Our experience
What we like the most about the community is that their staff are pleasant, caring and loving. However, the meals are lacking in interest and flavor. Yes, I recommend MorningStar at Bear Creek, but it's expensive.

First rate facility that offers compassionate care. Food is excellent. Staff is very helpful and would highly recommend to those needing memory care. Great views outside and management has been very helpful. Services in house are convenient, very satisfied with their attention to detail.

Hands down best layout for memory care for resident freedom of movement and interaction. I would recommend them to others who are searching for memory care for their loved one. Overall staff is friendly and caring and open to working with family to assure transition of both resident and family is smooth during a challenging time.

I looked at several and MSBC ranked the highest and still does. Most places struggle with keeping good employees, probably due to low salaries and long hours. Care for individuals with memory issues is wearing and frustrating. Morningstar suffers from this same issue. Weekend care is never as good as weekday care, due to lack of adequate staff. MSBC has several dedicated and qualified staff, but always needs more.

My loved one is currently a resident at MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek and overall everything has been great for her at this facility so far. Since the move in process is naturally a difficult and emotional one, there were a few issues with my loved one. Each one of them was addressed immediately and appropriately by the MorningStar staff. They are very respectful and caring. I would recommend MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek to anyone.

MorningStar Memory Care is a relatively small community, so everyone knows everyone. The food is excellent. They routinely go on interesting outings. Staff is friendly and personable, while remaining very professional

Sadly, mom passed away under Hospice care at the facility after just 3 months of residing at Morningstar with complications from Alzheimer's. The admin and staff were amazing. We had numerous concerns with the outside medical provider that they used, but I believe they contract with someone else now. I would recommend the MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek. It's a beautiful facility set up specifically for memory care.

The staff was very attentive to each person there. It was very clean, the food was good, the atmosphere was very nice and peaceful for visitors as well. The personal attention they give each resident is incredible. We were very lucky to have found a place like this for my Dad. When he was passing, staff came by to say goodbye.

We were so excited about Bear Creek being the best place for my dad but a few weeks into his stay, his care went downhill. Those who we came in contact with were wonderful. When my mom visited once a week, SHE would have to help my dad get shaved, showered, hair combed, figure out which towels, clothes were clean or dirty. Never ate with him so don't really know. We were told when we signed paperwork that residents were always busy. NOPE! They only had one activities director out 3 positions. That activities director rarely did anything with residents. DEFINITELY not worth the outrageous cost. We moved my dad from Bear Creek after only 2 months

It was a beautiful facility. They kept mom clean and cared for. Nice activities. Trouble with medication administration though. HUGE issue.

My father was there recently and the staff turnover is abysmal. They cannot seem to keep staff more than a few months. It takes such special people to work with these clients, and they should be paid accordingly . The management is not friendly and is ugly to staff, which probably does not help. I would talk to staff about whether they like working somewhere before placing a loved one in any facility.

The services that they provide here are great. There is someone in her room checking in on her every 45 minutes and they are on top of any health concerns. The staff have been absolutely wonderful and have made me feel comfortable having my loved one here. The facility is strictly memory care based which has been super helpful. I would recommend MorningStar to others looking.

No facility is perfect -- especially in these trying times -- but Morningstar's executive director, [name removed], is a truly kind and caring man. When my father developed COVID, [name removed] immediately implemented a compassionate care exception to the standard isolation protocol so my mother and I were able to visit him regularly before he passed. He showed genuine personal concern for us throughout this difficult experience and in the immediate aftermath. The institution works generally well with Bristol Hospice and Brookdale Home Health Care, which attended my father. They also made a fuss over what turned out to be his last birthday, with his favorite German chocolate cake and a movie. "Happy" is a relative concept for people who wind up in these residences, but my father was certainly happier here, and more engaged, than at a previous, larger facility, and Morningstar was a much more aesthetically pleasing place to visit.

We chose MorningStar Memory Care at Bear Creek because they were the closest to where I lived and they came with a high rating. They were very good with communication, they had a newsletter to keep families updated and were responsive and always tried to keep us connected with my loved one. I thought they were way overwhelmed with our needs and they did not keep very good control of laundry, some things were missing. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

This was a nice tour for care. The staff were nice and friendly and seems to be able to answer the questions I had on the care needed for my mom. I liked the cleanliness and the menu that was appealing. I would recommend this community to other families for the care that is offered.
