We moved my father here from independent living when he needed assisted-living. He was there for three months (before passing) and they were great! They were awesome at getting to know him, helping him as his needs changed, and truly loving on him. We had great communication with them for his needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for the last few months of his life.

Don't believe everything they tell you in the first meeting. Yes they are a good place, however it could take a few times of family members asking to get something done for your loved ones- If at all. It's VERY expensive and probably a lot like any other memory care

Thank you for your commendation of several important features in our service to seniors at MorningStar. Of course, we are disappointed in seeing that we failed to impress you in other areas. Would you kindly call our Wheat Ridge community where our Executive Director would welcome a conversation detailing your experience. We love feedback in the pursuit of service excellence. Hearing directly from folks is the most direct path to the excellence we seek.  Thank you.

My mom
A senior care facility should prioritize compassion, respect, and professionalism, but unfortunately, that was not our experience here. If you’re considering this place for a loved one, I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. No family should have to go through what we did.I Regret placing my mother here. The level of care and attention she received was far below what was promised. Her needs were not properly met, and the staff seemed either overwhelmed or indifferent to her well-being. Communication was poor, and concerns were often ignored or dismissed

Karla, Clearly your experience was not what you nor we would wish for. Both our Wheat Ridge and Arvada teams (after she transferred to that sister community) worked diligently to support and care for your mother. As you are aware, her condition was complicated from the start. We took careful, coordinated measures throughout her residency to address her special needs. It was our privilege to serve and to walk alongside your family.

The friendliness of the CNA's is a 5, but a 1 for management. Initially was really good then was worst experience. She was not given her meds every day. Trash in her room a lot. Got told we had to move her out because she fell too much and they cannot care for people that are fall risks. Will not use alarms and wanted us to pay the [fee removed] a month plus pay for an outside person to be with them 24/7 to watch if they fall. Not helpful with facilitating for her care and for the money we paid would never send another loved one to that facility. The daily care people the CNAs and aids were good but management is horrible and will not help families.

Not great if I could give a 0 I would
Not a good experience. Was good at first and the intake but we are no longer there. They don’t have ability to help seniors if they are fall risks. If they are prone to falls be prepared that on top of the almost [removed] per month they want to require you to provide 24 hour one on one fall watch care at their facility and pay for that through a outside company and still pay their monthly rate. They will not use bed or chair alarms. When we moved her out they gave us her meds and multiple days were not given to her. [name removed] was great but the others that facilitate the care were very difficult to work with. Dirty dishes in her room a lot and her room would be a mess most of the time. Their experience in this field was misleading by the lead nurse and facility director.

As much as I like them and the facility I would say.... If they r taking care of the meds, make sure to always watch and check the statements; my parents bathroom was not cleaned nearly good enough; keep in mind to "order" a person to help feed/hydrate them; be as present as possible so the workers know that your loved one(s) will not get overlooked and that if that does happen, it is addressed and chances will be lessened to happen again; and with any place you decide on, always keep as close of an eye on your loved one(s) as possible. With any issue that I had, I went directly to the head of the floor. I made myself known with the staff and had a very good relationship with the head of the memory care floor. That way she always knew who I was calling about when I called. Even with what I wrote above, I am glad that Morningstar Wheat Ridge is the facility we picked for my parents last 9ish months of their lives. I forgot to expand on the "ordering" a person to help loved one feed/hydrate.....if your loves one(s) are not able to feed themselves well enough or can't feed themselves, the facility can arrange for a person to be with your person to help feed and hydrate them. This is at an extra cost if your person is not in Hospice.

They knew all the family names. They worked with Hospice team and medical teams very closely. Very coordinated service. They often consulted with family face to face. Only issue was a lag time to make any medication changes. But that was on the safe side.

The care staff is amazing. I have seen meals that I would not feed a dog. Activities are almost non-existent, there is no thought or effort put into the activities. Watching YouTube is considered an activity. Instead of seeing what the residents are interested in, they just keep doing the same old things that take no effort. They keep raising the price and provide sub par food and activities. I have expressed my concerns several times and nothing changes, we are to the point where we will look into something else, my mom loves her care staff, but the rest is terrible.

Dear Valued Family, we are distressed by your review.  In recent weeks our Executive Director and department leaders have met collectively about our families and residents to build an action plan that audits and addresses each matter you have aired.  We are confident in our ability as a team to resolve and rebuild a relationship with any family member who may express this concern.  Thank you for giving us that opportunity.

We toured with MorningStar of Wheat Ridge and it was fantastic, actually our first choice. But because it was the most expensive of all the places we saw, and, most importantly, my in/laws thought it was too far away, we did not choose it. The tour was very well done and t seemed like a great place!

Our Tour Experience
At that time, a lot of tours were virtual, including our tour at MorningStar. At the same time, another place we ended up choosing allowed in-person tours. Even through a virtual tour, I could see that MorningStar was an older facility and not as nice. The people leading the tour seemed like typical salespeople, like real estate agents that didn’t want to sell real estate anymore, using all the language that just made you feel like they’re trying to sell you something.

We regret reading this assessment from your virtual tour of our Wheat Ridge community. Please accept our apologies for the impression we left. The heart of the MorningStar brand is to be sincerely relational and a true resource for seniors, whatever the circumstances. Throughout the pandemic, we diligently followed COVID guidelines set by healthcare authorities. However, we are now freely permitted to offer in-person tours…and are exceedingly glad, for only then can families see and feel the warmth under our roof. MorningStar of Wheat Ridge was opened in 2016; its interior design wins much praise; view its photo gallery at morningstarseniorliving.com.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Colorado’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Colorado’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored MorningStar of Wheat Ridge 8.1 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
