MorningStar of Billings

Morninstar of Billings is a place where life is good. This is a home located in a friendly neighborhood. Many people love living in Billings with the amount of activities to participate in right outside your back door. Shopping and many other amenities are only minutes away from this home. Senior living does not have to be boring, and we understand that senior care can be very unique. Many seniors have specific needs that should be addressed on an individual basis. The amount of assistance that an elderly resident will receive will be decided by the team and the person. Some seniors may desire more care, while others may want to have as much independent living as possible. All of our meals are prepared completely from scratch. All meals are made by a trained chef with seasonal ingredients used throughout the seasons. Many people choose our home because of the delicious meals that are served each day, and this is included with your care plan. This is assisted living where an active senior can stay on the go. When you compare the transportation options we offer compared to others, you will find that this can be the perfect fit for...

great memory care

My comments relate to the memory care section specifically. The facility and grounds are well kept. It is always clean and smells clean. Staff is great and there isn't much turnover. Lots of activities to keep them engaged. My mom has been there for a year and hasn't complained about anything. The only negative comment I have is one time they sent her out for medical care and they didn't let me know as the POA and I live out of state. They have some newer admin staff in the section and they now offer monthly feedback meetings with family members which is good. They seem interested in continuous improvement and not just the status quo.

MorningStar of Billings review

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.

Great place for mom

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.

Mother's care

My mother in law lived out her remaining life enjoying the time spent at MorningStar. She enjoyed the community lifestyle and friendships that we're formed there. In the last 10 months of her life she had the constant care of those who worked there and Hospice. She enjoyed the workers and loved asking where they were from.

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.

Positive experience

This was a major move for me but staff has been very helpful and other residents are friendly and welcoming. The estate is beautiful, grounds maintained to perfection. Lots of lovely walking areas. Various helpers I have hired tell me this is their favorite senior living place to work

would recommend

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.

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.

Really amazing place

Very very very impressed with Morningstar and it’s staff. [name removed] is an absolutely amazing man. His knowledge and compassion was incredible. He’s been a lifesaver during a very tough time for our family. I can’t say enough great things about this place.

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.

Large facility. Nicely appointed, residents seemed happy. [Name removed] gave us a very thorough tour and answered all our questions. Units were good sized, bathrooms large. Large staff and new residents get an escort for two weeks. Residents urged to participate in activities and socialize. Three meals, laundry and all utilities included, even phone.
