Caring Living Environment
Orchard Pointe Glendale is a compassionate assisted living community. It is a lovely facility run by a supportive team of caregivers. The meals are tasty with a variety of choices. There are a variety of activities (music, games, lectures, library, visiting areas, learning center, gardening) to stimulate the residents. The caregivers are friendly, like “Cheers”, a place where everyone knows your name. The residents are checked on and well cared for. Each resident has a button to push for assistance when needed. There is weekly housekeeping. Orchard Pointe Glendale is a happy place and feels like home for residents and visitors alike.

Orchard Pointe at Glendale: Caring and Kind Assisted Living and Memory Care Home
I have enjoyed living at Orchard Pointe at Glendale for the past 3+ years. The employees are carefully selected, well-trained, and professional. They are compassionate and friendly. The environment is comfortable, with pleasing decor and a small town atmosphere. The activities team offers many types of past-times. We enjoy games, educational events, exercise activities, crafts, Bible studies, worship services , outings to lunch, and shopping. Once a week we gather in the dining room for a fun happy hour with professional entertainers. Transportation by car or bus is available for doctors’ visits. Most of the food is made from scratch and very good. The chefs provide a large variety of foods and many choices for each meal. We have access to a primary care provider who makes house calls one day a week. There is a gym available, along with physical therapists who can provide rehabilitation and strengthening services. I am happy to endorse Orchard Pointe as my friendly home sweet home.

Dad's experience
Dad lived in another assisted living place for 8 years. It changed hands and went downhill. We moved him and mom to Morningstar in 2024 and it was so much nicer. Orchard Pointe purchased Morningstar last year and we were concerned about new ownership. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff is very caring and kind. The building has stayed clean and the activities are outstanding. Rarely is there any issue and if something happens, it is resolved quickly. My father is 101 and loves it here. Has made many friends.

been here three years. very satisfied
My wife and I arrived here in [Date Removed]. She has dementia. We lived together for a while. However as her condition worsened she was moved to the memory section. She is well cared for. Her needs are met and she is as comfortable as she can be under the circumstances. I am doing quite well in assisted living. The staff are very friendly,capable and eager to please. I have no complaints and would highly recommend Orchard Pointe Glendale.

Excellent staff, they truly care, but too few of them. Other improvements needed!
The staff to memory care client ratio is too small for my liking. If one client needs extra help, which takes the staff member away for a time, then they are really short on staff. It's minimal staffing all the time and I worry, but I have nothing to compare this to as it is my first experience. The memory care common area reeks of urine. All of the sofas and chairs smell and some are stained. I try not to sit on the furniture when visiting my father. I brought it up but they only said they are waiting for approval. Approval? This should be a regular cleaning scheduled as nearly every memory care client is incontinent! The staff know it's a problem but are waiting for something to be done. The positive is the day to day staff. They are super friendly and so patient with their clients! I watch them handle my father on video and they are so great with him as he is stubborn and when he needs changed, they know just how hard to push him and how playful to be as well. So the care given by the staff, when they are available is excellent 5/5 but there are too few of them at any one time to check to see if my dad needs changed. Hence the urine soaked couches. But the staff is really great! Noble Hospice is the cherry on top. Dad is in hospice care and that gives him another level of extra care for showering and changing and all the little things. They help fill a gap that I did not even expect! Again, I have nothing to compare this place to. I chose it because it was small so that my dad would get plenty of attention but the reality is the client to staff ratio is also lower. Great staff but far too few. I guess we just want more care for our loved ones that is not reasonable even at such a huge expense. But he is safe and has 24/7 care available and it's worth that peace of mind. Orchard Point was recently acquired and still having bugs. Problems getting through on the direct phone to the memory care on too many occasions. But they listen to me and my requests and are always helping me with solutions to problems dad is going through. I was hard on them on the scale but overall and after they get a few things straightened out, I would recommend them.

Makes Mom happy
It's an inviting atmosphere that allows individual freedoms to participate as much as they want. Visitors are encouraged and acknowledged by the staff and invited to join in the activities. They have worked with me to find ways to accommodate the need to limit my mother's access to the outside during the summer months. The staff initiates discussions when they see an issue.

We apologize for the experience that led you to write this review. Our reputation of care and compassion is of inestimable worth. Being more than eager to understand the particulars of your parents’ residency, we sincerely ask if you would call Executive Director Dawn at the community and share candidly. MorningStar strives for service excellence anchored in a host of brand standards, certainly including memory care. We want to restore your trust.  Please give us that opportunity.

Not recommended
My loved one was previously a resident at MorningStar at Arrowhead. I would never recommend this place to anybody. Everything that they tell you upfront is not what happens there and they don't really care about their residents. Only the ones that managed to take care of themselves. My grandma's bed and linens in her closet were covered in feces and so was she. Dried feces on a regular basis. I paid for shower services, which were never done. She was left her in her room every single day, they didn't even try to get her out. They brought her food to the room in Styrofoam. Her silverware went missing, even after I replaced it. Her clothes were never changed. They consistently yelled at her while she laid in bed, for pushing her call button too many times, even though she was in pain. All of this was caught on camera. My grandma lost so much weight and none of her clothes fit. They never had an activities director and didn't really have activities.

Krisona, we are greatly pained by this review. Our perspective on her grandmother’s residency, going back several years, stands in contrast. We worked diligently with your family on interventions, including extra services at no charge, to alleviate some of what you reference. Speaking any further to particulars would breach her personal privacy. Would you consider a conversation with Dawn, our Executive Director? She is eager to reach better understanding of what transpired, and to assure you of the kind and professional responses of our team even in challenging moments. Thank you for that consideration.

Wonderful facility with professional dedicated staff
Note that the 3 on #8 is related to the memory care services. This is a much smaller section of Morning Star and I believe l the costs related to running a top notch assisted living center impact memory care. I recently moved my father to another facility which is 100% memory care and a smaller facility. It saves me thousands annually for similar if not better care.

Caring & Compassionate
My husband was only there 5 days and he passed away . However, in our short time I was amazed with the service and attention we received - such a wonderful loving atmosphere - I wish we had found it sooner. From the initial tour of property, answering all my questions. The staff could not have been more caring and concerned. Everyone went out of their way to learn our names and talk to us to learn a little something about us making me know I made the right choice. Our facility had an activities director and she had 2 other people assisting her. There was also entertainment few times a week. I have told everyone I meet that find themselves in the of this type of facility about Morningstar. Told my friend in Billings MT and she told someone - that person actually became a resident. My only complaint - I did not find Morningstar sooner - truly believe my husband would have had a little more time- at least better quality - rather than sitting in a hospital where they made it clear he was not a priority due to his declining condition

The right place
Great sales staff. Still trying to determine if what they say is what they provide. Memory Care is more specific and staff should have proper training. We picked this community because of the availability/ Special price/ specific memory care training for their staff. Mostly the memory care training advertised.

Thank you for the feedback. We welcome it as another means of strengthening delivery on our brand promise. As it relates to the tender world of memory care to which we are deeply committed, Lavender Sky training (on our philosophy and programming in dementia care) is mandatory for the entire team. These precepts are culled from the best thought leaders and care practices in dementia care, guiding the team in how to support those with  memory impairment. Please reach out to Executive Director Dawn Romayo, who is eager to address specific concerns and explain our Lavender Sky brand standards. We also regularly host a Reflections Family Council as an opportunity to bring questions and ideas to us. To life!

Hoping for improvements
Staff members are very kind and engaging with residents and family at MorningStar Assisted Living and Memory Care at Arrowhead. However, the turnover of employees is concerning. Family and residents get very happy and comfortable with a staff member, then she leaves. The move in process was smooth and good. The cleanliness of the main family room area is very good. Housekeeping of my parents' room is not very good. There is a different cleaning staff every time and they just do basic surface cleaning. I always bring a bag of supplies and clean the toilet, bathroom and floors. Their laundry basket is always full. They often only have one bath towel available. Responsiveness of responsible staff has been poor. Initially, the food was not good quality and my parents were not eating. A few weeks later, the food improved and my parents were very happy. The staff said that a new chef began. I'm happy to see improvement in the food quality. It would be incredible if family can receive a weekly menu and document recommended changes. I've tried a couple times with the menu printed at the front desk and making notations, X's on foods my parents will not eat and then ask staff to provide the document with notations to the cooking staff. It worked twice with requested changes, but that was it. I'm guessing it was confusing for the cooking staff to see the handwritten notations all over their weekly menu. An emailed menu, with change recommendations, might be cleaner and easier for the cooking staff to understand. Activities in Memory Care are very sparse. The residents need to be physically engaged and invited to participate in different activities. Back to routines, musician on Thursdays at certain time, movie Wednesday with old Elvis movies, etc. Routine exercise and fitness is a big favorite, but also very sparse. If someone does not personally go and tell my parents they are invited to join, they will not, due to lack of understanding. The gentleman that did physical therapy with group chair exercises came in and gathered some residents to begin. My mom got very excited and the gentleman said he was sorry, but they did not take my parent's health insurance so he could not work with them. Unbelievable. We pay a high monthly rate for my parents' care. I understand that we moved in during a change of executive staff. I am still hopeful for improvements with structure and consistency.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Arizona’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Arizona’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
