My parents recently moved across the country into the community. The Morning Star staff has been incredibly accommodating with a fully furnished apartment for their stay while they wait for their furniture to arrive. They love all the activities the beautiful amenities and excellent food. The residents are wonderfully welcoming and have made this transition much easier than expected.

I was tasked with moving my 90 year old mother in February. She had been living in a small 3 bedroom house for the past 12 years and I needed a new place for her to go. I spent 2 days searching and visiting different facilities and by far, Morning Star was the clear winner!! It had everything from a large salt water pool to the bistro and beyond with lots of planned engaging activities and entertainment! Buying into this community provides so many extras like summertime barbecues and outings in the community to name a few. The apartments are clean and well appointed with lots of storage, and the location is awesome and easy to get to. Everyone there is welcoming and friendly while the staff goes out of their way to make residents comfortable. Morning Star of Kirkland, senior living is such a fabulous place!
