Friend of a relative lived there for almost a year and they took good care of her before she went on Hospice and unfortunately passed. The staff was always friendly and made her feel good when they came to visit. She didnt participate in many activties althoiugh it looked like they has a lot of fun in both activity rooms.

My dad was a past resident of Cogir of Northgate. He stayed there for respite care only for his alcohol-related dementia. The facility is well-kept. It looks clean. The apartments are clean. I didn't have any issues. The grounds are very nice. They have a little back patio area. The staff was great. I didn't have any issues with any of the staff. They were all very, very nice and my dad liked them. They have a lot of stuff all during the day. They'd have like chair yoga and movie nights. And they'd take them on outings. So they went to the Tulip Festival and they took them to the beach. They've taken them to the zoo. My dad tells me he didn't think that they gave him enough food, but he gained 20 pounds. So I think they gave him plenty. He ate like four meals a day. So, he was very, very, filled up.

We paid up front for my mother's care - she was in the facility for 31 days before she passed in May. We have been waiting for 2 months to get a refund for her care and room for a partial month, and 60% of the community fee less $500. (I asked to have the $500 waived since she was there just 1 day over a month, but it was denied.) After 4 requests we still have no idea when we will receive the refund despite assurances it would be forthcoming. Definitely has soured the great experience my mother had at this facility.

Cogir of Northgate Memory Care had a lot of residents, and so residents will have a lot more people to interact with. It's very homey and very friendly. Not too big and fancy. It's small enough that you'll get lots of individual attention, but it's big enough that as a memory care person, you'll have a lot more community and you won't be locked away in a separate area. The room was really nice. It's big and it's comfortable with windows. I found it to be bigger and more inviting than any of the other places I looked at. I love everything about it, but I would like maybe carpeting and more comfortable chairs in the community areas. They have exercises, art things, little places in the hallway where people can sit and talk and play games, movies, and some gardening stuff if people want to. I really like that they have an outdoor area for them to walk and sit outside.
