Morningstar of Idaho Falls

We have visited MorningStar of Idaho Falls, where my wife's parents have resided, for many years and have always loved it. But recently we have moved in ourselves, for a time and place of healing, and have learned a whole new (and even better!) side of MorningStar -- one of community and caring! Both staff and residents have been totally accepting of us "odd ducks" and we have found ourselves experiencing joy and love that possibly we did not think we would or could experience again! We will relish in this beautiful community where we feel like so much more than just another set of residents! (And we just love the food here and the whole dining room scene!!!) Thanks especially to Gus and Kimberly!

Great place!! Guys and Kodee are fantastic to work with. The building is beautiful and the food is great!@

I had decided not to do a review after an incident I had at Morningstar this last July because I had hoped it was just a fluke, but recent events have encouraged me to write a review. I do not have a loved one at Morningstar however my daughter was working there and I needed to drop off her keys to her. I walk in the front doors around 9, maybe 9:30pm. No one was at the front so I thought I would just wait. There was a beeping/alarm going off at the front. I sat in one of the chairs for about 5 minutes waiting. That was when an elderly gentleman who lived there came rushing to the front trying to find someone because he said his friend was having a heart attack. He could not find anyone and I got up to try and help as well. I walked all around the front, all the office doors were open but no one was in sight. I tried looking in the halls but they were empty. Finally I called my daughter and told her the situation. She said that she was not on that side of the center (apparently there is an independent living side and a care provider side) but that she would come over and see what was going on. The gentleman thankfully was not having a heart attack but did ask for 911 to be called. She called and the paramedic/firefighters showed up very quickly. This is finally when the front lady showed up and was confused of what was happening. She realized she never received the alert notice and it had been going off for OVER 40 MINUTES. She did seem apologetic but I was very shocked and knew right then I would never be putting my parents at Morningstar. Again I didn't want to cause problems so I didn't write a review. Unfortunately since then I learned that some of the management members are doing illegal things. I cannot elaborate due to legal reasons. I am very happy to see so many positive reviews and I really do hope that all that live at Morningstar are happy and being treated well.

Wonderful facility! Great management! Totally would recommend to everyone!
