When my parents moved from an apartment at NC I came to understand that the name Northcrest Community was an apt name, as I felt the care and support of true community during that transition. The care my parents received was exceptional and the staff is very loving, kind, patient. They take time to pop into the resident's rooms to visit with the resident in addition to typical care. Rooms were spacious and pleasant. As a couple, my parents had two rooms each across the hall from each other. One of the rooms they used as a bed room and the other a sitting room, so that it felt more like an apartment.

I visited Northcrest Community and the rooms were very nice. I was very impressed with the care center. It was just immaculate and not like a hospital. It was different with wide hallways and was very nice, clean, and friendly. They had games, reading, and coffee groups. It would be a lovely place to be, but I don't think we could afford it. They had an exercise room, and you could do your own laundry or have it done for you. Some of the units had stackable washer/dryers in them. It was very nice. The dining area was lovely, but we didn't eat there. The staff was very nice.

We know a lot of the residents at Northcrest, we’ve been there many times visiting friends and other folks. The staff is very strong, the apartments are spacious, and the food is very good. The common dining room is large and very well planned. They have all kinds of activities and they provide free service in the arts as well as the athletics, transportation to the local grocery stores, and banking services. I really love the people there and I would absolutely recommend the facility.
