My great aunt has been living at MorningStar, and I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand the difference Myra, the Memory Care Director, makes. She is incredibly observant, notices the small things about each resident, and makes sure the care staff are attentive to those details. The team follows through, communicates well, and provides compassionate care that gives our family peace of mind. My family and I truly appreciate the professionalism and consistency that Myra and the staff bring every day. ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
