    Clean homey safe; mixed meals

    I live here and overall I'm pleased - the facility is clean, homey and safe, staff and administrators are caring, competent and responsive, and long-term residents seem happy with pleasant roommates and regular activities. Meals and value are mixed: dining rooms are spacious and some food is good, but portions can be small and the operation feels very price-conscious. There's no in-house transport though bus routes and Mosaic House are nearby; it's well suited for functional or memory-challenged guests who need med/appointment help. I'd give it 4/5 and would recommend it to families, with the caveat to confirm meal/service and transport expectations.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is cautiously positive: many reviewers praise the quality of care and the environment at Morris Pace Personal Care Home. Multiple summaries emphasize compassionate, competent caregiving and respectful, dignified treatment of residents. An experienced RN reviewer and other family members highlight that residents’ basic needs—medication management, housing, and meals—are reliably met. Several reviewers explicitly describe residents as happy, long-term residents as satisfied, and some say residents "love it," which points to consistent day-to-day satisfaction among a large portion of the population.

    Staff and management receive generally favorable remarks. Reviews mention dedicated administrators and younger management who are trying to do a good job; staff are described as responsive to families and knowledgeable. There is repeated mention that the facility is responsive when families contact them and that administrators make efforts to meet residents’ needs. The endorsement from an experienced RN reviewer lends weight to claims of competent clinical oversight and appropriate care practices for the type of residents the facility serves.

    Facilities and daily life are described as safe, clean, and homey. Several reviewers call the environment clean and pleasant, with spacious dining rooms and friendly roommates. The site is noted as being large, which some families see as an advantage (more residents, community) while others may view it as a drawback (less intimate). Shared rooms are part of the setup, and that reduced privacy is noted as a potential downside. The facility appears to support independence for some residents and provides access to an associated Mosaic house, which some reviewers appreciated.

    Dining and ancillary services show mixed feedback. Many reviewers report good meals and a pleasant dining experience, but there are repeated criticisms that meal portions can be small and that food spending is minimal—phrased bluntly in one review as "bare minimum food". A few reviewers felt the owner was "unbelievably cheap" and that the facility could improve by allocating more resources to food. Transportation and outings are another mixed area: some reviewers report assistance with appointments and transportation support, while at least one review states no formal transportation is provided and notes the facility's proximity to bus routes. This suggests variability in transportation services or differing expectations among families.

    Activities and social programming are inconsistently described. Some reviews mention activities and residents having fun; others explicitly say there are "no activities". Overall, the pattern suggests that the facility can provide social engagement for many residents, but programming may be limited or uneven, and families seeking robust, structured activities might find it lacking. Related to resident suitability, multiple summaries person the facility as a good match for "functional but challenged" guests—people who need assistance with medications, meals, and housing but do not require intensive memory-care services. Memory lapses among residents are noted, and reviewers warn that the facility may not be appropriate for those with advanced dementia or significant behavioral needs.

    Value and reputation present a split view. Several reviewers call pricing reasonable or say the facility is inexpensive, but others say value for cost is poor because of small portions, minimal spending on food, or the perception that care focuses primarily on basics rather than enrichment. One review references a past scathing critique and a subsequent attempted removal/edit of that post followed by an apology, indicating that at least one negative incident affected reputation and generated concern among reviewers. In sum, Morris Pace appears to deliver solid, reliable basic personal-care services with compassionate and competent staff in a clean and safe setting. However, families should weigh mixed reports on activities, food quality/portion size, transportation, shared rooms, and suitability for advanced memory-care needs when considering this facility.
