Morningside Elite Management

This facility seems comfortable for those who need the extra care and attention. The lobby and ground floor areas were busy with residents watching TV and socializing. There was no unpleasant odor on the ground level, however when we exited the elevator to see a room, the smell was immediate and bad-the typical collection of unpleasant odors found in most nursing homes. I know Mom and Dad would not like this place because it is so much like a nursing home. Everyone I met was very nice and friendly and the facility appeared to be clean. They provide extensive services based on the residents' needs.

This could be an option possibly sooner rather than later. For my mother, certainly proximity to home was good, Blue Bell is where her home is and we're not too far from there. Proximity is good, it's a nice facility, it shows well anyway. The director there was very helpful and I've been in contact with Amanda and she's been very helpful and she stays in contact, she's been great. We were able to get my mother in on an impromptu tour. I think it's relatively new and one of the keys was their ability to accept pets.

They have 24 hour nursing, when you bring medication it's scanned in and when they pull it out to administer it they scan it again so they know when and what they gave. They were very upfront and said they don't remind you about refills and when they had 5 days left they would fill it through them but at least they were upfront with us. At least at this pint it seems that they have very good procedures and someone comes through their company to check in instead fo waiting for the state to check in. They've been very specific and upfront, they have more adult activities that appear to be much more age appropriate. I'm sure there will be things that will come up but as long as their minor and nothing serious it will be fine

Origianlly it was planned that my mom was going to have a double room which was going to be cheaper but when I got her there they didn't have that room anymore and she had to go in a room by herself so it was more expensive. The marketing director was very, very friendly. Everybody there seemed to be very nice. There was a little bit of confusion with the medication. I was gone for 5 weeks so I gave them a 2 month's supply of everything. After 3 weeks I get a call saying their out. It turns out they had it so that was fine but when I got home I recieved a bill from omnicare for prescriptions. I called the head nurse and left 8 messages and never heard back. I finally called the director a few days ago and I'm still waiting to hear back from him.

Very Helpful Staff, apartments are being updated- Nice dining area and common areas- extra Care giver cost depending on level of care- No on site 'Nursing Care'

Lovely. 1 shared bath and 1 private.

Saw the Sunrise on rt. 202 and loved it. Great posibility

Nice rooms/facility. Good rehab room. Does not use universal staffing. Rather low resident to caregiver ratio.

I really like the close proximity to Target (almost across the street). I liked the walking paths that were on the property.

We were very impressed

Nice facility. Staff was friendly. The dementia unit is located on two separate floors. The second floor does not offer an outdoor space. However the first floor does. Facility not as bright and cheerful as some of the others.

Would only use this as a back-up to Sunrise of Westtown if we would need care for Dad in 2011 and Westtown does not have space.

Very nice place. Has 2 dementia wings, 1 for mid stage and 1 for late stage. Cost is high but they accept medicaide waiver.

Nice, has a one time fee which mom doesn't like.

The facility was very nice and staff were wonderful people. I just wish they were a little more honest about how little care someone in his situation (highest level of care) would receive. I found out after putting there that I would have needed to hire extra care to come in to take him to do things as he wasn't really capable on his own. For some people with much lower care needs it would likely be fine. Food was really good.

Morningside House was significantly cheaper among the options that we looked into. They gave me confidence that they would be able to take care of her. The administrative staff are very responsive if we have any questions or concerns. I am impressed with the care, but less so with them keeping me in the loop on medical side of things. Overall I would recommend to others looking.

it is strictly assisted living. I did not need it at the time, only for the first month. I am ambulatory, and residents here were mostly in walkers or wheelchairs and needed more assistance than I did. They had no variety or choice of food. You get what you get. The move in price was hefty. I do think that they were overly restrictive. I was here 6 months and confined to my room for 5 of those. The apartments here are very small. If I were in need of assisted living, I think my experience would have been different.

One week in for my mom. The food is good, the number of residents seems very manageable. The staff so far has been cooperative. Residents seem at least comfortable and some are very friendly. Will follow up later when more time has passed.

Cleanliness good. Front office/front desk very good. Physical/occupational therapists excellent. As with any facility, the staff are hit or miss. Some are good, caring people. Others are lazy, rude, paycheck-collectors that don't give a rat's posterior about anything or anyone other than themselves. I don't know about the staff int he main areas (non-memory), but in the 3rd floor memory unit, 75% of the staff seemed to be very indifferent about everything. Two elevators; one has been broken for the entire 3 months my aunt was there (she recently passed from her stage 4 cancer). There is supposedly a large bathing room with a jaczuzzi bath, but it has apparently been broken for months or years. Most of the staff didn't even know it existed or where it was. She was in the memory unit due to chronically removing her clothing. But her mind was still 90% there. She claimed that the food served int he memory unit was VERY different from the food in the main dining room. During the day and evening, front desk was staffed. Late at night, like 10-11pm, sometimes upon returning from the ER, we would have to ring the bell and pound on the door for 10-15 minutes to get into the building. Cost was cheaper than some assisted living facilities, more than others. Middle of the road.
