Indie Bug
Beautiful building, good food, great maintenance staff. Otherwise, staff is overworked and management creates an environment of blame and caregiver in-fighting. My mom was in MC, left wet all day, no activities, even TV was turned off because director didn't want it to be "babysitting"; but, nothing else was provided, so residents sat in a circle staring at each other. Management supported "favorite" staff and made even advocating for family member uncomfortable. Glad we're out. With regard to your response, this was not us. Clearly, other families have experienced the same thing.
Debbie Bostak
Excellent and responsive management, caring staff, good food, beautiful and clean facility, and enriching activities. The care our family member has received has been personal and warm; we are so grateful to all the staff there. Highly recommend Morningstar Senior Living.

Staff was nice and respectful of my client who is a resident in MC at MS on Horsetooth Rd. The facility was clean. The kitchen staff cleaned the dining area very nice and quick.
