Morningside House of Ellicott City

My rating is based on my tours only. Too bad my mom did not choose Morningside but because of the attention and my tour experience I wanted to review them. We had lunch there. All the food we tried was very good. They know how to make fries. :) Based on my experience with other assisted living places, I would say the food is about a 7 out of 10. Some of the pairings are interesting, which is why I don't go higher. For example, baked beans were served to us with a seafood salad on croissant. Kind of an odd combo. That said, my my mom loved the beans. The menu is better than other places but also not the best I've seen. Overall the building is quite elegant. There are many places on the first floor to hangout and chill or chat. The lobby is very airy and bright. The grounds are very nice.

My mother’s engagement ring went missing within her 1st week there. Despite all the bells and whistles touted, every time I arrived to visit, it reeked of someone needing a diaper change and residents were plopped in front of an aide’s tv program. As the prices continued to rise, so did the frequency of unexplained bruises on my mother’s face and arms. Once we transferred her to a in-home small assisted living, the bruises never made another appearance & she spent her last years in a home with home cooked meals and true caregivers. All for less to boot.

Great food, staff, and residents! You should check it out!

Our whole family has had a wonderful experience with Morningside House, from the initial welcome all the way to the final goodbye. The staff and admin there demonstrated nothing but care & attentiveness to my father, which was such a comfort to us since he was in such a vulnerable state. I will walk away with a special place in my heart for Morningside House. And although I don’t know if I will ever be in a position in the future to recommend an assisted living facility to anyone in the Baltimore area, if I am, I will happily, enthusiastically refer them to you all.

This is the fourth facility my parents have tried since my Dad’s health issues required them to give up their home. Morningside House is by far the BEST experience we have had and we are so very blessed and thankful‼️ The physical and social aspects are so very pleasant, clean and consistent. The staff are professional, respectful, caring, efficient, supportive and responsive. Highly recommended ‼️
