My husband recently moved to Morningside House and has had a great experience. The staff are caring, efficient and responsive to resident needs. In addition, and equally important, fellow residents are very welcoming and helpful. This can only happen when the community fosters interactions and strong relationships with staff and residents.<br>Jennifer Ghartey, Director of Sales and Marketing, has been a pleasure to work with from my initial visit through “move-in” day and beyond. Her enthusiasm and helpfulness are greatly appreciated.<br>The facility is newly renovated and very well maintained. Two large courtyards are available for relaxing and outdoor dining. The overall facility is like a boutique hotel.<br>I recommend Morningside House for anyone looking for an inclusive, family-like atmosphere for a loved one.

This particular review is for the activities people Brandi and Joel. Brandi Eybs is the coordinator. The activities they come up with day after day are quite motivating for the residents. I like how they will go to the second floor and get my mother-in-law from her room to participate in the activities. Also a shout out to Samantha who manages the front desk. She is always very welcoming when we come to visit.
