Mom made friends!

Great community experience. She went from isolated at home to having a great group of friends that eat and go on outings together.

Review for MorningStar of Boise

Actually the staff at Morning Star has been wonderful. We had to move Mom from Independent Care to Assisted Living. They were so helpful and her new apartment is so nice and homey. We all love it. Not all meals are bad. I know it's hard cooking for that many people. Their special dinners are awesome.

Pure happiness!

My Mom LOVES it. The staff is excellent. She feels like she is at home with family. She loves all of the food and activities. She is never bored or alone unless she chooses to be alone. Thank you for the recommendation. We are very blessed to have found Morningstar for her. Thank you!

Beautiful new home for mom

We were impressed as soon as we walked thru the doors of Morning Star. We had an interview with [name removed] set up by A Place for mom. She was very kind and pleasant. She took us on a tour of the facility and were able to see a 2 bedroom room since that was what we were looking for. We were invited back to bring my mom and her husband for Easter Brunch which was a nice introduction for them to see the facility, they were taken on a tour as well. [name removed] arranged for mom And her husband to visit an existing couple with the same floor plan. My parents were impressed with the people we met, the food, the theater, the salon, the entertainment that was scheduled in the monthly calendar. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I personally liked the safety features of morning Star, they have a button in their apartment they push in the morning to notify the staff they are up and accounted for. They have a daily event list outside their door. I can’t say enough about [name removed] help and guidance.

The overall experience of assisting my father with the selection and move to MorningStar has been outstanding. Everything is top notch - from the moment you enter the facility with welcoming staff, the meals and dining experience, the Father's Day bbq was amazing and his apartment is great!

Top class facility

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.

Feels like family, caring, friendly and safe.

This is a very nice place to be. There are residents that have been here 10 years and one person, 16 years and still enjoy it. Staff is very accommodating. We residents, say hello to other residents. I'm new here and you get assigned an ambassador to help your find your way and answer questions. A lot of activity with new residents moving in, and makes it difficult to get something taken care of by maintenance, but they keep you informed. Lots of off-site activities to choose from. Restaurants, trips to grocery stores, museums, etc.

Review for MorningStar of Boise

Mom has been very unhappy with the food as well as many other residents. I have eaten here several times and I agree. Half the time you can't pronounce what you are eating. The residents say can you just fix normal food. Sometimes food is cold or they are out of what you order. The other day I was gearing up when one of the residents asked for another little bowl of peaches as she couldn't eat what they were serving and they said no we have rules. I was shocked! She said I pay [amount removed] to live here couldn't I just have a few more peaches I'm hungry and he said they have rules. The front desk is very sweet but not kept informed as to what's going on. Lots if times activities are canceled and no one knows until they get to activity room. Most if the waiters are kind and housekeeping is awesome.

Updating WIFI and TV access would make MS ideal

Activity=TV/WIFi is poor. Issue is with CO headquarters and not local in Boise. Boise facility was honored as No 1 in large category by MS management. Room sizes are adequate. Activities are plentiful and diverse. My WIFI/TV comments were assigned to this category by default.

No Dietary Accommodations

If there is a dietary problem ( sodium or dairy intolerance) you will have to navigate it yourself- most meals are planned for no dietary problem. Probably that way for most facilities if this type. No dietary accommodations- although the monthly rental fee includes meals - (since PERHAPS 1 meal a day would be a lucky week for me) I must prepare and pay costs of any food I eat. No provision is given to ONLY pay for meals you actually eat - so you must pay for each meal AND in addition purchase your food needs yourself . Seems to me there should be a choice or credit, but there is not. Food is provided and you pay whether or not it is within your physical restrictions. Coming into a place you THINK you have all concerns addressed, but the food at meals and paying whether you eat them or not was NOT something I even thought about.

Review for MorningStar of Boise

When I took my mom there, she decided. Also, it was SO much nicer than the other places I visited. She said, "Everyone is smiling!" My parents like it there. They are responsive when we have questions or concerns.

We love Mom's new home....

They are all 5. We have had some problems with the phone and TV but they are aware of them and working on fixing them. MorningStar is a beautiful place and everyone is very nice and friendly. Mom is getting settled and enjoying all of the things available for them. The food is good and bad according to her but she can be kind of picky. Mostly she says it's very good. We think we made a good choice with Morning Star.

Morningstar of Boise Review

Transportation to medical appointments is very good. MorningStar offers "bus" (actually a van w/wheelchair accommodation) trips for groceries (Walmart, Fred Meyer's every week; WinCo, Trader Joe's, Albertsons once a month), general shopping (Towne Square Mall, Kohl's, thrift stores, etc.), lunches and dinners out (you pay), Meridian symphony concerts, plus other places and activities for which there is enough interest. The Life Enrichment staff (3 full-time people) are very active. There are exercise classes in the fitness room; however, gym equipment is pretty limited. Movies are shown every day, usually twice a day. There is live entertainment, often music, two or three times a week.

Our family's experience

Lots of opportunities to get involved, residents are out & about all day vs being in their rooms, and the facilities are clean, updated & have an overall good vibe.

Overall lovely place

One of the things that stands out is residents seem quite happy, and employees as well. Room for improvements - Clean the hallway carpets more often. And, spray off the front sitting/patio area with a hose or power washer. This feedback is anonymous, correct? I would definitely recommend Morning Star!! Overall, it is a lovely place.

Lovely staff, overall good experience

There were a few instances where the cleaners weren't changing the sheets each week like they say they do. And I'm really not happy that they discontinued the laundry service for the independent side. The quality of the food is excellent, but service can be very slow some days. Faculty and staff have all been very friendly and helpful
