The Bungalows at Springfield East

Have no personal experience at the Bungalows East, but it should be known that a group of residents came to our restaurant this evening, had a reservation, showed up in their bus, and (the reason for this review) were escorted by two wonderful ladies, Kasey and Sarah, who took very good care of them. The group as a whole seemed to really enjoy getting out, thanks to those two. If this was any indication of the care given at the Bungalows, it must be a great place to live. Great job Kasey, great job Sarah.

Morningside East is a wonderful place with caring, compassionate people. Residents receive great care and are treated like family. They get wonderful food, fun activities and can enjoy their beautiful courtyard. They are also pet friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Morningside of Springfield East to family or friends.

It's beautiful and immaculate, but that's as far as it goes. When touring for a family member, I asked if they would help her to the dining room and help her with showering. I was assured of both, since it is ASSISTED living. The head nurse assessed, and cleared, my family member as able to live there, but once moved in, this nurse berated her, repeatedly, about what she needed assistance with. (Specifically getting to the dining room and showering.) She was demeaning and hateful and we found out that she's like that with pretty much everyone. The dining room is spacious and beautiful, but the food is no better than a nursing home. A lot about the place was seriously misrepresented. I suggest doing respite with them before committing to renting an apartment to save having to pay the community fee. ($1,000) We are glad we went that route, at least. The reason I even gave more than one star is because most of the aides on staff, who actually assist tenants, are wonderful. They seem to understand that the people living there are paying customers, deserving of respect.
