MorningStar Senior Living

What stood out the most - The staff is very friendly. Good activities. The meals are very good.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we arrived to check in they met us at the door and made introductions to staff and residents who were there. They were very responsive to our questions and concerns. The first evening we were there we had several family members who came down to visit and they were very accommodating. They made an effort to get my wife involved in activities. The facilities were well maintained and clean. The food options were great. Overall we were very pleased with our experience there.

Caring and compassionate staff. I have been and experienced only high quality care of residents. My friend fell when trying to sit down in his apartment, within a minute or two a staff member came to the room to check on his fall and ensure he was not injured or in need of help.

My step father was only there for a short time before he passed away. The staff was excellent and made his passing very easy for everyone. They took very good care of him. When the coroner took him out the door, the staff was lined up against the wall of the exit to say good bye. It looked like everyone who wasn't busy was there to pay respect. I will never forget that and will always be a cherished memory.

Staff was very accommodating when you brought up issues. They were very supportive through in home hospice care. They had great afternoon music and happy hours. Crafts were hit or miss due to transition in staff. Leadership knew and cared about the residents. This place was the most reasonable for someone near end of life who needed more assistance but not skilled care.

I would give a 5 across the board. They were wonderful! What I like most about the community is The staff were wonderful. They took excellent care of my dad. He was very happy there.

It was a very professional and nice place, was glad to have my mother there. Would recommend to any family, enjoyed all staff.

Very attentive, very nice people and genuine. Great amenities very nice rooms. The size is average.

The facility is very good with attention paid to safety and security. Apartments are roomy and common areas are well thought out. The staff is excellent. Team leadership is solid across the board and the staff clearly takes time and makes effort to get to know the residents.

When it comes to MorningStar of Boise we would give them all 5s. It is a great caring place and yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I left a message for my initial inquiry and was called back right away - a positive. The phone call started first by inquiring about my mom’s interests and needs . It was a very informative conversation and I learned Morning Star is a Christian community, which I did not know, another positive. There was a welcome sign for us when we arrived for our visit-another positive. A huge positive was there was a room available right away. Everyone, staff and nurses, are always welcoming, kind and attentive, making sure to call my mom by name. Family and friends are able to visit anytime and/or join her for meals. My mom has engaged herself in the afternoon activities and there is a wide option of balanced meals for her to choose from. As her daughter, my brother and I rest easier knowing our mom is being well cared for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as she needs it.

Based on my experience (and I'm discussing the memory care unit) it is a wonderful place. The staff are all competent and extremely caring. I believe there are only 13-14 spots in memory care so the ratio of staff to residents is fantastic. I believe they are going above and beyond.

All 5. It has been a great place for my mom. It is nice to have different levels of care in one facility. Nice sized rooms. My mom has a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom she kept after my dad passed.

When we first got there we needed more things explained. How does the schedule work for activities. How does the menu work. If my dad didn't come out of his room does someone check on him. How does maintenance work and what do they assist with? The food had also changed the menu offered more hot cooked meals than they do now.

The staff has been very friendly and engaging with the residents to encourage them to participate in the activities. The kitchen staff does their best to accommodate any dietary needs and preferences. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. Facility is small enough for residents to learn their way around but large enough to offer many activities.

All the staff are very attentative! The servers in the dining room knew my name the 1st time I showed up. The menu has great variety, food is beautifully presented and the memory of some meals have me longing for the next time! Housekeeping does an excellent job. Assisted Living staff are very caring, attentative and have a great sense of humor. List of activities is great. There is help available for everything from TV to notary republic. Visiting doctors are available. Its wonderful ths level of support available. I rate them 100 stars! [dare removed] resident

My mom is extremely happy at Morningstar. Several reasons, really. She said that, compared to her former residence , the people at Morningstar are very friendly. She feels welcome and included in all facets. The staff and residents are all welcoming. She also enjoys having three meals a day in the dining area. That wasn't the case where she was. I'm glad she's forced out of her room to have a meal as well as she can tend to stay to herself, so that's better. She loves the once a week housekeeping, although she's a neat freak. Lastly, the affordability of Morningstar is a factor. I couldn't be happier with Morningstar.

The experience has been fantastic every step of the way, and she's extremely happy living there. Staff and other residents go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and secure.

The facility is super clean and doesn't smell like some of the others do. It's quiet and the other residents greeted my dad immediately. We would absolutely recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far. Best independent living in Idaho Falls

I think I would give a 5 rating for each of the categories. Very pleased with the facility. My father is in the facility, he is rather picky about food. He says the food is good and likes the menu. He has participated in some exercise classes and enjoys talking with other people during meals. He has only been there for about 6 weeks now but he is hoping my mother will be joining him soon. The staff has shown him kindness, patience and respect. It was not an easy transition for him.
