North Star

North Star was exceptional in their organization, staff, and care. Category 8 would be rated a 4, only because it's so expensive that few can afford it. For that reason alone, we had to find another place for Mom to live. Staff encouraged residents to make new residents feel welcome, and that really helped in the transition. I would highly recommend North Star to anyone who can afford it.

The cleaning person left, they are doing their best. Only affects her room. The food is good and they have a good variety of options. They have a lot of activities for the residents to participate in, but our loved one doesn't partake in them. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would definitely recommend this community to others.

We have had a very positive experience so far. All areas of the facilities are always in excellent condition. Very clean and well kept. The level of friendliness and care that the staff has shown has been amazing! Our first experience touring , we saw a lot of interaction between staff and residents, and it was always positive. Smiles, joking, staff knew names of everyone we encountered. Very happy vibe. Dad has had great care, and so far hasn't had any complaints (which is a pretty big deal). The meals are delicious and the variety is wonderful. The only issue we run into is the younger youth that serve are sometimes slow to serve and fairly inattentive. We always get our meals, and they are always good though. The facility offers so many options for all kinds of activities, both in house and in the community. Our dad still won't participate, but that is his personal choice, not anything to do with the facility. Cost is always a hard one to rate. We would probably say 4 on this simply because it is a lot of money each month, and finding that we have to pay above and beyond that for diapers, etc medication, food brought to his room, and any other incidentals, was a bit surprising. However, we do recognize that they are on the lower end for our area, and he is getting excellent round the clock care. I hope this helps! We truly have had an amazing experience with North Star, and we are so grateful that we were able to get him in there. He is happy too. Making friends that he sits with at meals, enjoying a peaceful, clean room, and he loves the food. Thank you for your help in our journey.

It is a great place for your family member. Everyone is so friendly. Staff members are all great!

Moved my mother to Northstar from Arizona. She has been so much happier. The food has been good, friendships have been made very quickly, and she feels like she's home instead of in an "institution." The staff have been stellar at accommodating her needs. They were very patient while she got used to a new place and let her explore on her own and when she needed assistance with anything, they were there with a smiling face and happy disposition. Absolutely fabulous!

The care on the Assisted Living side is excellent. The whole place is clean and organized. Apartments are very nice. The price is about the same as other Assisted Living Facilities in the area that are not near as nice. Highly recommend.

North Star is a blessing! Mom is not just comfortable, she's thriving. We chose North Star because in touring the building and talking with staff, we were confident that she would be in a safe, comfortable and caring environment. Our expectations have been exceeded.

I have been very impressed and pleased with North Star community. I am out of state so only spent a couple of weeks helping my mom to settle in. My brother out there takes care of most of the day to day.

What our family likes the most about the North Start community is the caregivers they have their and their longevity. The quality of care they give to the residents is great. The cost is not over the top at all and we would absolutely recommend North Star to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

My parents are thrilled with everything!! The entire North Star staff is very friendly and go out of their way to address any questions, concerns and/or needs. The food is very good, and there is a good variety of activities. It is especially helpful to have a medical office on site.

The staff are great and very helpful. We also really like that the room has a kitchenette. We would recommend the North Star community to other families based on the experience we have had so far .

One thing our family and our loved one has realized at North Star is that it has that true family like atmosphere and has that sense of community. Everything we have seen on our visits - and we do visit often, has been great. The activities are great and there are plenty of different things and opportunities to do. The meals and dining service so far has been great and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

I've just been at North Star for two weeks, but I feel at home already! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and I've met some very nice people. I love my apartment, the food is great, the staff are awesome. I made the right move for sure.

We are really happy with our experience with North Star so far.

I haven't been here that long, so nothing great and important has happened just yet. The food is excellent. There's lots of variety, and they don't repeat things a lot, which is nice. Right now my apartment has a room with a bay window. But it's on the small side, so I'm just in the process of moving into a little bit larger apartment. They come and clean my apartment once a week. They change the linens, vacuum, dust, wipe things down, whatever we need. The staff are all very friendly, and they remember everyone's names and know who you are. It's been very pleasant.

Looks like a top notch facility

The community is very friendly and provides many interesting activities. We have excellent chefs that prepare five Star meals three times a day seven days a week with an extra nice breakfast buffet once a month. We celebrate all holidays with a special party
