🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5-Star Review: A Wonderful Home for My Aunt with Dementia “I can’t say enough about the care and compassion my Aunt has received at Morning Star Pasadena , Ca.. When we began looking for a place where she could thrive despite her dementia, we visited many facilities, but this one truly stood out from the start. The staff here is not only highly trained in dementia care but also remarkably patient, kind, and attentive. They go out of their way to make her feel safe, respected, and cared for every day. Also ensuring me anytime I have a concern of worry . They always offered a solution . Knowing that she’s in an environment that’s designed to support memory care has given our family immense peace of mind. What’s especially wonderful is how they keep her engaged with various activities and therapies tailored to residents with dementia. Whether it’s music, crafts, gentle exercises, or dancing she always has a positive outlet and routine that makes her feel valued and connected. The facility itself is clean, beautifully maintained, and has cozy common areas where residents can socialize. I’m grateful to the entire team at Morning Star of Pasadena for creating a warm, compassionate community that supports not just my Aunt but also our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better home for her, and I would highly recommend Morningstar to anyone searching for a loving and professional senior care facility for their loved one with dementia.” 5 stars, without a doubt! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

7/30/2022 - Toured the MorningStar Senior Living with my uncle this afternoon under the director of community relationship, Sandie, who acts very professional and informative. We are all impressed with this 5-star luxurious senior living residences. Its hallway with elegant lighting looks like The Ritz-Carlton. The tendrous and tasting Grilled Mahi Mahi is one of the best - Only a highly skilled chef can make it - you can't find it easily in many restaurants. It is worth mentioning that you can clearly see the Huntington Hospital from a balcony (only 0.6 miles away from the MorningStar)

This is my observations as a visitor of “Reflections Neighborhood” (second floor memory care) when I visit a friend. I find the care staff friendly and organized about their tasks. They work as a team to move and attend to the residents who are less mobile or in wheelchairs. The living room and the activity room are clean and serene. Decor and paintings are changed for occasions. Daily activities include morning reads of historic tidbits, chair exercise, rest time before lunch or living room viewing of online nature programs. After lunch activities I have seen are rest time, singing olde time songs with a musician, bingo, art painting or craft, trivia pursuits. Highly professional musical performances are planned around holidays on the first floor for all Morningstar residents and seats are saved for the Reflections Neighborhood residents if they wish to attend with care staff. Residents are reminded and encouraged by staff to participate in all activities. Care staff are patient and understanding. The activities director, Yolanda, is always upbeat, cheerful, full of energy. The 3 course meals served in the dining room are well presented and in portions appropriate for a healthy diet. Residents get to choose between two entrees. Meal times are peaceful and efficient. My overall feeling about Morningstar when I visit, is that my friend is in a caring, safe, elegant, serene home.

After touring several assisted living communities in the Glendale/Pasadena/Burbank area, we settled on Morningstar as the best location for our elderly relative. Such a move is an emotionally tough time for families, and the staff at Morningstar were extremely helpful in getting us through this transition. Dimetris, Jasmin, Rhonda, Norma, Mariah, and the rest of the staff are an impressive, caring crew. Many thanks!

The care is 5 star, Kevin and Dimitrius know their patients, and think of everything to be able to make ones stay comfortable and with a home like environment. Imagine even in their memory unit they have sensory couches for their residents. Not only that , for being an assisted living in Pasadena it's affordable, and luxurious . It's truly a beautiful, and caring place one thing I know is they take customer service above and beyond . Thank you to the Morningstar team
