MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena — Local services in Pasadena

After thoroughly researching and touring over twenty senior living communities on behalf of our beloved Uncle (85 years young), it was love at first sight when we laid our eyes on MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena. The apartments are spacious and beautiful and the community spaces (dining hall, bistro, movie theater, gym, salon, multiple lounges, and more) are gorgeously appointed, bright, and cheery. It has the look and feel of a 5-star luxury hotel, with all the amenities to boot! But what makes MorningStar Pasadena truly exceptional is the team. Everyone we have met from the MorningStar Pasadena team has been exceptionally kind and caring. They are all guided by the same mission - to care for their residents with respect, thoughtfulness, utmost caring, positive energy, RADIANCE, and most of all, LOVE!

Since we were moving our Uncle from Central CA to SoCal to be near family, we were of course concerned about the adjustment period of his going from a home of over 30 years to a community. But our fears were laid to rest as the MorningStar of Pasadena team went above and beyond to ensure that the on-boarding process went smoothly. Always wanting the best for our Uncle, we had many questions and requests and the team exceeded our expectations -- always with a smile, quick response, and a "can do!" spirit. Instead of a "Senior Living" Community, they should rebrand as a "Senior LOVING" Community, as they pour LOVE into everything they do!

A heartfelt thank you to Kevin, Sandie, Alexis, Rhonda, Mariah, JC, Cesar, Benjamin, Graciela, Tony, Sheila, Jazmin, Tanya, Joseph, Jazz, Karla, Jasmine, Vanessa, Narine, and the entire team for taking amazing care of our Uncle and making him feel so welcome! As a MorningStar of Pasadena resident, our Uncle is happy and thriving, making new friends, taking exercise classes daily, and participating in many activities. He has a twinkle in his eye and a spring in his step! Thank you MorningStar Senior Living of Pasadena - you are truly...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5-Star Review: A Wonderful Home for My Aunt with Dementia “I can’t say enough about the care and compassion my Aunt has received at Morning Star Pasadena , Ca.. When we began looking for a place where she could thrive despite her dementia, we visited many facilities, but this one truly stood out from the start. The staff here is not only highly trained in dementia care but also remarkably patient, kind, and attentive. They go out of their way to make her feel safe, respected, and cared for every day. Also ensuring me anytime I have a concern of worry . They always offered a solution . Knowing that she’s in an environment that’s designed to support memory care has given our family immense peace of mind. What’s especially wonderful is how they keep her engaged with various activities and therapies tailored to residents with dementia. Whether it’s music, crafts, gentle exercises, or dancing she always has a positive outlet and routine that makes her feel valued and connected. The facility itself is clean, beautifully maintained, and has cozy common areas where residents can socialize. I’m grateful to the entire team at Morning Star of Pasadena for creating a warm, compassionate community that supports not just my Aunt but also our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better home for her, and I would highly recommend Morningstar to anyone searching for a loving and professional senior care facility for their loved one with dementia.” 5 stars, without a...

This is my observations as a visitor of “Reflections Neighborhood” (second floor memory care) when I visit a friend. I find the care staff friendly and organized about their tasks. They work as a team to move and attend to the residents who are less mobile or in wheelchairs. The living room and the activity room are clean and serene. Decor and paintings are changed for occasions. Daily activities include morning reads of historic tidbits, chair exercise, rest time before lunch or living room viewing of online nature programs. After lunch activities I have seen are rest time, singing olde time songs with a musician, bingo, art painting or craft, trivia pursuits. Highly professional musical performances are planned around holidays on the first floor for all Morningstar residents and seats are saved for the Reflections Neighborhood residents if they wish to attend with care staff. Residents are reminded and encouraged by staff to participate in all activities. Care staff are patient and understanding. The activities director, Yolanda, is always upbeat, cheerful, full of energy. The 3 course meals served in the dining room are well presented and in portions appropriate for a healthy diet. Residents get to choose between two entrees. Meal times are peaceful and efficient. My overall feeling about Morningstar when I visit, is that my friend is in a caring, safe, elegant,...
