Community Reviews

3.5 Caring staff; consistently inconsistent food.

reviewed on: 05/14/2020 by anonymous

Clean, common areas are well maintained. Large easily accessible TV room, but chairs are huge, and too low to get out of easily, Biggest complaint is food. The Quality is consistently inconsistent. Overcooked veggies and meats. Too few green leafy veggies, too few legumes (beans, peas, nuts). Way too many starches - potatoes, breaded fish, breaded processed food (tater tots and pasta.) Fruit available at most meals/desserts. Unhealthy desserts - sugary puddings. Yogurt rarely, and by request, though the population doesn't generally seem to care or differentiate much to dismay of those who do.. Positive : great, caring staff who work their tails off. Two very skilled and available maintenance men keep things running well considering the age of the elevator and plumbing.

The Atmosphere

The person who showed us around, she was fantastic and a wonderful representative. However the community had had an old person smell and a depressing feeling. It was more like an institutional environment.

Adjusting takes time

reviewed on: 08/18/2017 by Anonymous

My mom is still adjusting to her new home here at Brookdale Northgate. The location is good for me to be able to see her often. I really like that the staff is so friendly and caring and the way they interact with the residents. Mom likes her room it is warm and inviting, and she really likes having her own balcony and the lighting it provides. She really appreciates how clean the housekeeping crew keeps up her room, changing the sheets and all the other jobs she no longer has to do for herself. It does take some time for the maintenance crew to get around to fix things, such as the elevator's light and the button not working properly. It can be confusing for the residents with memory issues. On another note, we are waiting for the new activities director to get the activities (entertainment, movie nights, excursions away from the community) going that they were to provide for the residents.

Mixed bag.

My impression is that they are adequate. The food service is good to very good. The restaurant style service is appealing and my sister praised it. Some of their follow-through is deficient. They use Comcast cable service for TV but it is taking a long time to set up my sister's TV. Her TV is very important to her satisfaction.

Would Recommend

reviewed on: 05/10/2021 by Julie

What we really saw that was positive is the staff, from the front end staff, to the director, who is excellent to work with. They have excellent communication. We get emails all the time with any updates. They're close by to medical facilities, so that's been a Godsend. The shuttle service they have has been very accommodating, so we've been very happy with that. They take the residents to doctor appointments, and on outings. Recently they went to the Tulip Festival. My family members love the food. They were at a different place with turnover in the kitchen that negatively affected the food, and now at Cogir of Northgate they rave about the food. They have no complaints and are very happy. The only downside has been the fact that there aren't any sidewalks along 15th NE. So if they're out walking with their electric walkers, they don't feel comfortable going on an outing to the grocery store due to the lack of sidewalks. Overall we've had a good experience, and would definitely recommend it to others.
