Review
MorningStar Senior Living receives mixed reviews. Many families praise its beautiful, well-maintained environment, warm first impressions, and caring staff—especially team members like Lindsey, Paula, and nurse Cindy, who are frequently described as compassionate, responsive, and supportive. Several residents showed improved engagement and well-being after moving in, and families appreciated the clean community and thoughtful activities. However, others report concerns, especially at the West Des Moines location. Issues include inconsistent care, slow staff response times, missed showers, falls during activities, and occasional tension with private caregivers. Dining is another common complaint, with meals sometimes differing from the menu due to frequent shortages. Some reviewers also mention lost personal items and inconsistent follow-through from management. Overall, MorningStar offers a warm, attractive environment with standout staff members, but experiences vary widely by location and team consistency. Prospective families may want to visit in person, ask detailed questions, and closely monitor care during the transition.
