I had Wilfried as my server. He was very kind and professional. The service was excellent and he had a great demeanor, very friendly and funny as well. Made for a good dinner! Everyone was friendly, the environment was amazing, and the food was good! From what I saw it is a great place.

Morningstar has been a blessing for our family. The staff and environment have made the transition for my parents from independent living in their own home to a senior living apartment as smooth as possible. The staff is so caring, especially Rosemary at the front desk and Wilfred in the dining room, we are so thankful

What a wonderful place. My wife and I visited nine other places and none of them had the vibrant atmosphere of Morningstar. Our experience here with other residents and staff has been very positive. We feel comfortable here and feel this has been a great choice for us.
