Morada Temple

I toured Morada Temple. My tour was excellent. It was good. It's all-inclusive, and I was looking for something a little bit more independent. They have a lot of nice services. They showed me a two-bedroom, but it was a little bit smaller. And you have to go to the dining room to eat. They have placed right there onsite. They have a beauty salon and an activity center. They do other activities in the dining room. There's a lounge area with a fireplace. It's nice, but it's just I'm not ready to have them cook for me right now. The staff who took me around was very knowledgeable, very friendly and welcoming.

My mother in law loves her apartment, staff, and shuttle service. She is very unhappy with the quality and preparation of the meals. The food is very greasy and makes her ill. This is sad because the facility is clean, caring, and offers great activities. She has complained about the food, and so have many of the other residents. This should be addressed.

My wife and I live at Morada Temple. The food is a disaster here. I wouldn't feed it to my dog. We have two bedrooms and two baths, and a huge private backyard. We have a parking spot. We're a half a block to fast food and other things are real close, so all that's good. The weather has been like 100 for 90 days or something. I don't like the heat here. We're from Montana. The cost here is OK. It's around $5,000 for the two of us. We have an exercise area and a swimming pool. There's a doctor. We have a mailbox and mail is delivered right there. We have everything here except movies, but we have TVs. TV is not provided, it comes extra. They come in every Monday and clean and change the sheets and beds and towels. They'll take you to church and to the store. Everything is right here. The staff is intermittent because they have quite a few people coming and going. Every day you see somebody new. They have a very high turnover rate in the kitchen.

Mom lives in Morada Temple. We chose that place for her because all of the residents are extremely happy. They're pleasant and the staff is incredible and patient. They take the time to sit down and explain everything to you, making sure they understand the needs of your parents and that they can meet those needs. If they don't, they tell you, but they help you find it. They're wonderful. The facility is a little older, but everything's very clean, very tidy, and the apartment is great. There's lots of light. All of Mom's meals are made for her, so she goes to the dining room. She's also been taking part in activities, and before this, my mom would just stay in her room at her house. So, she's a lot more social now. She says the food has a lot to be desired, but it's edible. They have transportation. You just have to let them know 24 hours in advance and they'll take you and pick you up. Everything's included, like electricity and all of that, except for the Internet. You have to pay your own. This makes it so simple because mom is on a limited budget. They have crafts, card games, a pool where they do some aqua aerobics (if the residents want to), exercise classes, and a workout room. You name it, they pretty much have it. Everyone I have met, hands down, is wonderful. They are all about the residents. It's a great value for the money.

We will be moving into Morada Temple. They have a geriatrics clinic for seniors with a doctor that comes two days a week. And then they have a nurse and sometimes a nurse practitioner that are there Monday and Wednesday from 8 to 12. They serve three meals a day, which is good eating. They come in every week and change your bed linen. They wash the sheets and remake the bed for you. And then every two weeks, they come in and vacuum the carpet. We have two bedrooms with carpet, and that's all included in the price, so there are a lot of pluses, not just getting the rooms, which are nice apartments. Most of the apartments have balconies that you can go out on and sit on. They have a refrigerator with a top freezer and an icemaker, a full-sized electric stove with a big oven, a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, and a tremendously large closet for storing food and supplies. The staff was very efficient and patient. She was not trying to push something but allowed me to make my own choice and was happy to work with me. After discussing it with my wife, I called her and told her what I wanted. She said, "Well, I can meet you tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon, and we can take care of that,", which was a very friendly, non-pressure type of relationship. They've got a courtyard in between. They also have a nursing home and physical therapy. If, for one reason or another, a person is unable to stay in their room for some time, they have this other facility where they can go and be nursed back to better health. It's a good and very friendly community of people who live there.

My mom will be moving to Morada Temple because it had everything she needed and a few extras too. The staff that I met there were always very courteous and helpful, and they weren't pushy. I've tried the food, it's institutional, but they did a really good job. They even have a clinic on the premises and that's amazing. They have a salon, they do church services there, there's a lot of activities that people are involved in independently like bridge, putting together puzzles, and a lot of different things.
