All of our interactions have been good so far and we are glad that Morningside is here for us during this time.

Tried 2 other big corporate facilities in the area and Ma Maison was the only one that truly made us feel as though he was really part of a family. Smaller houses with less than a dozen residents each made our experience there during the end of his life memorable. I'm grateful for the care and personal attention my father received and recommend that you consider Ma Maison before shelling out the big bucks to a bigger (and IMHO less "personable") facility. Even my teenage son said that he felt the caregivers at MaMaison were nicer to his grandfather than at the other 2 facilities he lived at over the last 2 years!

My family can't say enough good things about Ma Maison. Mom previously resided in a small private…read moreroom in a large, high end facility with a good commons area and impressive dining facility. After about 9 months, she needed more help and that help was not there (even though she had been moved to the lowest level on the 3 Level care ladder). Yes, she had a pendant/call button but the response was VERY poor. She constantly complained and the family finally monitored the call response and the response time was often hours (no kidding). It was a good place as long as you could handle your own bathroom needs and could get out of bed and were generally able to navigate without help. Ma Maison is a small, home type facility with about 15 residents in each of 3 homes. Bedrooms are situated around a common area that is used for dining, TV viewing, recreation, etc. When not sleeping, Mom was almost always moved into that common area and not left alone in her room. The staff interacted very well with the residents. They have a similar problem with staff turnover that all of the other Assisted Living facilities have but the owner is a "hands on" person who knows his staff as well as the residents. I was a little surprised when I first walked into the place after being used to the more high end facility, but that quickly faded. It's clean and well run and you can't go wrong in placing your loved one there. Overall, I would say our experience was pushing a 5 on a 5 star rating.

My life is now complete because I got 'first to review' at a retirement community on Yelp. I have…read moreto say that I was impressed in every way with Edenwald. When you think of a retirement community you may be one of the people that thinks of a sad place where people are put to be forgotten. That's certainly not the case at all with Edenwald. It felt like a bustling community to me. More than once I thought "I wouldn't mind ending up at a place like this someday." Security wise there is a person manning the front desk at all hours of the day. Ask that person for the guest Wi-Fi password. There is a lobby where you can sit and wait for people where there is also a gift store. I didn't see it but apparently they have a fitness center and pool here. On the activity board they have a listing of all the activities that are taking place on site. They also offer multiple day trips to interesting sites around the area. If you don't want to drive to do errands they will take you places such as Trader Joe's. They have multiple restaurants on site. I got to sample two of them. One of them was a casual cafeteria. The other one was what we called "the pub", which serves alcohol. There is also a fancy pants restaurant across from the pub, but they enforce a dress code. I wasn't doing backflips over the food, but it was much better than I expected and I enjoyed my meals. I thought the nicest thing about the living quarters was that once you go inside and close your door it just feels like an apartment. You have a fully stocked kitchen, which is nice. Even though you have your privacy there are ways in the bathroom and bedroom to alert the staff that you need help. All the amenities in the world wouldn't matter if the people weren't treated right. I have to say I was constantly interacting with friendly people. Multiple times on the elevator the residents would be cracking me up. One man told me that he hoped I wasn't going to the 25th floor because that was his private penthouse. If you have an aging relative who wants their independence but could use the safety/security of assisted-living I can't think of a better place then Edenwald.

The painting had not been done, and when they got around to painting the walls, there was only one maintenance man, and he dragged my furniture across my oriental carpets to paint the walls. There were frequent notes left with long winded notes of work to be done, and why it was being done, etc. One morning I tried to call in my dinner order, and the answering machine said they would call me back. When they did not, I called again, only to find they were closed for that day. Most of the employees were pleasant, and hard working. The mail was delivered late afternoon. I found it best to pick up mail in the morning, when the area was not closed off. Missing having my car in a garage, they said the cars were shoveled out when it snowed, found out there was a charge. The "Fine Dining" is laughable. Any chicken served was a thigh, or leg, which I do not like. Their farm raised fish is loaded with pesticides. With 2k people having dinner each day, they could not prepare each one at the time of order. (Nice photo of a chef with a saute' pan.) With the way Oak Crest was for well residents, I could not take a chance of ever being in assisted living, or any nursing care Oak Crest was running. When trying to move out, the Move Out official ranted and raved at me, I knew I made the right decision. Gave the information requested, along with my badge, and keys to the receptionist, and left the senior prison. Now I cook my own food in less time than trying to order it, or waiting for a table in one of their 'fine restaurants' where food comes our of one kitchen. Many people are happy at Oak Crest, I was not one of them.

Senior living at its best !…read more I have to admit I don't like the idea of retirement communities. I think you have a vision of depressed seniors, alone and bored. Well not anymore. What a great senior living model. You have to look past wheel chairs and walkers. (We will all have challenges in our senior years!) A friendly, loving environment. The friendships that develop. The activities are many. Gym, pool, cards. Volleyball. New residents coming in are made very welcome. The staff are just wonderful. Management to food servers you receive the service and consideration You deserve. Maintenance response is efficient. Their are many restaurants. I've eaten in most and find the food quite good. There are venues to serve the needs of all. Cafeteria style to fine dining. Indoor or outdoor. Even happy hour! The gym is state of the art. I wish the gym in my community was this stellar. My only concern is I won't save enough money to live here!!!!

Overall, the facility is nice, it's clean, and there are activities that help many of the patients. The PT that comes in to help the residents is the best. However, when we applied, they happily came to our residence to get the non refundable "administrative fee" of $4k, paperwork and a few personal belongings. We were new to this, which they knew. We were never given a list of things to bring for my dad to help out, such as how much clothing, and what type of clothing, toothbrushes, razors, shoes etc. We were never told what to expect or how to communicate concerns. They did not shave my dad or groom him on a regular basis. My mom would bring his electric razor to shave him when she visited. Their beds are twin beds, close to the floor but are not hospital beds and don't have side railings. They medicate per a part time Doctor and part time Psychiatrist with no communications to the family. At one point my dad was so over medicated, he couldn't hold his head up and could barely eat. The mental health med, prescribed by the psychiatrist without any knowledge to us, is very strong. It was stopped once we questioned why it was being given. Be prepared to pay additional fees each month. The staff, while pleasant, are always on their personal cell phones not paying attention to patients. The Director has an extremely passive aggressive communication. Anything that happens is never her fault. The blame is frequently reversed or pushed elsewhere. It took us weeks to get a caregivers meeting scheduled. Weeks went by with no communication regarding the meeting. Once the meeting occurred it was the Director and the head nurse. No Doctor, no psychiatrist no other individuals. At this point, we are moving my dad. The Director has made repeated calls to the rehab facility and my mom requesting to evaluate him to bring him back. There are other facilities. This place may work great for some people. It's not for us. We wished to be involved in my dads care and visited many times a week. There just seems to be minimal coverage which is really tough on the staff that is there.
