The residents and staff at Morningside House of Ellicott City are fantastic. I have been playing music there for several years, in various different formats, and we always have a great time! Greg Lardieri

I can’t say enough good things about Dan at Morningside EC! I called looking for information for a relative, and although the facility isn't the right fit for us, Dan reached back out to offer incredible advice and resources to help our family on our care journey. I have spoken to many people this afternoon, but Dan was the only one who offered this level of genuine support. He truly cared about helping us navigate all the care resources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, call Morningside and ask for Dan!

Let’s give a more realistic review than asking the employees to just put in 5 stars with no reviews. The place is okay. My parent does not like the food and says everything is soft and processed. The prices continue to increase and the services seem to be dwindling. When first started transportation to appointments were available and now apparently that is only Tuesday thru Thursday now. Also average time to answer call button is 30 minutes so hopefully someone does not have a heart attack. It does smell like urine most times in hallways. Many times when visiting the beds have not been made and trash needs to be emptied. The health providers are good, front desk is nice and higher levels positions are professional. Floor aids have high turnover and are hit or miss.

My rating is based on my tours only. Too bad my mom did not choose Morningside but because of the attention and my tour experience I wanted to review them. We had lunch there. All the food we tried was very good. They know how to make fries. :) Based on my experience with other assisted living places, I would say the food is about a 7 out of 10. Some of the pairings are interesting, which is why I don't go higher. For example, baked beans were served to us with a seafood salad on croissant. Kind of an odd combo. That said, my my mom loved the beans. The menu is better than other places but also not the best I've seen. Overall the building is quite elegant. There are many places on the first floor to hangout and chill or chat. The lobby is very airy and bright. The grounds are very nice. You can hear route 29 while you're outside but there are tall, mature trees all around the property and you don't see 29 at all. Several residents were quite complimentary of Morningside. One of my favorite things was the 1 bedroom apartment. The layout and amount of space was impressive! The kitchenette area could have a bit more counter space. For example, my mom has a coffee machine in her current facility. There isn't much counter space here to make that feasible. At the moment, they allow smoking and seem to have a reasonable approach to it. That can change so I won't go into details. It is good to know though because many places don't allow smoking. Something I understand but is frustrating to expect of the boomer generation. They throw a special party monthly to visit a different country/area. These are well attended by residents' family even. We got a glimpse of the Paris event because some of the beautiful decorations were still up. I love that they are very engaged with the resident's family, encouraging them to attend events. If the time comes that I need to move to assisted living, I would definitely consider Morningside. The one thing that I had some angst about was the darkness of the living areas, specifically the hallways. There were windows around except at the ends of the hallway. Combined with darker paint in places and dark carpet, it felt somewhat closed in. That's an aesthetic thing. I left our tours feeling confident that this is a quality facility with caring staff.
