morningview for a couple of reasons, but the most important was the interaction I witnessed between the administration and the residents each time I visited. Whether the visit was announced or not the residents were always spoken to my name and they seemed to realize that they were actually cared for and about. Two to three weeks prior to the day she moved in, I felt nothing but dread, guilt, despair and nervousness as an only child placing my Mom. Was I failing her or my adored Dad who has passed away 7 years ago? Every one of those feelings were self imposed. Now as I see pictures when friends and family stop by, I realize I made the RIGHT choice. She seems to have adjusted well and there she has the opportunity to be around others, develop new friendships and be closer to her great grandchildren. Just because she has dementia does not mean that she can't be happy, satisfied or look beautiful. I am very thankful to those who care for my Mom.

What we like the most about Morningview is that the staff are attentive, they had area to move to memory care, garden in middle. We would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

The facility is very short staffed which means things take much longer Seems like they cannot hire a chef who has experience cooking for Large numbers. There have been very little variety and bland flavors

Everyone has been great! Staff is very attentive to their patients. Food menus are specific to each individuals dietary needs and tasty too. The facility is extremely clean and very well maintained on a daily basis. Highly recommended if you have to place a loved one. We are very happy.

The people on staff are willing to talk to you at any time. If there is a problem, they go the extra mile to get it fixed.

There was no availability in the other places I called, others had a respite stay of 30 days or they were to expensive.I feel that these assistant living/memory care facilities is just a money game due to the experiences I have had with them in not taking accountability in their actions. They are happy to take your money saying they are only responsible for the residents but not responsible for any personal items missing.( clothing, shoes, blankets, eye glasses)

[name removed] gave us a great tour. There was communal dining and my loved one like this community. However, my loved one wasn't ready for assisted living and this was the drawback for us.

We knew this was going to be the place for our loved one right when you walked in - you could see straight through all the way to the outdoor patio and the staff members have just been so friendly. The residents that also live there have been super nice. Overall it has been a really good experience and we would recommend this community to other families.

Nice place that encourages socializing and family friendly

Our family had an in person tour and we liked the community the tour was nice, but we did not like how the memory care building was in the same area as the assisted living.

We chose Morningview at irving Park because it is a smaller community with more personalized care and friendly staff. They also had a room available with a patio that opened to up a courtyard that was really pretty. The room sizes are on the smaller side, but it is adequate. I would recommend to others looking.

The community is very nice and we have been happy with them. I would recommend this community to others based on our experience.

Our loved one was only there for two weeks but the community was very nice and clean. The staff members and everyone there were very nice. When we first were looking for communities, Morningview just seemed to take more of our loved ones interests in mind and not treat her just like another new residents moving in.

They were pretty friendly, the rooms were a little smaller here, they do have a call system so if you fall or if you need help they have that system in place but it was about the cloness to us.

Very nice.

This community was very nice. The person that took us around was very nice and helpful. The community however, did not offer the services that my brother needed. I liked that the community was clean and it did not smell like urine.

The community is clean and the staff is friendly, however my concern is staffing level and turnover especially for CNAs. Although the community says they meet NC State requirements, the ratio of CNAs to residents needs to be more to reduce how long some residents have to wait for assistance.
