MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Beaverton

I have lived in 3 senior communities so when selecting Morningstar I was very particular. I am very impressed with the location, design and layout of the building. While having excellent community spaces for us to enjoy the fun activities and social times, it also has those beautiful areas where one can sneak off by themselves and relax in peace and serenity. We have 2 beautiful outdoor patios with fireplaces that overlook a greenbelt with a pond. The activities are geared to our likes and we are able to pick and choose the ones we wish to attend or suggest others to have in the future. The leadership in place now is fantastic and they are lead by an excellent Executive Director, Teresa. She works with her management team to insure we get the best care. And it really shows in the discerning way they select new line staff. All the staff, whether in care, dining, housekeeping or medications, really do their best to insure our well-being and safety. To them, we are more than just a resident, we all are family. This place is the best place out there.

Looking for a community to move in to is a very stressful and scary thing. I was leaving what has been your comfort zone for 40 years and now moving towards the unknown. As my care needs increased beyond the point of living at home, my husband Kevin, and I began looking for someplace I could feel safe and secure in, but also someplace that gave me that This is the one feeling. After looking at other places, we found Morningstar and I found my This is the one. It is not only beautiful here but the care staff is beyond fantastic. I truly love all of the staff here and I feel like I am being looked after by my extended family. The other residents actually care about one another and we have fun together whether during an activity or just sitting with one another visiting. With having a gym on the premises, I am able to do my PT without worrying about how to get out somewhere to do it. Getting out and about is difficult, but here I have almost anything I need; the gym, a salon, a theater, games and social activities, a private spa tub and if I really want to be pampered I can schedule a massage. The management team is so wonderful and responsive to our comments and needs. The great staff starts with the Executive Director, Teresa Smith, to her Department Managers and up to the ones who are in contact with us most, the frontline staff. The dining is fantastic. The wait staff even know what I like to drink, and serve it before I even ask, Hot Chocolate and Grape Juice. I am so thankful my husband and I found Morningstar. With that first visit, I was in my home away from home. I Love it!!!

My mother is in the memory care area at Morning Star and I couldn't have picked a better place for her. The staff are incredible people, the entire facility is clean and bright, no bad smells and the food is great. If you're looking for a care facility for a loved one, I would highly recommend checking out Morning Star. You won't be disappointed.

I love living here. My husband and I moved in and everyone was so warm and welcoming. Being an active person, I enjoy the programs and activities the Life Enrichment Coordinator puts together for us. I even volunteer with some of the daily duties to keep our home thriving. The care staff and their Director are so wonderful and accommodating to our needs. The meals are cooked fresh and are fantastic with a variety of dishes and choices. Not to mention I do not have to worry about cooking them myself anymore. My husband recently passed and the extra love and care the entire staff showed me, and my family, was genuine and heartfelt. My neighbors, and all the staff, are part of my extended family now and it is good to have that kind of support group so close at hand. I recommend anyone looking to simplify their life and get pampered doing it, to come visit here. It is beautiful.

My daughter convinced me to tour Morning Star Senior Living because I continued to lose weight at the community where I lived for 5 years. The food was not good, bland, and boring there so I refused to eat. The first visit to Morning Star I was introduced to Tom the Executive Chef. They had just finished lunch but he had an extra piece of Salmon so he let me try it. Oh my goodness it was so good I ate every bit. Then we went back for a tour of the apartment on July 4, 2019, however, I was invited to also join in the celebration lunch, expecting hot dogs and hamburgers. Again to my surprise, we were served sirloin steak, riblets, corn on the cob, baked beans, and strawberry short cake. It was delicious!!! I couldn't stop eating. Next we toured to apartment and I fell in love with the size of the bathroom and dressing area. The apartment was so bright, warm and inviting. You guest it, I signed on the dotted line and move-in the next week. Senior living dining at Morning Star is fabulous, like family! Great menu options are available every day with snacks, fresh fruit, and cookies for later, if you get hungry. I have been here about 6 months now. I look forward to the great food Tom and his team prepare for us that is shared over good conversation with everyone. Tom comes out and gives everyone a big hello and hug making them feel welcome and put a smile on their face. Even the silverware is wrapped in a linen napkin just like at a restaurant for fine dining. Holidays are special as well. For Christmas we had a choice of prime rib or salmon. WOW!!! Sharing delicious meals at Morning Star prepared by Chef Tom, that taste really really good, gives this 96 year old lady something to look forward. What else do seniors have to look forward to at this stage of their life......but an excellent meal, excellent company (residents and staff) and some good old fun and laughter. We experience all of this at Morning Star of Beaverton, come join us! Fran Stuart
