What this means for your family

While some families report a positive experience, the frequency of reports regarding neglect, hygiene issues, and understaffing is concerning. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend unannounced visits and asking specifically about their current nurse-to-patient ratios and protocols for ensuring residents are fed and changed on time.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1I noticed the facility has undergone recent renovations; how have these updates impacted the daily living environment and comfort for the residents?
  • 2Given that the staffing rating is currently a 3/5, could you walk me through your typical shift patterns and how you ensure consistent, attentive care for residents throughout the day and night?
  • 3We have read some concerns regarding hygiene and room cleanliness; what is your current protocol for housekeeping and ensuring that residents' personal care needs are met promptly?

Key Review Excerpts

This place is a hot mess. It reeks of urine, the physical therapy room is in chaos. Mom would regularly pee her diaper because it was hard to get someone to take her.

Memory care family member · 2025★★☆☆☆

They were short staffed so family members were left to feed and change basically take care of her the whole time she was there. She got a bed sore with no one even working at making it heal.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

Northpoint was truly a blessing to my mother and I. They treated us as family and they took our concerns and handled them as their own.

Clean record — no deficiencies

North Point Skilled Nursing Center shows a pattern of fire safety and building maintenance issues across all three surveys, with recurring problems in electrical systems and fire drill procedures that persist over time. The facility also had deficiencies in care planning, pressure ulcer prevention, and dietary staffing in 2021. While all violations have correction dates, the repeated fire safety and electrical issues suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
