The Neighborhood at Vestavia Hills

My mom is so happy at Morningside! The staff is very friendly and made her feel at home from the beginning. She is active all day long with the many programs and activities they provide. It is truly a family atmosphere. We are thankful for all of the sweet people who help care for her.

My mom and dad reside at Morningside of Vestavia Hills in Independent Living and they really enjoy living there. The administration and staff are so friendly and helpful. They really go out of their way to assist in anyway they can. The food is exceptional and the dining staff always make sure mom and dad eat. When they miss them in the dining room, they check on them and make sure they get their meals. Morningside have daily activities as well as family included activities every month which is great! The residents are friendly and seem genuinely concerned about one another. The living quarters are well maintained, and spacious (compared to other places). My parents made a great decision to live at Morningside and I'm really happy as well. Thanks Morningside for providing such a great place to live for my parents.

My mother went to live at Morningside last year after a fall requiring lengthy rehab. As her rehab was ending, we realized that she could not return to her home and had to make relatively quick decisions about her living arrangements. I feel we were God led and blessed to have found Morningside of Vestavia! The transition for my mom and us was difficult as she was very resistant to the move. We have been wonderfully supported by ALL of the staff at Morningside and everyone continues to be supportive as well as patient and caring in their interactions with my mom. I've noticed a real sense of teamwork at Morningside; staff steps up whatever the need. I credit this to the leadership of Executive Director Yarlardo Henderson-Peals. The facility has been freshly remodeled and is very appealing, pleasant and very clean. (Even my sometimes "fussy" mom talks about how good the food is, how clean they keep everything and how kind/nice everyone is to her.) I went through a very similar transition with another family member several yrs ago to a different facility. That facility was new and also nice BUT did not have the sense of community and caring I find at Morningside of Vestavia. Morningside's excellent communication, awareness and positivity in caring for my mom gives me peace of mind--and that is priceless.
