Key Review Excerpts
“Both of my parents were/are there. Their dementia unit is second to none! The nursing staff is compassionate and they love the patients.”
“My husband was a resident at Northgate for the last 25 months of his life. I spent 2 to 4 hours, of almost every day of those 2+ years at his room.”
“I placed my wife at Northgate for 9 days of respite for myself, her primary caregiver. The process of getting her admitted went very smoothly.”
