Morning star memory care
It’s only been 3 months but I have a good feeling about the facility and know my mom is safe now and in good hands. My mom is content despite the memory loss and confusion with her dementia. They have lots of activities for them and the facility is kept up very nice. A family friend had been there in assisted living before she passed 4 years ago, and I always thought that is where I would want my mom if she ever needed assisted living. As it turned out, mom needed secure memory care and they had an opening. I didn’t check out any other facilities in person.

Morningstar Support
I am the primary caregiver for my sister. We moved my sister into Morningstar Independent Living about 15 months ago and now have made the difficult decision to move her to Assisted Living. As my sister's mobility, speech and cognitive abilities have declined, the Morningstar staff has shown compassion and increasing attention to her needs. They keep in touch with me and call my sister each day to check on her. I am most appreciative of the hand holding that the staff has given me to help assure my sister's transition to Assisted Living isn't too confusing and she's fully supported.

New leadership is cold and lacks compassion
My stepfather fell on [date removed].At the ER he was diagonsed with a bilateral strain and ambulatory. When he returned to the community he was sore and expresssed some pain and discomfort. Since there wasn't a nurse on duty I had to give him his first dose of Tylenol. He was not given another dose by MS staff until after 24+ hours after returning and now screaming out in pain. The evening staff left him in bed without meals. He was now lying in bed in pain, shaking uncontrollably, and is so weak he can not speak. I attempted to communicate with the nurse and ED. I was provided no reassurance on the steps that were being taken to ensure his wellbeing. When I finally became so frustrated I told the nurse I was going to report my experience to the state. Her only response to me was, "go ahead". We moved out on [date removed]. My stepfather was so weak he had to be transported by AMR. He will never regain the strength to use is walker again. This could have been avoided if the nurse paid attention.

Shannon, we are discouraged to read this review but commend you for being an advocate for your stepfather. While HIPAA prevents us from sharing specifics on a public forum, we are pleased to know that you spoke directly with our Chief Wellness Officer in the Home Office, talking through your full concerns and experiences. We were warmed by the kind of farewell your stepfather offered, thanking us for the relationships we built with him. Wishing your family the best!

We brought in Hospice to increase his care. He has dementia and does not attend many activities. We are fortunate to be able to afford the cost. That being said it is a nice safe place for him. We have had dad there one and a half years and have already witnessed approximately a 10 percent increase in normal costs. His care costs have increased because of the need the other increases I guess are just a sign of the times. Everything is getting more expensive.

Not worth the time or money
Signed my dad up to move into the assisted living part of this facility, specifically because my dad is starting to need more care than what I can provide. Had the care level evaluation by the nurse and was told I needed to get additional home healthcare in place before he could move in. Took my dad to him primary who eventually put in the referral even though he didn’t think my dad needed it. While waiting on home health, I moved my dad’s furniture in and prepared his apartment. Home health contacted the facility, because my dad does not have any condition that would qualify for home health. Communication from Morning Star after that was either non existent or terse. In the end they denied my dad admittance because the nurse disagreed with my dad’s PCP and home health. Now I have to move his furniture to a storage facility and start looking for a new facility.

Katie, we are so sorry that the circumstances related to your father’s pending move to MorningStar resulted in this level of frustration and inconvenience. We also apologize if you thought our communication and courtesies were in any way lacking. MorningStar wants always to be known for prioritizing relationships. Repect for your father’s privacy prevents from commenting on details, but we are eager to welcome him once his situation changes.  Thank you!

A good facility
They do have many social activities provided - but my dad does not participate in them. We were hoping he would be more social, but that has not come to. I realized that at a certain age once they are set in their ways, it is difficult to change them. Just moving to a new environment sometimes won't do it. Overall it has been a good experience for us, I'd absolutely recommend Morningstar Senior Living of Billings.

Very Caring Staff
My mom was in the early stages of dementia when my father passed away. We needed to get her into an assisted living facility. I visited several facilities and chose Morning Star Senior Living. After about a year, as her dementia worsened, we had to move her to the memory care unit. All the staff I came in contact with were just so kind and caring and kept me posted as to Moms condition. I felt Mom received wonderful care while in assisted living and then memory care. Any concerns were taken care of immediately. I never had to worry if Mom was being properly cared for.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Montana regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Montana regulations for Assisted Living.
