Community Reviews
Best Value
reviewed on: 11/19/2021 by SteveThey were the best value I found when looking around in the area. It's a very nice community, and the staff are nice as well. I've been pretty happy with the food, and they have a steady program of activities.
A Happy Beginning
reviewed on: 10/20/2015 by Ruthie AlvenslebenI Our family toured 3 separate assisted living facilities. The Brookdale @ Northgate stood out in our estimation. Katri was the one who sat down with us, answered all our questions and patiently showed us all the available apts. She actively sought to find out what exactly our mother wanted in terms of experiences and activities. Mom loved that each unit had a balcony or patio and were very spacious. We all could see the staff interacting with the residents in a very personable and helpful manner. Within several days and with considerable assistance from the Brookdale staff, our mother was happily ensconced in her own apartment and making friends.
Second choice at present.

The Atmosphere
reviewed on: 07/21/2017 by AnonymousThe person who showed us around, she was fantastic and a wonderful representative. However the community had had an old person smell and a depressing feeling. It was more like an institutional environment.
Not really all that clo...
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.
