MorningStar Senior Living of Idaho Falls

We had an in-person tour at MorningStar Senior Living of Idaho Falls. They talked to us and we got to look around the facility. It's very nice. We liked it. The employees were very nice. I had the food there before because my father-in-law lives there and the food was good. The dining area was very nice. They have updated everything in there. Everything is brand new. The rooms were very nice. They have a beauty salon, they have activities for their residents, and they also take their residents to doctors' appointments. They do a good job with the upkeep and maintenance.

MorningStar Senior Living of Idaho Falls is the same as all the others. They have a lot of activities for the seniors. They have a beautiful facility and staff members who are ready to help them. They have multiple rooms of different sizes.

My mom will be moving into MorningStar Senior Living of Idaho Falls. We like how it was laid out, how the rooms were laid out, and the way the banquet hall was available, any time of the day for food. The personnel who gave the tour was excellent and super friendly, showed us the accommodations and all that. The rooms were very nice, they look comfortable. Everything looked in order and the dining area looked very nice. They were playing some card games and doing some things outside. I didn't find anything wrong at all, honestly.

I moved into MorningStar Senior Living of Idaho Falls. It's nice and clean. The people are good, and I like all the staff. We go down to the dining room and the food wasn't very good when I first moved in, but it's better now. They provide all kinds of things to do. I've been sick, so I haven't participated too much in their activities, but they're fun. The ones I've been to have been nice. I think it's expensive, but I guess they all are. I've checked around on prices and they're all about the same.

I like Suzanne, who manages Morningstar Senior Living of Idaho Falls now; she took the time with me and showed me around. The least I like about it is that it doesn't furnish a washer and dryer. The visit was great and she was very nice. The building is new so it's nice. Another place has written into their contracts that if you fall or something happens to you, instead of calling for an ambulance and taking you to the hospital, they have a registered nurse on staff and several aides on staff to take care of you. Unless you have to go to the hospital, and Morningstar does not have that.

The Reflections overall is a great place for your loved one. Nicole, the manager, strives to provide excellent care and communicates well. Melanie, the main nurse, is so very sweet and caring. ♥️Some of the caregivers like Elisia, Joe, Barbara were soooo good to my mom. Some were not the best communicators and it was just a job to them. Sad. As a CNA, I look for people who go above and beyond as that’s what truly sets them apart, AND fulfills Morningstar’s mission of honoring God ♥️ Thank you to the many who loved my mom and went above and beyond. My mom went peacefully in her sleep to her permanent home in heaven with her savior, Jesus, and I am so thankful for hospice care and the last 2 days of her life that I was there. The staff really helped during a difficult time😔🥰

The aids do a great job. Management is poor. Food is bad. I would not recommend the place.

My mother has had the opportunity at staying at several assisted and skilled nursing facilities in the greater Idaho Falls area. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that morning star is by far the very best Idaho Falls has to offer. Their facility understands the importance of having enough staff on duty to provide great service to their residents. When my mom stayed there she was always treated well and never seem to have to wait very long to get assistance with anything. Also the food there is very good period one of their competitors might have a little bit better quality of food but I have eaten at both places in find them both comparable. My mom always appreciated the fact that they had a choice of different soups everyday and offered a dessert with every meal. She was allowed to use her power chair as needed whereas other facilities have not been as accommodating. There's a wide variety of activities in there is a shuttle to take people to where they need to go. She stayed at another facility which is similar and it was always difficult to get the shuttle scheduled for any kind of shopping excursions doctor's visits excetera. I would recommend this place to anyone assuming they will accommodate their level of care. Their staff is well organized and prepared. This is the best assisted care facility hands down.

MorningStar was the perfect transition for my mother. She always wanted to keep her independence. The MorningStar independent living offered her that. The room was beautiful and so unlike what I thought assisted living would be like. The other alternative felt to me like a hotel, while MorningStar felt like an apartment. MorningStar also had a bar in mom's kitchen, unlike the other place. Had my mother needed to move a table into her apartment at the other place it would have left insufficient room in her remaining living space. The Staff at MorningStar are personable, and really cared for my mother.

My mother is in Morningstar. It is very good, clean, and very homey. They have an outside area for gardens. They have game rooms and a library. They show movies. They have someone come in and do their hair if they want. They have a shuttle that takes them to a couple of stores and to their doctors' appointments. They have ice cream socials and church services. We are very satisfied. They are very good, and they check on her.

We visited Morningstar. I liked it. I think it was nice. It’s more independent than senior living and actual assisted living. They didn’t have an available room at that time and it was more expensive. It was clean, nice, and fairly spacious. The people who I met seemed nice. They were very helpful. I think he would be okay there.

The facility seems nice and clean. It has lots of activities for the residents and a shuttle to go around town. The kitchen staff really seems to care about the residents and my grandparents and gives them special things that they like to eat. When we went there, our kids loved playing with the pool table and shuffleboard in the common areas. Even going for a walk in the facility was pleasant.
