Reviews & Testimonials

Words of Praise from our Resident Families

  • Brenda D
    April 28, 2026

    [name removed] was very accommodating in getting us an appointment to tour the facility. He showed us around and answered all of our questions and made us feel at home.

    April 2, 2026

    Everyone was very accommodating and was always asking how mom was doing throughout the entire process. Staff are fairly consistent over the years, many staying for over 5 years- relatively low turnover. Lots of weekly activities to do and they coordinate with you if you need to get to dr appointments or special errands around town. Good food. Clean and everyone is helpful.

    Nurse [name removed] and his staff are taking extremely good care of my brother. They are staying on top of his meds, etc. Hus Care Managers made his move positive showing respect and caring for him.

  • Wendy H.
    February 12, 2026

    The entire team has been absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From the very beginning, [name removed] was incredibly helpful in providing information and arranging tours. He graciously gave us two tours, one of which required extra time and patience as my dad was preparing for surgery and moving slowly. He took the time to answer questions from multiple family members and stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process, which we truly appreciated. [name removed] was professional and compassionate during the home evaluation. He treated my mother with such kindness and understanding, especially considering her struggles with dementia. All of the care staff have been friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. [name removed]has been excellent in discussing care levels and personal preferences, always professional, approachable, and thorough in her follow-up. The dining and kitchen staff have also gone out of their way to introduce themselves, make my parents feel comfortable, and help them connect with other residents. The food is very good, with plenty of variety. Making a transition like this is never easy, especially with health and cognitive challenges involved. The staff at MorningStar have made it a positive experience with their encouragement and support. The facility itself is beautiful - bright rooms, high ceilings, and welcoming spaces throughout. We truly love this place and are so grateful for the care and compassion shown to our parents.

    [name removed] showed up on time to let me and my friend view the cottage and then he let me also view the smaller cottage that I had looked at about a week earlier so we could compare the two.

    The staff are friendly and the food is very good. Big choices too. Facilities older, but it's been updated constantly. I have no real problems with the facility.

    I love the friendliness of everyone. Morning Star has been great so far for Mom everyone's so friendly.

  • Anonymous Author
    July 25, 2025

    My comments relate to the memory care section specifically. The facility and grounds are well kept. It is always clean and smells clean. Staff is great and there isn't much turnover. Lots of activities to keep them engaged. My mom has been there for a year and hasn't complained about anything. The only negative comment I have is one time they sent her out for medical care and they didn't let me know as the POA and I live out of state. They have some newer admin staff in the section and they now offer monthly feedback meetings with family members which is good. They seem interested in continuous improvement and not just the status quo.

Savor the Day

Dining is one of the great pleasures of living, especially when enjoyed in community. Breaking bread together offers far more than nutrition. It bonds us as family and friends. It is also the centerpiece of personal wellness, for through proper diet and healthy choices, food is a healing medicine unlike any other.

COMPANION LIVING

MorningStar offers Companion Living in all of our communities, where two unrelated people of the same sex share a suite, whether in independent living, assisted living or memory care.

Not only does this living arrangement enhance life by its camaraderie, it also extends savings.

REVERSE MORTGAGE

When one partner needs assisted living, and the other partner chooses to remain living in a private home, a reverse mortgage may be a good solution to help pay for increased expenses. Without affecting Medicare or Social Security benefits, reverse mortgages allow a homeowner to stay in the home and withdraw from the equity that the couple has built. Mortgage holders get tax-free cash flow as a loan against that equity, a loan that doesn’t need to be repaid until the house is sold or the owner moves out or dies.

Be sure to vet lenders and their terms thoroughly before making any decision. If you would like to be connected to a trusted, licensed reverse mortgage partner, call 888.228.4500.

SELLING THE HOME

The equity built up in a private home is typically a retiree’s largest asset, making the proceeds from selling extremely helpful when transitioning to a senior community. However, selling a home in a timely manner can be challenging and time-consuming. This is especially true when adult children are not living near to assist.

Many families find it helpful to work with a Real Estate Professional experienced with all aspects of selling a senior’s home. From packing and cleaning to listing and selling, ElderLife’s agents are ready to assist with the entire process to simplify a senior transition. To be connected with a local agent, call 888.228.4500.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Approach Social Security (SS) benefits tactically. Historically, it was wise to take SS benefits early and invest them. Today, that’s not necessarily so. Maximized benefits may best be found through delayed retirement credits. Depending on your birth year, benefits increase by 3-8% annually. If you wait until age 70 to collect, that monthly check could increase by 25% or more. And a surviving spouse receives the entirety of that benefit upon the worker’s death, making delayed retirement credits even more valuable. Study the new rules to choose your best course.

MEDICARE

Think of Medicare as health insurance for those 65 years and older, regardless of income. While Medicare never pays for assisted living, it is designed to help fund certain postacute expenses in the first 100 days, namely hospitalization and rehab, as long as the person’s health is improving.
Once you’ve plateaued, Medicare stops paying.

Benefits may be available for home health care, but only if certain conditions are met. Medicare Part A covers hospice (palliative care) for the actively dying, regardless of income, including in a senior living community. Click here for original source info.

In contrast, Medicaid is a federal government program that subsidizes the medical expenses (including certain health services and nursing home care) for low income people of all ages. MorningStar does not accept Medicaid. Click here for more information.

LEVERAGE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES

Whole life and universal life policies build a reserve of cash through interest-earning excess premiums (known as the policy’s “cash value”). In some situations, life insurance can be a source of ready funds through cash surrender, death benefit loans, accelerating death benefits, life (or viatical) settlements, or even selling the policy on the open market for immediate cash.

Before acting on any of these methods, consult a financial advisor, as there may be tax consequences. Life Care Funding can also help you determine whether a policy can be converted. Click Here

TAX BENEFITS

The IRS allows certain deductions on a federal tax return for the cost of housing and meals of those receiving long-term care in a senior community due to chronic illness or the inability to live alone.

Assisted living residents may qualify for these deductions if a physician certifies that they have been unable to perform at least two activities of daily living (such as eating, bathing or dressing) without assistance for at least 90 days. The same deductions can apply to those who require substantial supervision due to memory impairment.

An adult child paying for a parent’s care may also qualify for the tax deductions, if the child can claim the parent as a dependent. Consult a tax advisor for further information or visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Click Here.

LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE

Long-term care insurance helps pay for senior care and protect personal assets by covering expenses up to the amounts set forth in the policy. LTC insurance pays for a variety of services in senior communities, and can offer care options that may not be covered through the federal subsidies of Medicare and Medicaid (see below section).

LTC policies can be complex and it may be difficult to understand and activate your policy. If you have questions about your Long-term Care policy, call 888.228.4500 to be connected with an expert for a free policy review.

BRIDGE LOANS

It’s not uncommon for families to be short on funds when transitioning a loved one into a senior community. The ElderLife Bridge Loan allows you to pay for rent and care in the short term while waiting for other funds to come in. Common financial shortfalls include the time that it takes to list and sell a home, or the waiting period before receiving VA Benefits.

The Bridge Loan is designed like a line of credit, bridging the financial shortfall for up to 12 months. The loan is unsecured (no collateral needed) and approved quickly with no penalty for early payoff and affordable interest payments as low as $8 per $1000 borrowed.

To learn more about the ElderLife Bridge Loan, call 888.228.4500 or Click Here.
