Morningside of Concord

Over a span of 7+ years, two of my family members were residents of Morningside. Once they moved into Morningside of Concord, their contentment with their advanced age improved and they each found a new purpose for their lives. The quality of care, the professionalism and competence, and the love and compassion extended by members of the staff and administration were exemplary. Their focus and their purpose that day were to take the best care they could of my family member. By doing that, they were there for me too and gave me the gift of time. The team at Morningside of Concord is awash with angels…from the top down and from the bottom up…any way you wish to look at it. It was evident the very first time and any time I made a phone call to Morningside of Concord and the receptionist answered. It was apparent when I walked through the door; it was always clean. Whether it is dietary or housekeeping or maintenance or nursing or daily activities or administration or laundry service…they are all excellent. It was a delight for my family members to live with them. It was a delight for me to visit.

I have visited Morningside of Concord many times and It is always very clean. It does not smell like some places I have visited. I have eaten lunch there several times and found the food to be very good. Unlike some places I have visited, you have a choice between two entrees and can choose from several different sides. I have gotten to know some of the staff and many of them have been there for many years. The people I visit love Morningside and consider it to be their home. I would recommend Moningside to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

"Food is lacking, few choices & meal times aren't accomadating. No nurse supervision & management always absent."

I was very impressed with Morningside of Concord, but they were just beyond our price range. I like that it's a large facility. The people that I met were very professional and able to answer the questions I asked. They also appeared to have very good rooms for the residents' families to hang out in if they visit.

Morningside of Concord is an amazing, caring, Community. Morningside offers Medication Management; and this is an important daily living tool for residents, and a blessing to know your loved one's are getting their daily medication. Residents receive 3 delicious meals a day, 3 snacks a day, and stay hydrated. When anyone is searching for a Community that is terrific with daily living as far as conversation, dressing, eating, grooming, bathing, transportation; come here to live and feel and see the care your loved one(s) receive. I personally visit my parents 3 - 4 days a week, and I live in Salisbury and work too. Every Resident is special and every Staff Worker is special.I personally have had moments of crying and multiple staff embraced me with caring remarks that helped me out and I was back to being peaceful. The Residents have indoor & outdoor activities; and Family Night every other month on a Thursday night with a musician and finger food that is finger licking good. Throughout the week, the Residents have a full Activity schedule to participate with if the Resident chooses to participate. My parents love the Activities with the singing; and if you think about it; singing is soothing to my parents due to Dementia. Singing brings a joy to their faces and their inner-selves. Even the mailboxes are special for my parents; with my Daddy, a 32 years of service Postmaster; the mailboxes are the closed-in boxes to where nobody can reach in and get other resident's mail. My parents have lived here for 3 plus years. My brother and I do not have to worry daily about their day to day living; as we did in the past. So come and live your life here at Morningside, the care, love, atmosphere is totally awesome.

PLEASE do not put your family member here!!!! At least not in the Memory Care part! Their only focus is money and protecting themselves from liability!! Supervisors are basically only there M-F 9-5. There is NO attention to detail in caring for the residents. They do the minimum required. They sometimes leave the residents sitting in the dining room from one meal to the next! I could on and one, but if I can keep ONE family from subjecting their family member to the poor quality of care for a very expensive price this review will have done its job! It is very impressive "initial" impression, but I can promise you will not be happy with the way your family member is treated!!!!!!!!!!!

Morningside is wonderful. They’re very good in that they check on mom frequently. Now they had a lot of staff turnover, which has been difficult for the patients, and probably not as attentive as they used to be. The food is terrible. They bring snacks just before a meal. My mom lost a lot of weight. They have food; it’s just not what old people are used to eating. However, the staff of my mom is very, very kind. The place is clean too. The staff is attentive. When mom is sick and she’s having a bad day, they always call me. I think that she’s mainly being taken care of, and they’re doing that. They have an onsite doctor, but we stayed with the doctor that’s taking care of mom before we went there.

Everybody is very nice, and the food is delicious at Morningside of Concord. It is clean. My parents have a little suite with a kitchenette, a bedroom, and a bathroom. They have outings, a family night once a month, and exercises. I am very pleased with it.
