MorningStar Senior Living of Avondale

Carol

We went to look at this facility. I liked that the rooms came with a little kitchenette because I think that gives them a little more independence. The lady who was working with us was very informative and worked with us as far as details of financing and all that stuff. She also took us around the whole property to kind of show us what a typical day would be like. She was very professional and helpful. They had a nice dining room with a menu that had good choices on it. They had a little movie theater and other rooms for activities, which was nice. The facility was very clean.

It was very open. They're trying to incorporate the memory care side with the assisted living side to make them feel more included in the program. It was a very nice place. It's got a very impressive entryway when you come in. The front desk was very nice. The dining area was very clean as well. The rooms were very comfortable. It didn't look like a hospital room or anything like that. The lady that took me was very resourceful. She gave us good information and gave us a brief tour of the facility. She was very helpful and very understanding of our situation. The facilities were very accessible and very nice. They have a beauty parlor/barbershop, which is very convenient for the residents, and a garden patio at the back where they are welcome to communicate and enjoy themselves outdoors.

It was very clean. It looked like they had the staffing needed to provide care for my sister. They are very helpful with their whole program of what they do inside that care. The other people that were there seemed clean and amicable. I really considered taking my sister there. The rooms were very clean and roomy. There was a TV in each one of the rooms. My sister would have been in a shared room, which looked very accommodating. They had a large kitchen and a seated dining table that was like a big family room. There were two or three people watching TV. There was a patio in the backyard, but nobody was out there. They answered all my questions and my concerns.

It was great. It was nice and clean. The staff was friendly. We got our questions answered. The apartments were nice. The staff was very informative and very pleasant. The dining area looked nice. He showed us the theater room, where their pool table is. He showed us their workout room, but nothing was happening. It seems like they have enough amenities for somebody who wanted to participate in things. They had a nice outdoor space, and it's big. I didn't have any issues with it at all. I thought one of the rooms would be far from my mother, but that's just one person. For others, it's probably just fantastic.

Chell

It was beautiful. The rooms were nice and it was very clean and very welcoming. The staff was amazing and they knew their residents by name, which was nice, like, during the tour, the person who was giving us the tour was talking to everybody who walked by and they knew their names. It just seemed very friendly. The rooms had a kitchenette. What I didn't like is that the rooms were carpeted, like the kitchen is carpeted, I thought it was kind of strange, and the rooms were small. The closet was very small, but we only toured a one-bedroom. It's brand new. The facility is only a few years old, so it was nice, but the rooms were small. The dining area was very large and very nice. There were a lot of the residents in the courtyard with their pets, which was nice to see. There was an arts and crafts room and there were people in there doing arts and crafts. They had special events for veterans, which was very nice. They had a lot of veterans in that facility and we got to meet some of them. There was a pool table, and there were a couple of people playing pool. It seemed very active.

My dad moved into this facility. I like that they provide three meals a day. There's no restrictions on time. He can eat and go freely whenever he wants to. They have activities that he's been a part of. It's very clean and spacious. They've been great to come in and do his housekeeping as well. I know that they have a gym. They have a crafts room. They do something like a men's night once a month. Last week, I know he was a part of something where they had someone come out and have music. He was singing, and all the residents were there enjoying themselves just listening to the music. The staff is super friendly. They know who I am. They know who my dad is, and they call him by name.
