About Morning Star Village

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Morning Star Village in Rockford, Illinois, offers two primary levels of support—Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need day-to-day assistance benefit from help with activities of daily living, while those in Memory Care receive programming tailored to cognitive support. Staff members receive specialized memory-care training, and the community is equipped to manage diabetes care. Short-term respite stays are available, giving families a temporary break while ensuring their relatives receive full supervision.

The community is secured and monitored, with an emergency call system in every apartment. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, wound care, and incontinence services. Physicians, dentists, podiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists provide regular on-site visits. Hospice services can be arranged, and ambulatory and laundry/dry-cleaning assistance are built into the care plans. Pet-focused therapeutic programs are also part of the overall medical offerings.

Apartments and common areas include options such as wall-to-wall carpeting, private fireplaces, wheelchair-accessible showers, ground-floor units, and handicap-accessible layouts; however, not every residence contains every feature. Wi-Fi, cable or satellite television, and individually controlled air conditioning are standard throughout most of the building. Residents have access to landscaped outdoor areas, a computer or media center, and guest and resident parking, including uncovered spaces. A gift shop is on site for everyday items.

Three chef-prepared meals are served daily, and the all-day dining program allows residents to eat on their own schedule. Room service is available for those who prefer to dine in their apartments, while a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Guests may purchase meals, ensuring visiting friends and relatives can join residents without leaving the community.

Residents can use an activity center, fitness center with exercise room, swimming pool, and a library and computer lounge. Scheduled programming includes health and wellness classes, organized fitness sessions, clubs and social communities, day trips, off-site outings, and intergenerational events. Entertainment ranges from live music and theater performances to wine tastings, trivia nights, and other social gatherings, providing varied options for engagement throughout the week.

#5 in Rockford, IL

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for providing a safe, caring environment with a range of activities and essential services that cater to the residents' social and medical needs. Reviewers frequently highlight the community's friendly and compassionate staff, clean facilities, and the variety of food choices available, noting the option to order meals off a menu as a particular benefit. The community's effort to involve residents in decisions and activities, promoting social interaction and a sense of belonging, is also appreciated. Many families have noted significant improvements in their loved ones' well-being since moving in, mentioning the positive impact of socialization and the array of activities offered, from exercise classes to field trips and craft sessions.

However, some reviewers have voiced concerns regarding room size, with descriptions of the accommodations as small and mentioning limited storage and appliance sizes. A few reviews also touched on the higher cost of living in this community compared to others, and there were comments about the staff not consistently wearing masks, which raised concerns for some family members. Additionally, despite the abundant praise for the caring staff, there have been isolated instances of dissatisfaction linked to staff behavior and the transition after administrative changes. Nonetheless, these critiques are balanced by the abundant positive feedback regarding the community's atmosphere, its cleanliness, and the vibrant, active lifestyle it promotes for residents.
