Cornerstone is an INCREDIBLE facility! I have the opportunity to be in the building as a nurse with an outside organization. It is rare to find care staff who are truly invested in the best interest of their residents. The entire staff goes above and beyond not just to care for the residents but to give them joy and activities and to live the best life they are able to. It is clean and bright and welcoming. I would not hesitate to have a loved one live here!

After searching all of Boise and Meridian memory care facilities, my family was so relieved to find MorningStar. The facility is homey and inviting and the care staff are all amazing, trustworthy people. I would not have my dad live anywhere else. Thank you MorningStar!

I have played for this facility numerous times as a musician. What I have witnessed, while I have played, are residents that are treated with dignity, staff that actually wants to come to work, a building that is designed to be "home like" but also safe for the residents, and a heart to walk with each resident regardless of their mental state. It is a precious thing to see life in all stages being respected and cared for in a dignified way.

It is without hesitation that I write a 5-star review for MorningStar Memory Care. My mom has been a resident here for almost six months, and we say it has given her "a new lease on life." It's easy to make a good first impression, but over the months, MorningStar has lived up to its promise to be a place that honors God, treats residents with dignity, and invests generously in quality staff. The facility- WOW! I love how each room has it's own private shower and kitchenette. It gives the residents the feeling of living in an upscale apartment. Also, I like the layout where there's many gathering spaces throughout the building. My mom's room opens up to one of five living rooms, and it feels very homey with the fire place and even a pool table that's a lot of fun when grandkids to come visit. The food- Great, we love to go eat there too. We appreciate the dignity of how they take each resident's order and treat it like a restaurant experience. They are very welcoming to guests, so my mom can host friends for lunch. The activities- Top Notch. They bring in great musicians. Jen is creative and fun. My mom looks forward to the fun field trip drives throughout Boise. Care Staff- WOW! I am so impressed with how the staff has taken a personal interest in caring for my mom. For example, Marsha brought my mom her favorite drink from Dutch Bros, and Jessica does beautiful hair styles. They are creative and caring in handling complex situations. Nursing Staff- Wonderful at handling medication changes and communication. Kami Bellomy is an amazing Nurse Practitioner to work with. Thank you, MorningStar Memory Care of Englefield Green. You are a blessing to our family.

Visiting a resident at Morningstar one day, we met Jen, the Activities Director. We asked her if our teenage son might play piano there to bring music to the residents, as a community service project. She was very open to the idea and welcomed us there warmly. Almost a year later, he has been playing there every few weeks. We've been so touched by the residents' pleasure in the music, and grateful for the opportunity to contribute. We appreciate Jen and all the staff who are so helpful to the residents and work to create an environment that is peaceful, caring, and vibrant.

I thoroughly researched for a Memory Care facility where I could be assured that my wife,Jan, would receive the highest quality care. She had been living with me, while also receiving 8 hours a day of care with a Home Health Aide. It became evident that she needed a higher level of care than the HHA and I could provide. Morning Star Memory Care has provided excellent care for my wife. I cannot say enough good things about the level of care that she receives in a safe, secure environment. The caregivers are highly trained in dealing with dementia patients in a caring and loving way. Jan and I have been people of faith for years and it is very comforting for me to know she is in a facility where her physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are met.

Morning Star is a truly quality senior living memory loss community. It was not an easy decision to move our mother but the human touch that I have witnessed has made all the difference. I want to move here! It is beautiful; clean; great food, lots of great activities which encompass every activity level. My mom particularly enjoys the many music concerts. This is a picture of my mom and one of my sisters enjoying a concert by a lovely harpist playing such tunes as Canon in D and Danny's Boy that brought many to tears and to singing along! What Spontaneous Joy! I'm very impressed with the staff. No relationship is easy, but the staff at Morning Star truly meet people where they're at, and look out for their residents and each other. Well Done! Lots of peace of mind here as I am out of town and am only able to visit every other month or so.

What are a few important items that one would maybe not know about by just strolling through Morning Star- Memory Care and seeing the beautiful apartments of different sizes some appropriate for a couple living here, and others designed for singles? The three bullets below are what I have learned within the past 14 plus weeks of living here that I would not have noticed on a "walk through." ! All surfaces cleaned and sanitized, use "HP202," a hydrogen peroxide/ food grade/ hospital grade cleaner with a single cap of Red Clover Tea added to absorb all odors from the room including the cleaning product. Further, that every nook and cranny is dusted from the ceiling to the floor as each room and hallway is cleaned. The "blue shirt" care giver people, include: those "working the floor"; the "Med-Tech/care managers" that have earned an A++ with their daily fully documented records and care; the nurses; and the people responsible for ordering new medications called in by physicians, ordering on-going medication refills, tracking them, and distributing these to the locked medication carts located in the hallways near residential apartments. These "blue shirts" take responsibility for taking and recording each resident's vitals. They also continually distribute snacks to rooms and take responsibility for room checks, hydration at dining room tables through ice water and juices. They work at distributing meals, feeding those residents who need assistance, showering and getting people dressed both in the morning for breakfast, and in the evening for bed. They change sheets and pajamas through out the night and attend to room calls for help going to the bathroom or any other need residents want or need help with. They also do laundry once a week for residents. So, one could say that "Blue Shirts" are miracle workers! This bullet is the best of them all and is my favorite: Every person working at Morning Star Memory, which includes the office personnel, works at being "enough" within themselves as individuals with no ulterior motive for "power". Instead, they foster a personal commitment to showing respect and giving encouragement for empowerment. The result; the overall goal for all is to treat everyone as an equal no matter what individual issues we each might have. Further, I want to note that I have been most blessed to have witnessed the most genuine love from families and individuals who come to visit loved ones, as well as beautiful caring between residents in the way of help or encouragement and witnessed miracles that allow hope, laughter, and courage because of someone's spontaneity and creativity. Obviously, my input here is just barely scratching the surface by not mentioning planned entertainment, planned activities, therapy, and more. I am most grateful to have been living here at time when I needed what "Morning Star - Memory," is. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Schroeder, Resident

We have a comparison of facilities as my husband was in another community before coming here. There is no comparison. MorningStar at Englefield Green is GREAT!!! The staff is wonderful and there are many more employees to care for residents than the other facility he was in. MorningStar at Englefield Green is highly recommended.

We moved our mother to MorningStar at Englefield Green for the final eight months of her life. Everyone on the MorningStar staff provided wonderful, loving care for her. She was treated with dignity, affection, and tenderness. The facility itself is modern, cheerful, and clean. Their kitchen prepares excellent meals and snacks for the residents and their families. If you find yourself in need of memory care for a family member, we can recommend MorningStar with utmost confidence.

When I moved my mom to MorningStar Memory Care last spring, I had my reservations, but soon realed that they were unfounded. The staff is absolutely wonderful, the amount of love respect and care that they show to not only the residents, but also families and visitors is truely remarkable in this day and age. I would highly recommend Morning Star Memory Care for anyone looking for dementia care for a loved one.

If you are looking for an excellent and compassionate home for your loved one that needs a memory care then look no further. I have had my client at MorningStar memory care for the past eight months and I am impressed with all of the staff; from the executive director to the nursing & care providers to the administrative staff. Their level of experience, compassion and caring has far exceeded my level of expectations for facility care. They treat my client like he is a beloved family member. I have observed that treatment extends to all of the people that reside at MorningStar. Check out MorningStar Memory Care Englefield Green for yourself! They have space available in their home and in their hearts!

I am a daughter of one of the first residents, my mom. We are going on a year of residency at Morningstar/Memory Care/ Allumbaugh and I would like to recommend a very wonderful world that Morningstar has provided my Mom and I. I say "we are going on a year" because I feel I enter her home when I enter her world at Morningstar. What I love the most, is the core staff who work "in the trenches" everyday, from the director to care/nursing staff to office staff to kitchen staff to housekeeping staff --- these are all my moms' friends whom she reintroduces me to every visit. The staff wear so many hats and have been trained to jump into any role needed at that moment. I can remember my tears and staff taking over my role of a daughter saying goodbye when I wasn't strong enough that day, I saw my concerns addressed and changes implemented. I can remember that I was very comfortable voicing them as Morningstar developed from a new care center to the experienced care center that they are today. I saw excitement in my moms' eyes as she talked of a special kitchen staffs' children that the staff had shared. Her room is always so clean. I saw hugs staff gave her and knew that was happening when I wasn't there. I love that my choice for a relationship with my mom out in the community is respected and advocated for, as a balanced part of my moms' life that she deserves. And I love that my mom gets to have her own food in her room so I can picture her eating cheese and crackers while watching TV. That is thee greatest comfort to me --- all the pictures of my Mom in her home in her world that I can recall when I'm not there and my Mom still is. Highly recommend!

The staff is what really counts and these folks really care about their residents. From the office and administration, to the care givers, to the kitchen, these people all take pride in taking care of their residents and treating them like they are family.

The staff are wonderful and very caring of the residents. They truly love working with them and are so good. If there is an issue - any kind - they work to take care of it immediately or make sure those that can fix it, do so. Very receptive to ideas and enjoy "help" or participation in classes. My parents (both have Alzheimer's) are there and they get excellent care.

MorningStar at Englefield Green is far and away the best memory care facility in the Treasure Valley! Dad was in another place earlier in the year. We looked for a new place and toured what seemed to be just about every memory care facility in the Boise area. Our very first experience was when we stopped by and asked for a tour. They were very welcoming and not "salesy." Everyone - from executive director and staff through residents - were smiling and happy. It just felt like a better place and gave us a good vibe. The facility is very well designed. The hallways loop, so those residents who walk a lot can always find their rooms. It has bright colors, lots of natural light through their many windows, and a very homey feel. The activities keep life interesting for the residents. This is very important for folks who otherwise feel trapped in a secure facility. They do scenic drives to get outside, they do different crafts and puzzles, and they have several different movies on a state-of-the-art entertainment system, among other things. There is even a nice pool table that residents, staff, and family like to use. The food is outstanding. Enough said. They are always quick to consider the resident's comfort, yet they don't stop there. My family and I had visited my dad on occasion when, out of nowhere, one of the caregivers would bring a treat, a refreshing drink, or even lunch or dinner for us! The absolute best part of MorningStar at Englefield Green is their approach to caring for those with neurological disorders. My Dad's Lewy Body Dementia often led to difficult, aggressive behaviors. The care staff had the training and the wherewithal to re-approach with various non-physical interventions to accomplish their cares. This training should be mandatory for all assisted living and memory care facilities. It also helps that MorningStar has hired quality people who believe in what they do. This facility opened in November 2017. My dad passed away yesterday. I simply cannot imagine my Dad's last days being in any other location. These people are filled with love and it translates directly to how they care for their residents.
