MorningStar Senior Living of Boise

It was a difficult time for all of us, not just Mom. Scary even. There were plenty of unknowns and as plenty of options in our community that would've adequately served her residential needs. But my family was not searching for adequate. We were searching for excellent and that's what we found at Morningstar. We found bright and big and airy apartments. Fresh and yummy menu options. An expansive and peaceful campus for outdoor strolls. Daily activity schedules including live music and classic films. Arts and crafts and outings. And a staff of dedicated individuals all of whom regularly greet me with a grin and a 'good day' and a 'how's your mom?' While I'm here I'll take the opportunity to mention and thank our intake person, Lindsey, who impressed us all with her professionalism, tact, humor, understanding, and support. Eased all of our minds with her knowledge of the system, and her efforts to secure Mom a beautiful apartment. She's continued to offer her support and assistance - invaluable in this transition time. So, here's five stars. Wish it could be fifty.

MorningStar Senior Living Independent and Assisted Living has truly been a blessing for our family. I started noticing changes in my parents, who were then 84 and 87 years old at the time. I started researching and visiting senior living communities, and MorningStar quickly rose to the top of my list. I put our name on their waiting list in 2022 hoping that when the time came, they would have availability. After my mother suffered a fall in her home in 2024, she decided she did not want to return home. I immediately contacted MorningStar and was so grateful they had a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment available for her. My father initially insisted he was not moving, but the reality was he did not grocery shop, cook, or even know how to do laundry. When the movers arrived to move my mother’s belongings, he surprised us all by saying they should take his things too. My parents first moved into the independent living community. The facility itself is beautiful, but what truly makes MorningStar special is the caring and compassionate staff. From management, maintenance, cooks and servers, housekeepers, nurses, and caregivers — everyone we encountered has been friendly, patient, and genuinely attentive to the residents’ needs. Independent living gave my parents comfort, privacy, and a strong sense of community. There were many other couples living there, and my parents quickly developed friendships and routines they loved. The food was excellent, with many menu options available throughout the day. This worked perfectly for my parents, who were never early breakfast eaters but were always ready for lunch around 11:00 a.m. There were also many opportunities for activities and socializing, including happy hour with beer and wine on Thursdays, live entertainment, card games, arts and crafts, puzzles, bingo, and much more. Unfortunately, my mother later suffered another fall that resulted in a brain bleed, and her care needs became greater than MorningStar could provide. She

Absolutely incredible place! The facility is top-tier and exceptionally well managed. You can immediately sense the strong, cohesive team that keeps everything running smoothly. Every staff member is warm, professional, and clearly devoted to the residents. Their commitment shows—everyone there looks genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s a wonderful community where people truly enjoy one another. I highly, highly recommend MorningStar of Boise!
