We've been here seven glorious months. Moving from another adequate retirement community where we'd lived for eight years, MorningStar Senior Living has enhanced every aspect of our lives and activities including music, exercise, restaurant-quality dining, and a plethora of activities and outings. In our 80s, we really wanted much more physical activity to keep us healthy. MorningStar Hillsboro gives us a warm, saltwater pool we can use anytime. We're in it doing an aerobic routine at least four times a week. On alternate days, we have a professional trainer for chair aerobics in a large gym. The entire building is filled with multi-purpose rooms on every level. That way, no matter how many people have multiple interests, there's plenty of space to enjoy them. A bar and bistro, a large theater for meetings and events, plenty of places for cards and games, an inviting inner garden courtyard for cookouts, and multiple dining areas to accommodate residents and their guests added to our spacious, airy, well-appointed apartments, and we are spoiled for choice. We enjoy our neighbors. Get-togethers are like family reunions where we're always happy to see one another happy and flourishing.

My wife's parents live at Morningstar. We looked at 7 different places when deciding what would work best for them. Morningstar hands down was the best place that had it all. The food is very good, and we love chef Nate! We also liked that they can get her parents places when they'll need that sort of support. Everyone that works there are so good to their residents. We really like the people and the services they offer. It was the best facility that we saw in our evaluations.

I watched MorningStar being built from the ground up and said to my husband before it was even finished that is the place we are going to live and have not regretted that decision. The staff here are wonderful and have become like family to us as well as the residents. We have gracious, caring 24 hr concierges led by the amazing Mika. Administration, Sales, Maintenance, Housekeeping, Culinary, Dining room servers, Life Enrichment and Transportation work endlessly to give us our best life. Come in for a tour and see the wonderful place we call home.
