In my lifetime I have never been so stressed than when I was contemplating a new home for my aging Mother. I was fortunate with help to find this beautiful facility. After many sleepless nights for both myself and my mother she is in day 4 of her new adventure and she is living her best life. She is making new friends, eating better than ever and so busy she doesn’t have time to see me! Instead of her caregiver I am her daughter again. ALL the staff are so kind and friendly. The residents are so helpful and willing to greet you at every turn. I am so grateful for finding Morning Star at Golden Ridge. I think it’s my new happy place too!
My mom thrives at Morning Star! My mom has been at Morning Star At Golden Ridge since September 2023! She absolutely loves it and we love it too. She loves her apartment. She loves her friends. We made a great decision.
We love partnering with MorningStar at Golden Ridge — their community is warm, welcoming, and truly focused on resident care. A special shoutout to Pat at the front desk, who is always friendly, organized, and incredibly helpful. She consistently provides the information and support our team needs so we can serve residents in the best way possible. It’s a pleasure working alongside people who care so deeply about their community.
Wonderful AL and Memory Care company to work with. I have gotten to spend a lot of time here and the staff, nurses, and event people are great. There is a lot to do here and it feels like a great place to be for residents. I recommend it to people in the area when needed.
Jannea Downs the wellness director is outstanding! I am grateful to her for all that she has done to help assist my aunt in Morning Star! She goes the extra mile to make sure that all of the needs are met! Her genuine care and concern is amazing! I also want to thank her team members that have also been tremendous! Thank you to Colleena also for your assistance ! I am so thankful that my aunt is probably taken care of!
