Morning Star Personal Care Home, also called Morning Star Personal Care II, sits at 2225 Thorndale Drive in Lilburn, Georgia, right near shops, churches, and places for medical care, and what you'll find there is a small, home-like setting with just three senior apartments, where people can choose from single bedrooms, small studios with simple, safe designs, or shared apartments, and every unit includes safety features along with panic and call buttons fitted in every room. The place offers both assisted living and memory care, along with other senior living units, and folks get a wide variety of help, like medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, therapy-including speech and occupational for those who need it-along with special care for conditions like Parkinson's, and if someone needs manual feeding, staff can help with that, too. Morning Star allows pets, has monthly doctor check-ups, wellness visits by a nurse, preventive health check-ups, 24-hour security, and help for caregivers, so families can take a break while knowing their loved one's safe, thanks to the respite care program. Residents get nutritious, chef-prepared meals every day, special diets for diabetes or allergies, and even pureed foods when needed; they celebrate special days with food for birthdays and holidays, too.
With all-day dining, an on-site salon and barbershop, a reading room, a computer area, and a communal kitchen, it feels more like living with friends than staying in a big building, and there's even big TVs in the shared spaces for movie nights. They keep things tidy with housekeeping, laundry, bed making, and apartment maintenance, plus all the rooms come furnished, with utilities included except phones. Morning Star looks out for independence as much as possible, helping with whatever daily tasks someone might need, encouraging people to join in on group activities, therapy sessions, creative crafts, games, and outings with family or the other residents, and there are plenty of chances to go outside, walk in the gardens, or just visit in the common rooms. Transportation's set up for doctors or errands, and there's a concierge service if anyone wants extra help. People who live here get cable, Wi-Fi, phones in their rooms, and the comfort that comes with 24-hour supervision, emergency alert systems, and kind, joyful staff who make the place friendly and warm. Housekeeping and meals get taken care of, there's someone always around to respond to calls for help, and each care plan is made with the resident's needs in mind. With community events, both daily and occasional, and support for physical and mental health, Morning Star tries to make sure folks feel respected and comfortable, keeping a supportive, safe environment in a small, down-to-earth setting. According to the Seniorly rating, the community scores a 3.8, and some have given reviews as high as 9.7 out of 10, and they've won awards like Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star, though the focus always stays on giving a simple, steady place to live for seniors needing a bit of extra help.
