Morningview Assisted Living Residences sits along the St. Joseph River in South Bend, Indiana, in a renovated rustic-style building that once held a Singer sewing machine factory, which gives the place a certain character you won't find everywhere, and the community offers different levels of care with both assisted living and memory care options. This facility belongs to Sterling Healthcare and stands as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so residents can expect a range of medical and non-medical services like doctor and nurse on call, hospice, dental, homecare onsite, physical, occupational, speech therapies, plus a podiatrist comes to the facility, and you get regular physician oversight as well. The community provides careful medication management and has access to financial assistance, private pay, and Medicaid Waivers for residents who need help with costs.
Morningview's leadership team includes the Executive Director, Director of Nursing, Director of Admissions & Marketing, a Business Office Manager who also handles Human Resources, a Dietary Manager, Director of Life Enrichment, and a Director of Dementia Services, all of whom work to keep things running smoothly. With a Director of Community Data making sure accurate details are managed, the community uses a "Community score" to rate overall quality and holds a 9.4 based on one review so far. Residents live in an environment made to feel comfortable and homey, with housekeeping and laundry covered, and lots of places to spend time, like a spacious community room, enclosed secure courtyard, indoor areas for activities, and outdoor spots for relaxing or gardening.
The memory care section focuses on people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, providing a secure area and staff who know how to help, with round-the-clock support and activities to engage the mind. For everyone, there's a structured life enrichment program that covers emotional, spiritual, and social needs, with activities like dance classes, games, religious services, gardening, a walking club, arts and crafts, outings, and entertainment, all planned by staff who know what older folks enjoy. Meals matter at Morningview, and the dining experience takes center stage with balanced, nutritious options, including special kosher meals and personalized menus that take dementia needs into account, while dining aides help ensure meals arrive on time.
Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, flatscreen cable TV, and complimentary internet access let residents stay connected, while a beauty salon and barber shop, beautician onsite, and other amenities make daily life easier. You'll find a staff that works to be friendly and helpful, giving support for both medical and daily living needs in a setting designed to keep everyone as independent as possible. The community stays focused on safety, accessibility, and maintaining a secure feeling for residents, with handicap-accessible features throughout. Onsite and offsite devotional services let residents keep up with their spiritual practices. With support during any hospitalization, access to a social care network, and the aim to create a safe, active, and supportive environment, Morningview Assisted Living Residences tries to provide a place where seniors and families might feel comfortable and assured.
