They are the best !!

Honestly the entire staff have made this upcoming transition seamless. Monica, Amanda as well as Julie (who personally interviewed my dog Tipper) have been there every step of the way. I truly can say I have felt heard about every concern, question asked, and feel like they have had my best interest at hand. I never felt pressured to make a decision until I was ready to move forward! Sooo I'm ready to join the community and looking forward to knowing whatever I might need will be met with respect, dignity and the passion to walk on this journey together...

Much to my huge relief, my parents are genuinely happy and thriving in their new community. They even participate in two standing dinners each week with their new friends! It's no exaggeration that there is truly something for everyone with lots of fun activities, special events, excursions, and many opportunities for residents to interact. There is never a dull moment, and every holiday is celebrated with much fanfare. My quiet, introverted mother has blossomed into a quasi-social butterfly. She can't stop talking about the friendly new people she's met. As a nature lover, she loves her evening walks in the beautifully landscaped grounds. My father enjoys his daily visit to the mailroom and loves chatting with Olga at the front desk who never seems to have a bad day. He's a regular at the gym. He enjoys reading each page of the Weekly Happenings and Monthly Monitor. Both parents love using Morningside's app to review the daily menu before heading down to the restaurant for their meals. The wine offerings are impressive and prices very reasonable! They did notice a slight decline in the food quality/menu options throughout the year, but they said things are starting to improve with the new chef and the switch to a new seafood supplier. The app is easy to navigate and makes entering maintenance/work orders/staff feedback a breeze. Whoever designed the app did a great job because the user-interface is smooth and very intuitive. This is a huge compliment since my parents aren't native English speakers! ;-) A friend from one of their standing dinners is transitioning from independent living to memory care later this month. The group plans to invite him to their weekly dinners as much as possible if/when their meal credits allow. I'm sure Morningside will handle the move with the utmost care and compassion. You can be sure I'll be watching to see how the transition goes and will report back next year. TLDR: If you can figure out a way to make it work, don't hesitate to make the move to Morningside. I'm so happy my parents picked Morningside and wish they hadn't waited so long to make the move!

Since my father passed away seven years ago, I have been caring for my mother. However, as her memory declined, I could no longer personally guarantee her safety and quality of life. I researched several memory care facilities throughout Orange County, and none met my requirements until I found Crescendo. From the moment I walked in , I knew it was the right place for my mother. The facility is exceptionally clean, and every staff member is loving, caring and professional. I am also impressed by the variety of daily activities and the high-quality, restaurant-style dining options. I feel very blessed to have found Crescendo Senior Living and appreciate everything they do. Kevin McCorry

There were many safety issues in her bedroom and bathroom. A very large beautiful framed print of hers was stolen off the wall in her bedroom.

And the communicatin, follow through, and resolvement from management regarding our concerns for our moms safety and other issues was very poor. Sadly, there were other issues as well during our moms time here. But Thank God she is now in a safe, clean, wonderful new place Sincerely, a concerned and loving daughter.
