Key Review Excerpts
“My mother-in-law spent several months in Northridge Village. The team allowed her to stay in her room while her illness progressed. They were loving and caring every step of the way.”
“Our mom has now been at Maggie’s Place for two weeks and it’s just perfect for her!! The staff is amazing and we just can’t thank everyone enough!!”
“The facility was exceptionally clean and well-maintained which immediately gave me confidence in the level of care provided. The residents were active, engaged, and seemed happy.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
