More than 400 residents, staff and guests, along with Fullerton Mayor Richard Jones and other city officials, joined us as we unveiled our newly completed community center - Lakeview Hall - as well as the community's lake and surrounding courtyard features.
The $2 million renovation of Lakeview Hall, which serves as Morningside's community center for major events, theatrical productions, musical entertainment and dances, doubled from its original size of 4,500 to approximately 9,000 square feet. The new Lakeview Hall features the Wellness Center, a large professional stage and green room, built-in movie theater speakers and digital recording equipment, a game room for poker and other card games with a 65-inch television screen for WiiT and watching sports, a kitchen area, computer lab with wireless Internet access, outdoor loggia with built-in sound, lighting and seating walls, and an inlaid dance floor for the community's popular dance nights.

The Wellness Center was also expanded to accommodate the latest in health and fitness, and now offers a large fitness area with flat-screen televisions and a separate luxury spa featuring logoed robes, facials, steam room, relaxation/meditation room and massage rooms. In addition, the Wellness Center provides direct access to the outdoor swimming pool.
The redesigned lake, a central focal point for the community, now features two new waterfalls and enhanced landscaping, including a gingko tree forest. Walking paths and a meditation bench overlook the waterfalls and landscaping.
According to E. Justin Wilson, III, executive vice president of CoreCare III, the on-site Morningside partner, the expansion and renovation were carefully designed to incorporate the wishes of the residents.
"We solicited a great deal of input in the beginning of this process to make sure the residents had a chance to express their opinions on the renovation," Wilson said. "For the past 19 years, Morningside has set the standard for retirement living. The renovation is the latest sign of our commitment to always lead the way when it comes to healthy, active aging."
In addition to Lakeview Hall, the Wellness Center and the lake, the community offers elegant dining rooms, library, two clubrooms, billiards room, activities room, cocktail lounge, a soon-to-be remodeled beauty salon, guest apartments and an outdoor patio dining area overlooking the lake. Other outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, nine-hole putting green, croquet court, bocce ball field, horseshoe pit, formal rose garden, expansive lawns, gazebo, resident gardens and a greenhouse.
