Key Review Excerpts
“My mom was a resident of the memory care unit at Morningside for two years until she passed peacefully there last year. She was well cared for throughout her stay, and as her mental capacity declined and she often became difficult to deal with, her team of caregivers continued to care for her with love and grace, treating her with dignity and respect.”
“My 81-year-old dad, who has dementia, recently moved into the Memory Care unit at Morningside, and I couldn't be more grateful for the team there. His transition came with major hurdles stemming from his previous residence, but the Morningside team—including Brittany and Brandy, among others—went above and beyond to navigate those challenges.”
“My mother lived at Morningside of Charlottesville for over eight years. It was a beautiful facility and the care was excellent! She participated in activities such as Bingo, Corn Hole, Trivia, Church services, special music concerts, and many events.”
