We've eaten with her on many occasions and the food is first rate. Much better than I was expecting from an "old folks home". It's very much restaurant level/quality food. The staff is exceptionally nice and treats her mom with dignity and respect. I especially like how they decorate the common rooms for holidays. The building is clean and well maintained as are yard and ground. Geriatric care would be challenging professional field but this place seems to have found and hired some real professionals. I would, without hesitation, support my own mother and/or father moving into this facility.

After bringing Mom back the next day, she sees what life can be like outside of sitting at home. We now have her on a waiting list, hoping to move in fall of 2015. I cannot comment first hand on the staff or services as we are not there yet, but from what I saw, the staff is friendly, knows all the residents by name and is truly there to make their lives fun and interesting. Will post again after we move in and find out first hand all of the options Lakeview has to offer.

Obviously these decisions were hard, but the staff was so accommodating and supportive.

I can't say enough kind words about the care-givers who were with her over the last two years. I felt like they truly loved her as one of their own family. Numerous times I witnessed them laughing and crying with my mom. It was the best place for her.

My grandpa lived at MorningStar Littleton for a little under a year and I never once felt like my…read morefamily or my grandfather was loved or cared about. Overall, most of the staff made us feel like we were a burden or didn't even acknowledge us. We had several issues with nurses and caretakers. Whenever we asked for something, it was never addressed in a timely manner. There were so many times that we would go to visit grandpa and find him laying in soiled clothes and linens. There were so many times that we would come to visit in the early afternoon and his blinds were still closed, with his breakfast still wrapped in Saran Wrap on his tray. There was no way that my grandpa's hands were able to take off the wrap even if he wanted to eat his food. Frequently, there was feces on his commode, on his pull up bar by his bed, and on his tray. It was dry and had clearly been there for a very long time with no one bothering to clean it up. It saddens me to think that his fears of a "nursing home" were realized during his stay at your facility. My parents and I have many pictures of the disgraceful and unsanitary conditions my grandpa was living in. My dad would come every day, often twice a day, to check on him and make sure he had everything he needed - food, water, clean clothes, clean bedding, etc. because we believe that my grandpa needed extra support that wasn't being offered to him from the staff at MorningStar Littleton. I am not sure why MorningStar Littleton failed so miserably in living up to the promises of dignity, care, and respect that they promised my grandpa, and my family. Perhaps it was because of the lack of staff during the trying Covid days? Maybe the staff lacked sufficient training? Perhaps the former leadership was at fault? I'm not sure what the reason was, but I believe that my grandpa deserved a better last year of his life, and I would not recommend MorningStar Littleton to other families who are forced to place their loved one in a facility like MorningStar. Simply put, I wouldn't want someone else's loved one to be treated the way my grandpa and our family was. Regularly, the staff would be in their offices, either talking amongst themselves or "on their computer", rarely engaging with residents or their families. If we needed anything, I felt like we had to go looking for help. My dad tried to show pictures of the inhuman and dirty conditions my grandpa was living in to one of the lead staff members and his response to my dad was, "I don't want to see any more of your pictures." This staff member was always very rude to our family and I believe my grandfather paid too much money for us all to be treated so terribly by him. He came in to see my grandpa on his last day of life and I wished he wouldn't have. This employee never showed care for my grandpa and I felt it was very disingenuous for him to "care" now. I have felt these feelings for the past year and I BEGGED my parents to move my grandfather to another facility that was smaller, where he would be cared for and receive more attention, but they were afraid it would be too hard on my grandpa to move him. They were afraid to say anything to the staff because when they did, they were either ignored, shut down, or we were afraid that my grandpa would be "punished" and receive less care. I have a close friend who places elderly loved ones in assisted living facilities and every time we discussed the care my grandfather was receiving, she would reply with "That's awful. They should be doing more for him and your family." I feel like our expectations were never met, let alone exceeded. The only thing I felt like MorningStar Littleton did right was the way they escorted his body, after passing, in the casket out of the building with the staff lined up to honor him. But even that left a sour taste in my mouth. MorningStar never communicated to my family that they would treat my grandpa to this meaningful gesture so we weren't able to be there as a family to partake. We had no idea, and my sisters and I were not there to see his body in the casket, escorted out of the building with the respect I believe your staff never gave him when he was alive. I was so sad when my mom told me that my grandfather was honored in this way and I wasn't able to witness it. Don't get me wrong, not everything was terrible. A few of the care takers were kind, considerate, and caring, but would disappeared after a bit. I'm not sure if they left or were reassigned elsewhere? I always say that I want to live my life without regrets, but honestly, I do regret that I didn't fight harder to find my grandpa a better place to live with people who actually cared for him, in a place where it wasn't just their "job".

About a month after we moved my mom in, she fell and broke her hip and spent a couple of hours dragging herself to her phone because the safety beeper didn't work to call someone to her apartment. Then, the managers (long since gone and I don't know how many more they've gone through) tried to tell me it was my mother's fault. I didn't get their logic then and I don't now. Some on the food staff sexually harass the young girls as they "intern". That can't be fun for the girls. They "let" the residents be Activity Directors, without pay, because they can't retain actual Activity Directors. I don't know. If it were up to me, she'd have been out of there after they blamed her for breaking her hip, but it's NOT up to me. So, she's staying there and she likes it and has made friends and all that, but I can't help but keep coming back to the fact that there was a meth lab in my mom's apartment complex... it's disturbing..

If I could give The Granville 10 stars, it wouldn't be enough!…read moreI was the sole caregiver for my Grandmother for almost 5 years when it proved to be just too much for me to handle. The reason why I hadn't gotten her into her own "apartment" or facility, is because of what my mind thought an assisted living facility was going to be. I didn't want my Grandmother to be in a place that wasn't well maintained, or where the staff were abusive in any way etc etc. All the horror stories that one hears about pertaining to elder care facilities. Well, The Granville is ANYTHING but! From the second we toured the location right before the pandemic, I was put at ease. The residents seemed happy, the entire place was decorated just beautifully and extremely clean, and the staff was just so nice! It really felt like home! The help and expertise that they provided to me in getting my Grandmother approved was also a Godsend, because all of the paperwork can be tricky for someone not familiar! My Grandmother's apartment was just so lovely too! She was able to decorate it how she wanted, and there is a little kitchenette area with a fridge and microwave so she can have her favorite snacks. She has been there over a year now and I couldn't have asked for a better location to have provided the utmost care during the pandemic. They even took the necessary precautions one week ahead of time before the Government shut everything down. To accommodate all the residents who now were unfortunately unable to leave their rooms, must have been such an undertaking!! But the staff still made my Grandmother and the other residents not feel neglected and forgotten about. Making little crafts and spending a little more time with the residents so they didn't feel so alone during this scary time. They went above and beyond making sure everyone was kept safe and stayed healthy and just did an incredible job and am so grateful to everyone at The Granville. I could go on and on about the staff being just perfect and everything I could have ever hoped for, for my Grandmother. If you have a loved one and you are feeling apprehensive about locating a place where you can rest easy at night knowing they're being cared for properly and with respect, then look no further. My Grandmother absolutely LOVES living at The Granville! She has made friends, still has her independence and adores the staff! I am eternally grateful for finding the Granville and cannot thank Sara, Joe, Kathy, Jamie, Mary and the rest of the entire staff for providing this location and the care that they give to someone that means SO much to me!

He was in a couple of other facilities that were below par before we found the Granville. From the moment we walked in, we felt that this was home. Sara, the executive director helped us with the transition paperwork and made it totally painless. The employees really make you feel like they are part of the extended family. Joe, Donna, Alicia, are just a few of the great "family" members that always have a friendly smile. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things about the Granville. Since dad moved in I have had to move about 60 miles away and I would love to have him closer, but I haven't found any other facility that can match the Granville. For me, the drive is more than worth it to have him live here. The Granville is always clean, the employees are warm and friendly, activities are available, the meals nutritious, meds are accurate and the apartments wonderful. Since dad has lived here they have spent money on capital improvements to keep the facility in top shape and comfortable for their residence. I would and have highly recommended the Granville to anyone that is needing a place to LIVE and add to their extended "family"!
