I have a friend whose grandma is living here that I got to visit when I was in town. The facility is clean, modern and very well run. We got to dine in at the cafe and food was actually impressive. Smiles throughout from every employee during our visit. I know it's not the cheapest but they absolutely are worth the price.

Living in here is just like in a big family. Everyone in here is very friendly. We play games together with fun and laughter. We also concern and help each others. There are lots of pleasant and healthy activities like Group Exercise, Tai Chi , Yoga, Line Dancing, Jazzercise, Tone & Tighten, Cards Creation, Floral Arranging, Painting, Ceramics, Bingo, Water Aerobics, etc. Also we may do workouts in the gym or go swimming in the pool freely. Besides we will have Music Appreciation every week in our restaurant sipping on our wine while enjoying the music. I like living in here as it is like traveling on a cruise. We eat three meals a day for free and no need to worry about washing dishes. Our chef listens to our needs. The meals are good although a little salty sometimes. It is almost like in a hotel as once every week our cleaning team would come to clean the room and make beds. On the whole all staffs are very friendly and helpful. Morning Star in Kirkland is truly a super choice for independent retired living

We have been here 8 months and are still grateful that we found this place. A faith based community means that everyone is supported in honoring their faith in their higher power. We have Christians, Jews, Muslims. The staff are super friendly which means they are grateful to be working in a place where most residents feel like a large family group. The new leader, Karen, is super friendly and the staff seem very happy to have her as their leader. Multiple events: movie nights, outside musical entertainment on Tuesdays happy hour are so much fun. People don't have to drive, there is always transportation when needed. The price is expensive but includes everything! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, housecleaning, internet, and staff that are all super friendly. In house Physical Therapy, exercise equipment, heated indoor salt water pool, in house hair and nail salon. Location is another plus: so close to doctors, hospital, shopping, and 5 minutes from Juanita Beach a great place to take a daily walk. Come give it a try!

I very much enjoy coming to visit my grandma. The flowers are always so beautiful and everyone always seems to be happy and having a good time. The food is delicious and the bistro is the gem of the dining experience. Arthur is the friendliest person and takes his craft seriously. I order something different every time to see what fun garnish he comes up with. My grandma is always telling me funny stories about the bistro and I feel happy knowing she has a companion every time she comes to get her glass of Chardonnay.

Morningstar of Kirkland is a wonderful, independent community for seniors. My parents lived here for the past year and needed to move because they need more care. They loved Kirkland so much they moved into another Morningstar community that has assisted living and memory care. Kirkland is very well managed and the staff is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. The building is fairly new, attractive and well maintained. The residents have also created a real community atmosphere. Highly recommend without any reservation.
