Morningside of Sterling

I want to share... I need to praise... the amazing facility in Sterling, Illinois ... it is called MorningSide! Our wonderful parents have lived a beautiful and blessed life of health and love to the age to nearly 91 and 94 on their birthdays tomorrow and in June. Until this last fall they were independent and traveling to Florida every winter for 40 years and farming the rest of the year. Last fall, a new phase of lifestyle was in order as related health issues became a reality. My brother and I both live out of state...we faced difficult choices in very short amounts of time. We visited as many assisted living facilities as possible in a very short amount of time. Big decisions have to be made in a very quick time frame when something serious happens . We werent ready... no one is. But, we felt very confident and relieved to find MorningSide of Sterling the most amazing place to move our parents to for their care and happiness in this phase of their journey. Many bumps in the road from independence to assisted living care... for those moving there and the family making those decisions. From the first phone call and the first visit to meet Lindsey, and the amazing staff for their excellent care from Alice and Rose and so many others in the dining room and housekeeping staff... it has been a very positive experience. The facility is top notch in care, cleanliness, and kindness to not only the residents but the family that is so concerned for their loved ones. Thank you to everyone staffed at MorningSide for your kindness, and dedication to our loved ones.

My Father was at Morningside, and I cannot say enough about the people who work there! Awesome Staff, and they go out of their way to help as much as possible. Would I recommend Morningside for those who Need assisted living, You Bet! Thank you for the care you gave my Father while he was there!

First I would like to compliment the Morningside Facebook page on keeping us connected with all the activities you have going on at The Hotel (our family calls Morningside 'The Hotel', since it is so fancy and my children literally think great grandma lives at a hotel). Seeing videos and pictures of her sweet face makes for an awesome day. Secondly, she always has wonderful things to say about the staff, the food (she is picky and can be hard to please), art projects, fresh air drives, and the MOST important thing BINGO! Thank you all for taking great care of my grandmother, she enjoys her life much more now that she isn't sitting at home by herself. PS, thank you for having reliable internet so Grandma can message me daily and make sure I have not gotten into trouble!

I was convinced Morningside's Bridge to Rediscovery was the perfect place for my mom, the moment I had the tour of the facility. The staff was very open to all my questions and concerns, and put my mind at ease. When I saw the activities scheduled for the residents, I knew my mom would never be at a loss for things to keep her busy and happy. Once we made the arrangements for mom, the staff was very happy to have me bring mom in to participate in afternoon crafts, even before she moved in. The entire staff is warm and friendly, caring and patient, with each and every resident. I can't imagine my mom being anywhere else.

Morningside of Sterling is the best assisted living facility I have seen. My Mom lives there and all of the staff are exceptional in the friendly care they give to the residents. The activities daily keep the residents engaged and on the move helping their physical and mental well being. Plenty of space for families to gather for a special occasion. I highly recommend Morningside for anyone needing assisted living arrangements.
