MorningStar at Golden Ridge got my attention as soon as I walked in the front doors. I was immediately greeted with a smile and kind offer to assist me. The facility is physically impressive in every way. Everyone I met was professional yet engaging, treating me like family. I was escorted to a room where the lady gave me a brochure and then explained the various physical areas and the many advantages of life at MorningStar. Then I was given a tour and I got more excited with everything that I saw. I was looking for an assisted living place for my 91 year old sister and I knew that MorningStar was the right place for her. The understanding of dementia was an important factor in my search and MorningStar has an outstanding commitment to this area. As we toured, the staff spoke with every resident that they encountered. This personal connection impressed me very much. I felt very comfortable and welcomed there as I toured. I look forward to having my sister be a resident at MorningStar.

Are mom has been there for 5 year and the people are great and Tammy and her team really takes care of her and is on the ball with everything. Thank you so much for that!

Having recently moved our mother to Morning Star at Golden Ridge, we have found the people helpful, friendly, and genuinely caring. On the day that my mom moved in, she was met by another resident that welcomed her to the cruise ship that never goes out to sea. From the concierges at the desk to the sales representative, the life enrichment coach to the housecleaning staff, they call my mom by name and usually know the family’s names. They take time to listen and to work to make those who visit welcome.

I really wish to make a positive friendly report on Vanessa De La Cruz and Morning Star. This became my home six months ago and I am totally spoiled. This place is comfortable. Awesome a great place to live with someone like Vanessa helping us out. She’s always been there for support. She’s kind and it’s so good to have someone like that to rely on when you’re in a retirement home.P

The facility appeared very clean and attractive. Lots of activities, and residents we saw appeared happy. Was impressed with how good [name removed] was with residents, he knew their names, and they responded well to him. Liked the idea of ground floor casitas. This was the first place we visited, and overall, we got a very good impression. The location was further away from our current neighborhood than we hoped to find, but overall, we were impressed with the quality of the residence.

Morning star appears to be an exceptional well run establishment with many amenities and personnel to make sure everyone is well cared for. The buildings were neatly organized and nicely arranged to be easily accessible to all.

Jannea Downs the wellness director is outstanding! I am grateful to her for all that she has done to help assist my aunt in Morning Star! She goes the extra mile to make sure that all of the needs are met! Her genuine care and concern is amazing! I also want to thank her team members that have also been tremendous! Thank you to Colleena also for your assistance ! I am so thankful that my aunt is probably taken care of!

Wonderful AL and Memory Care company to work with. I have gotten to spend a lot of time here and the staff, nurses, and event people are great. There is a lot to do here and it feels like a great place to be for residents. I recommend it to people in the area when needed.

Those on my list were easy to arrange for a visit - Morningstar called me to set up my appointment. I was in independent living when I feel down and broke my knee cap. They immediately shifted me to an assisted living appointment and got me assistance in managing my care.

What we like the most about the community is that it overall is a very nice facility, plenty of things to do, art, library, movies, themed activities, entertainment and nice menu options. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

I don't live there, my sis and bil do, and they love it! They are grateful for good food, housekeeping 2xmonth, spacious apartment, and friendly staff. Neither of them has been able to participate in activities due to health conditions. The independent living with the 1 car garage is exceptional. Only place I have been that offered that.

The food menu is very heavy on potatoes, rice, and pasta, and very light on vegetables and fruit.
