MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena

Run dont walk to MorningStar. I cannot gush enough about the level of care my 90 year old mother is receiving just two weeks in, having moved from living alone in a house in NY. Everyone knows her name and she already has several friends. She loves the activities, the food is so good she fears she will gain weight. She wont let me schedule doctors appointments on certain days because of the activity calendar. The staff could mot be friendlier. Jasmin and Dimetris in Community Relations held our hands from the very beginning through her arrival making the process a pleasure. We love Morningstar for the care and kindness they are showing. The place is a home run.

We had had an amazing experience moving our mother to assisted-living at MorningStar. It was a big move and transition but the MorningStar staff is responsive and super helpful. The facility itself is beautiful. Highly recommended.

This is my observations as a visitor of Reflections Neighborhood (second floor memory care) when I visit a friend. I find the care staff friendly and organized about their tasks. They work as a team to move and attend to the residents who are less mobile or in wheelchairs. The living room and the activity room are clean and serene. Decor and paintings are changed for occasions. Daily activities include morning reads of historic tidbits, chair exercise, rest time before lunch or living room viewing of online nature programs. After lunch activities I have seen are rest time, singing olde time songs with a musician, bingo, art painting or craft, trivia pursuits. Highly professional musical performances are planned around holidays on the first floor for all Morningstar residents and seats are saved for the Reflections Neighborhood residents if they wish to attend with care staff. Residents are reminded and encouraged by staff to participate in all activities. Care staff are patient and understanding. The activities director, Yolanda, is always upbeat, cheerful, full of energy. The 3 course meals served in the dining room are well presented and in portions appropriate for a healthy diet. Residents get to choose between two entrees. Meal times are peaceful and efficient. My overall feeling about Morningstar when I visit, is that my friend is in a caring, safe, elegant, serene home.

After touring several assisted living communities in the Glendale/Pasadena/Burbank area, we settled on Morningstar as the best location for our elderly relative. Such a move is an emotionally tough time for families, and the staff at Morningstar were extremely helpful in getting us through this transition. Dimetris, Jasmin, Rhonda, Norma, Mariah, and the rest of the staff are an impressive, caring crew. Many thanks!
