I toured several memory care facilities and knew Morningside House of St. Charles was the right one halfway through my tour. The staff are warm and welcoming - Lori was amazing with answering our many questions and made the move-in and paperwork process a breeze. Everyone has been attentive from the Tasha at the front desk, the maintenance staff, the nurses, everyone has been great. Moving our mother into memory care was a difficult decision and the staff have gone out of their way to make sure mom is engaged and cared for. The meals are delicious and I love they take a whole foods approach. The facilities are clean and it's relief to know mom is getting the level of care she needs in a warm and environment.

We have been very happy with this facility for our mom. The staff is warm and friendly, the food is delicious, and the activities are fun and engaging. My mom convinced some staffers that she's independent, but we've addressed that successfully. The staffers are responsive and request feedback to keep them on point.
