Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has been living at MBK Northgate for about six months now. There were some hiccups during the onboarding because of some miscommunication between staff members, but over time they resolved themselves.”
“Adequate. Was a good budget friendly option. Care team is kind but seems to be understaffed. We receive a lot of synonyms of “that’s not my job” which is not a good experience in interacting with leadership.”
“My father has lived at Northgate Plaza for nine years. He has enjoyed the friendly kind staff and his friends, the comfort of a pleasant apartment, and activities such as music, anagrams, and parties.”
