Northgate Plaza is a wonderful assisted living center. The common areas, hallways, and rooms are light and airy. The staff are warm and welcoming. The residents seem to be enjoying themselves. It's also situated perfectly for people who don't have cars: shopping, restaurants, and movie theaters are just blocks away. I appreciate being able to tour the place. [name removed] was a wonderful guide, answering all my questions and giving me plenty of background information.

Northgate Plaza

The people here are fantastic & the place is kept up nicely. I wouldn’t say change anything. It’s run very smoothly. Of course, the parking can be the pits but very busy area. My evaluate: the parking is very difficult. I've parked over at the Target parking garage when visiting. I've eaten with [name removed] a couple of times and the food is adequate. Nothing I'd write home about but it's difficult to cook for so many people and have everything taste ultra fresh. [name removed] is right, it's clean and everyone

Our family's experience

My father's apt is accommodating and was clean and ready to go upon move in. They even helped set up the cable tv. My only complaints: more frequent showers (only 1x week) and shower asst and daily dress assistance. Staff and residents are very happy, kind, and helpful. There appears to be a wide range of daily activities, offering at least something for everyone. One of the exercise and activities guy, [name removed], is super nice and fun!! Food is good, dining area is nice and accommating, recurring menu avail a

Review for Northgate Plaza

I think staff is caring and professional activities and programming are good the place is great on decorations. Parking and safety are concerning due to area but overall my brother is content. Fountain is beautiful for residents and others to look at.

A warm hearted home

I don't know how I would have found such a wonderful place for my mom without A Place for Mom! I would recommend to others. NorthGate Plaza is a warm hearted home with exceptional staff who truly care about every resident!

Overall a nice community with engaged, happy staff

my mom doesn't participate in any activities but she's been encouraged and they seem to have a variety they offer, so 5 for offerings. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.
