I liked this very much, but...
reviewed on: 02/14/2014 by AnonymousI liked this very much, but with reservations. Memory care is very nice, but as of the moment, having JUST opened, very empty. Assisted care is unlicensed, which may be okay. Surroundings are a bit dated, but love the staff, who seem very dedicated. The manager called after my visit to connect, saying that she'd known Dad when she was in banking, and to tell me that there is a culture of art there, and one Hoosier Salon Artist.
Porch on every room

Be Prepared to Be Your Loved One's Advocate!
reviewed on: 06/02/2016 by JacquelynMy father has been a resident on the memory care unit for a month now. We are pleased with the placement and he is happy and involved in the activities. The first few weeks were difficult as it wasn't clear what the expectations were for his care. Family members often found him unshaven, with missing shoes, teeth not brushed and his room in disarray. During his second week he had a fall and was found in his bed with bruising (but luckily no fracture). We have had conference calls with the administration and staff and found them to be very responsive and not defensive. On their last visit, family members found Dad clean shaven, with shoes on (which will hopefully reduce risk of more falls) and happily engaging in activities. It really is important to visit often and share feedback and concerns, especially for loved ones with dementia.
Perfect for our needs!
reviewed on: 01/13/2014 by Meridith AMorningSide has been a wonderful place for my parents. After much shopping around, It's the only place where they could get 3 meals a day (food is good, with plenty of variety), "assistance" could come to their apartment (instead of someone moving to a separate assisted living bldg.), full kitchen (that doesn't compete with living room space) lots of closet/storage space in the apartment (as well as a storage unit in the basement), and the activities calendar is beyond compare. The best thing about it is the care and concern that the staff has for the residents. They truly care and you can tell. I know my folks are safe there and reaction time to falls (they've had a couple) has been within 3 minutes - usually 30 seconds. Once, after my mother fell and hit her head, we got back from the ER and the CNAs were knocking at the door to see how she was before we had a chance to take our coats off. They wanted to know if would we like to have them check on her every hour through the night to make sure she's okay. Apparently, that's their policy for everyone for the 1st night back from a hospital visit - no charge. Of course I said "YES!". What peace of mind that gave me! I've recommended Morningside to others, and will continue to do so. Call Marty Peters and make an appointment for a tour!
