Community Reviews
Dads top choice!
reviewed on: 12/06/2016 by AnonymousI had toured many communities with my father and he really enjoyed this one the most out of all of them. His favorite thing about this place was how friendly and welcoming all of the staff where to him. They also offered a great activity program that he seemed to be very interested and looked forward to getting involved in. I personally liked the fact they offered a few different meals for us to try, we really enjoyed them and the overall dinning experience.

reviewed on: 10/02/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerRooms are large. Building is older and has been converted from an existing apartment building, therefore, the rooms are larger than the rooms at Spring Estates but amenities are also dated compared to SE. Price takes that into consideration as it is more affordable. May be right if her finances do not allow any place else just based on size of rooms to allow for her bed.

reviewed on: 07/09/2015 by AnonymousI felt that they were very oriented towards their residents. They were very helpful and caring. They were really responsive to some issues that my mother had. The food is excellent and the parking is good. The location is good as well because it's only about 5 minutes from my house. It is a convenient location and easy to get to. I would definitely recommend the Brookdale Northgate. It is a great facility.

reviewed on: 06/09/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerNot really all that close to the mall off 15th. Like the 'income qualified' apts - maybe discount? Anytime dining great too. Facilities nice. Same color scene every location. All utilities but phone included in rent. Other locations may be a better fit.
My husbands need
