Morningside of Belmont

I moved my aunt into the this facility about 3 months and it has been a God send for our family. She always has thing to do and the are very involved with her care. I can not begin to say how impressed we are with this facility. I would defiantly recommend Morningside :)

Morningside of Belmont is a fairly nice facility. But it's very crowded. People are running down the lobby a lot. It looks like everybody's down the lobby in their wheelchairs and reading. There's just too many people for the space in the facility, and it was more crowded than a college dorm. So that was a turn off. The nice thing about them is that they are located in a good area.

I visited Morningside of Belmont to perform for the residents and I was pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the facility and the amount of activities that are available. They offer both independent living and assisted living residences, depending on the type of care that is needed. This facility is located in the heart of Hillsboro Village, which is a great area of Nashville. The building itself is very attractive, and the food is great. It seems to be designed for people who wish to stay active as long as possible, there is an exercise room as well as many scheduled activities. The residents seem quite content with the service and the level of assistance is customizable. There are several different floor plans available, some are perfect for couples while others are designed for single living. I was very impressed with Morningside of Belmont in Nashville, it looks like an ideal place to live.

Personally, I felt that the facility was run very well and took the opinions of those living there very seriously. When I first came up to the building there were chairs to sit all around outside. On the inside there was a lounge area and a backyard to sit around also. They had a room for "parties" which they try to do at least once a month, such as a "luah". The faculty seemed to be very caring and know everyones names. I thought that this was a nice personal touch. When some of the people living there wanted to go for walks, they would set up a time with a faculty member and go with. I think that this is extremely helpful because elderly should always be moving. The rooms were of good size and seemed to have everything they needed. They could even be slightly decorated to make them feel more "homey". The people living at the facility seemed to enjoy it as well and always had a smile on their faces.

It's a very clean place. The earliest age and up can basically have their own room. They don't have to share with anyone. All meals and snacks are included which is very nice.

Morningside is a beautiful community that really understands how to allow independence and being available for help if needed. The staff recognizes that aging is not a curse but a gift for them to learn from. The staff’s interaction with the residents is extremely positive. I observed a staff member giving the ultimate respect to her elder by just listening and hearing out her wishes. The staff member was never unkind or pushy even though the resident was being difficult. The staff here really is well trained and educated. The staff assesses the need and applies appropriate measures to help the resident. The social calendar here is amazing. There is something for everyone daily to keep them busy and engaged. The food appears to be well prepared and planned with healthy options. The facility is clean and well decorated the rooms and apartments are beautiful. I was impressed with this community and would place my loved one here.

My mother went to live at Morningside of Belmont about a year ago. I know many seniors resist going into an assisted living facility, but my mother was excited because she knew she would meet new people but still be independent. Since she moved in here, she is a different person. We joke that she has more of a social life than her kids! The facility has a great exercise program, and the food at the restaurant is really delicious. We also love that Belmont College is so close. My daughter attends school there, so it is easy for her to swing by and pick my mom up or visit with her. The caregivers are friendly and helpful, but they have never made mom feel like she couldn't do something on her own. She has diabetes, and they make sure she takes her insulin shots as she is supposed to. Overall, we couldn't be more happy with the quality of care she has received here. I would highly recommend Morningside of Belmont.
