My mom is a resident, and the experience and level of care have been wonderful. This is especially true with her recent move from the Assisted Living to Memory Care wing due to the progression of her dementia. The entire staff is courteous, understanding, and exemplifies caregiving. They work hard, and It's really reassuring to know my mom is safe and well cared for 🙂

Best senior facility (including mem care), period. There is so much family & community love here. My loved one has been here 3+ years.Its certainly an older facility, and not the fanciest. That doesnt matter because our loved ones prefer love, respect, fun, and peacefullness over granite & fancy fixtures. There is not a single employee who doesnt know a residents name! (In other words, our loved ones living here are not just a check!) It doesnt matter the day of week or time of day…every employee will stop and talk to the resident and give them some love. This is truly a loving family and community….and I have been in (too) many. The staff are experienced, attentive and loving. There are many caregivers here whom have been here for 10, 12, 15 and 20+ years. No other facility can say that. In closing, I will say what I always do when Im asked….if there was a better facility than this…then my loved one would be there instead of the Oaks at Alpharetta. You truly wont find a better place for your loved one!

My aunt has been a resident of Morningside in Alpharetta for two years. While she would rather still be in her own home, Morningside is definitely the next best thing. The care she receives is very good and we feel like Lisa (the director) and Matthew (who is also an administrator) care for her as they would their own family. The facilities are clean, well maintained and safe. Our questions and concerns are addressed promptly. My aunt is blind and has some physical disabilities and they have gone above and beyond to accommodate her very special needs. Making the decision to mover her to a senior living community was very difficult for all of us, but we can sleep easy knowing she is safe and loved.

My aunt has been a resident at Morningside of Alpharetta for two years. She is a complicated case in that she is blind and has a dog. The staff and the facilities at Morningside are simply phenomenal. They have bent over backwards accommodating our families needs and go above and beyond at every turn. Even with Covid making the last year so challenging for this type of facility, theyve done everything they could do to keep the residents happy and engaged and SAFE.....a near impossible feat. In short, I cannot say enough or recommend it more highly.

Morningside of Alpharetta has been a great fit for my elderly mom - she loves it there! She did not want to leave her home of 35 years, but after a few months at Morningside, she thanked us for helping her make the decision to move. She now agrees that it was time, and has said on numerous occasions how good they are to her, and how much she likes it there. The staff has been kind, caring, and extremely genuine - many have been there numerous years (some places have a lot of turnover), which says a lot about Morningsides overall focus on people. We wholeheartedly recommend Morningside to anyone looking to provide top-notch care to an aging parent or family member. We looked at a number of facilities before deciding on Morningside - it was by far the right choice for us.

If youre looking for an ALF for your mom or dad, you could not pick a place better than Morningside of Alpharetta. During the last few months, my father had some medical challenges. While in the hospital and subsequent nursing care, the staff from Morningside took time from their day to visit with him to cheer him up. They have now welcomed him into their community and his onboarding has been simply amazing. I need to mention Tara Crane in particular. She is the best Director of Health Services you will find any where! Tara not only makes sure everything is correct, she and her staff truly care deeply about everyone in their care. Our family is so lucky to know Tara is looking after our dad. Lastly, Lisa thank you for everything you do!

My family could not be more pleased with the positive experience for our mother moving to Morningside of Alpharetta. Every person whom we and our Mom has dealt with have been compassionate, professional, skilled and attentive. Lisa and her amazing team, Matthew, Tara, Darryl, Tony, Saundra, Jocelyn, and everyone have made our mom feel cared for. The surroundings are wonderful, feeling like a true residence, the food superior and services provided 5 star. We could not be more pleased and confident in knowing this is the right choice for our mother.

As a spiritual care provider I have experienced the leadership and staff of Morningside of Alpharetta providing wholesome care to residents, caring for the body, the mind, and the spirit. During my visits to the community, I see staff engaging residents with dignity and respect. As a healthcare professional, I can tell from my interactions with the residents that they are well cared for. With caring leadership from Executive Director Lisa Miner, wellness care from Resident Service Director Robin Schlanger, engaging activities from Lifestyle Program Director Renita Hicks, memory care support from Nicole, and other staff, Morningside has a great team to support its community, and I appreciate the difficult work they do day in and day. Thank You!

Here are four key things that stand out to me about your facility: 1. The openness and approachability of your staff. Visitors of all types feel welcomed to the facility with a "how can I help you?" greeting that is purposeful, welcoming, and kind. 2. It is impressive that the executive and nursing leadership know the background and status of every resident they encounter throughout the building. It demonstrates sincere care, attention to detail, and real compassion for people. 3. The wonderful social gatherings for residents and families - festive, warm and engaging - whether seasonal parties, or informal gatherings in the front lobby by the fireplace. The events are high quality, well-attended, and always feature special attention to the residents. 4. The attentiveness to the residents by the staff at every level. The residents are loved and cared for like family. For example, I have never entered our Memory Care unit without seeing multiple staff actively engaged in caring for the residents.

I work with a company that collaborates with Morningside by providing caregivers. Lisa, the ED, at Morningside makes sure that the clients and their families are top priority. The grounds are always clean and safe. I do not hesitate to send my staff over there. Morningside is a great place for client's to reside. It feels like home.

I love Morningside of Alpharetta. It's in a beautiful building in quaint little Alpharetta. The front porch is so inviting, and the employees are extremely friendly and helpful. I have been entertaining here for many years, and I'm so happy they keep me coming back. Lisa Miner, the Director, is absolutely the best. She makes sure everything is always running smoothly, and she is remarkably personable and caring with the residents. Morningside makes you always feel right at home.

I have been to a lot of facilities as a sitter but this facility is the best. Caregivers are great and the food is absolutely the best. I don’t have family at this facility I have nothing to gain by giving this review but I am behind the Scene and see what’s going on Excellent place.

My husband and I have visited Morningside for 8 years. The new director is excellent. She is professional, organized and compassionate. The staff is also helpful and kind. Always willing to answer questions and provide assistance. The common areas are tastefully decorated and well kept. We have a ministry to assisted living residents and always look forward to seeing our Morningside friends. We are at Morningside twice a month.

We have been very pleased with Morningside after moving my husbands father in about 7 months ago. He really didnt want to be in an assisted living, getting care from strangers, but it didnt take long for him to feel right at home and grow to love his caretakers! They treat him so well, and treat him with such respect! Of course, no place is perfect, and little things have gone wrong now and then, but mostly we have seen everyone try to do their very best for the residents. We can tell the staff really get to know the residents and care emotionally for them. My husband or I get there everyday, so we know what is going on. The place is clean and cozy and the food is good! It has the feel of a family home! Highly recommend!

My sister and I have been extremely pleased and grateful for the care our mother has received at Morningside. The entire staff, from management to kitchen staff, have been nothing but kind, patient, and helpful. Our mother is happy and has improved since coming to Morningside. We did not expect her to survive her last illness, so to see her thriving is thrilling. I would recommend Morningside without hesitation.

Not the normal assisted living facility, and that is a good thing. After visiting and researching several facilities I chose Morningside, Alpharetta for my mother. To be honest, my decision was swayed by the fact that the environment at Morningside simply "felt" right. After our application was processed and the paperwork was signed I wondered (as I'm sure most people do) "have I made the right decision”? My mother has lived here for 8 months now and I'm confident that I made the right decision, and that she is being well cared for. Morningside is not a "home" or a "facility", but rather a community. It's the caregivers that are most important when considering the well being and happiness of a loved one, and the staff and management at Morningside understand that, and definitely provide five star care.

I have been at Morningside of Alpharetta for almost a year now as the Resident Service Director. Every day there are new challenges. When I walk in the door every morning, it really does feel like walking into someone's home, because it is. I personally love that the most about being in this community. Our residents are like family to me and I try to remember that every day as I feel we are here to serve and take care of them.

The staff at Morningside are caring, loving and compassionate. This includes ALL the staff including directors, care givers, med techs, dinning hall staff, physical and occupational therapists and housekeeping. Our Mama was hospitalized several months ago and when she returned, the love shown towards her was very heart warming. It was obvious she was loved and she felt like she had been missed. They show this love daily. As a family member, this does not go unrecognized. The directors have an open door policy when concerns arise.

As a Hospice Community Liaison I ALWAYS enjoy going to Morningside of Alpharetta no matter what my visits are for. Whether it's to meet with a family about Hospice services or anything else. They throw the BEST parties which I try to always attend if possible. The staff are just a delight to work with! Every time I visit it's like going to a comfortable place like home. They truly make me feel welcome. My father and older brother are in an assisted living facility in Florida but if I ever moved them to Georgia, this is the home I would choose for them. This facility is truly my favorite facility in my territory! Judy Dee

The team at Morningside are special individuals. They are extremely caring and embrace the residents as if they are their family. Meghans grandmother and my mother Catherine has resided at Morningside since April 2016. Although the organization has gone through changes since then, the team continually strives to improve the level of care and support both to the residents and to their families. Whenever there are issues or concerns they are very responsive to address the concern. I would recommend this facility to anyone who has a senior family member. Cathy L - Alpharetta

My mother has been a resident of Morningside since February, 2018. She has Alzheimers and was previously in a facility which informed us they were unable to care for her any longer due to her heightened needs. We were given thirty days to relocate her. I visited five other facilities and then met with Barb McQuiston at Morningside, who assured me that she and her staff would be able to provide a safe and caring environment for Mother, which they have done! The caregivers are very responsive to my mothers needs, and it is obvious they care about the residents and strive to keep them as happy as they can be at this advanced stage. When I visit, they recognize me and are ready and willing to answer any questions I have, and also happily respond to any requests. The facility is beautiful, homey and comfortable and I feel confident that my mother is receiving a high level of attention and care. Barb McQuiston, who is the Director, is very helpful and responsive and, as I shared with her, her enthusiasm and experience were about 85% of the reason I initially chose to place my mother at Morningside. Now that she is living there, I am confident I made the right decision, and knowing she is there gives me peace of mind I have not experienced in the past. i highly recommend Morningside to other families seeking a comfortable and caring facility for a loved one. It is a wonderful place!!!!

Unfortunately, this facility was recommended as having very high standards and excellent care. We have found none of this to be true. We have received many promises to look into situations as they have arisen but not positive repair of the issues. Biggest problem is paying for services that are not provided in a quality manner. We hold out hope as the location is so convenient.

The staff at Dogwood Forest have taken very good care of my aging father. They have also been very helpful in finding resources to assist us in caring for him.
