Morning Star Post Acute

Morning Star Post Acute is a 57-bed skilled nursing facility where seniors receive care after surgery, injuries, or other illnesses and while it offers a wide range of services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy-right there on site with a team of licensed therapists and nurses available around the clock-there have been some inspection issues, such as deficiencies found in pharmacy service standards, nutrition practices, and infection control, including four related to infections and a total of forty-two cited deficiencies noted in reports, so that's something to consider when looking at care options. Seniors here get help with everything from wound care, diabetes, and cardiac support, to neurologic rehab for things like stroke and Parkinson's, and the staff, which includes registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, restorative nursing assistants, and a registered dietitian, work together on individualized care plans and transition support. Morning Star Post Acute serves about fifty residents daily and has both private and semi-private rehab suites, with each room set up with emergency call systems, and there's access to Wi-Fi and large, shared common areas where people can gather if they want. In addition to medical care and specialized therapy, there are nutrition and hydration programs that are tailored to help residents with conditions like diabetes and cardiac concerns, along with adaptive equipment and fall prevention programs for safety, and activities and programs support both health and social engagement, with ongoing housekeeping and laundry services included. This place is part of Bayshire Senior Communities and operates as an LLC, providing services under both skilled home health care and nursing home business categories, and while it has a BBB A+ rating, it isn't accredited through the BBB as of now. Staff turnover, particularly among nurses at a rate of 44.4%, is on the higher side compared to other places but they do have 4.14 nurse hours per resident each day, and residents benefit from regular resident and family meetings and support for physical, mental, and emotional needs, as well as specialized rehab for things like balance, vestibular issues, orthopedic injuries, heart failure, and wound care, including those that need negative pressure therapy for healing. Meals are planned with help from a registered dietitian, and the facility takes care in providing food programs for different needs, though, as noted, there were some citations related to food storage and sourcing. Overall, Morning Star Post Acute aims to create a sense of community and offers a full menu of skilled nursing services, rehab programs, and daily assistance, even as there are some regulatory concerns noted in recent inspections.
