PositiveGood service and care but could use better training
The head nurse is amazing and always takes good care of them. The dining area is great because they know my mom has gluten intolerance so they’re very good at making sure she avoids it. The caregivers and med techs could use a bit more training on dealing with dementia patients.

PositiveReview for MorningStar of Pasadena
The best place any senior could be at. The staff is very attentive, polite and helpful at all times. She is given her medication and checked by a nurse every day. The food is good, they have a variation of entertainment every week. There is a trip to the store every week and fun day out too.

PositiveReview for MorningStar of Pasadena
I would definitely recommend to others. Overall, we're very happy with Morningstar .The only reason I put 4 for the first response is because the kitchen staff is lacking. But I don't think it's really their fault per se. they're just very short staffed
