Morningside of Bellgrade

My 93 yr. old father with dementia had been living in a retirement facility but needed more. We did extensive research before we made the decision to choose Morningside. We are very pleased. The minute you walk in the doors you are warmly greeted. The facility is lovely and inviting. The activities and enrichment opportunities are good. The staff are warm and caring. Dad has been here for almost 2 years. We are so happy that our beloved Dad has a loving, caring, safe home at this last part of his life’s journey.rn

My dad was in Morningside at Bellgrade for two months and then got better and went home. We have never had such an awesome experience. There was not one time that ALL the staff (front desk, nurses, administration, dining room crew etc) were not smiling, friendly, ready to help in any way possible. I was there every day, and it was the same every day. I’ve just never seen anything like it. They were the same when we toured. They are a great group of people, and I really miss seeing them on a daily basis. They were becoming part of my extended family. rnrnMy dad doesn’t have a computer, and it’s hard for him to write, but these are his comments too. He has nothing but good things to say about everyone there. The dining room crew greeted my dad and me when I ate there with all smiles. He always wanted a glass of water and a glass of orange juice at each meal, and as soon as they saw him coming in, it was on the table. Everything was excellent. rnrnAnn, the activities director, did a great job in planning activities and outings that were fun. My dad enjoyed all the outings he went on. rnrnKudos to Kasey Matthews. She is the best. She was very thorough and put our minds at ease from the first time we met her. She sold me and my family on Morningside for my dad. She is a very caring and compassionate person, and at this time of need, it was so welcomed. My family had no experience with assisted living facilities until now. She really made this process for us a lot easier. We visited other places, and there is no comparison to the staff, every one of them, at Morningside. They get 10 stars from my family.rn
