The Northridge

My parents are moving into The Northridge. We put down a downpayment. It's very clean. My mother is very picky about cleanliness and she immediately commented on how clean it was. The apartments are very homey. It's more like a home than a facility feel to the place. The cafeteria looks like a restaurant; it is beautiful. They have an outside seating area and a concrete patio with lots of seating and shade. There are lots of flowers. Everything seems homey. People are friendly. Overall, there's a very nice feel to it. The staff who gave the tour was wonderful. She's been very accommodating.

I toured The Northridge. They were very welcoming. The place was very attractive. It's very clean. It has a lot of amenities. The grounds are beautiful and so are the apartments. The one I'm moving into is freshly painted, has new wall carpeting, has a full kitchen, and two big working closets, and I can have my dogs there. The staff was fine. They're very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The community was spacious and very well-appointed.

Placed a relative there 4 years ago and Northridge was great. Moved this relative to a assisted living two weeks ago only because of the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

The Northridge didn't have what I needed. I needed a washer and dryer in place. They showed me that they have that out in the hallway, but I said no because I need my own. Otherwise, it was very nice. They have a very nice dining room, and they have very nice people there. It was an independent type that I visited, not in assisted living. I've seen the dining room and what they have in the little rec room there. The staff who gave the tour was very pleasant and understanding. The place is very clean and nice, I see nothing wrong. It's an older building but it's kept up very nice.

The Northridge seems very nice, and the senior-living apartments are a fairly good size. The only problem is the doorways are too small for wheelchairs, but the staff member was very nice and very accommodating. She wasn't in any kind of a hurry, and just let me look at four different apartments. She was knowledgeable about the place and kind of pointed out different things. We didn't actually go into the dining room and all that, but it was a glass door so I could still see it. It was nice, and it looked like a fairly nice restaurant, actually. Flowers were on all the tables, and it did not look institutional. You have to wear your mask the whole time of course. There was a whole list of activities, but I just can't remember them. There are transportation services to get you to the doctor, the dentist, and the grocery. It has a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, and they all seemed to be very nice people.

The Northridge had the same thing everybody else had, except it's smaller and not as nice. The whole thing was very sad, and it felt empty and kind of depressing. It was adequate, but I wouldn't recommend it. Instead of having a room for 100 people, they had a room for 15 people. They had a video room with three people in it instead of 30. Everything about it was small, but not really nice, just kind of sad. The woman who took us around was very neutral, wasn't really welcoming, and just gave us the minimum information we needed. She wasn't bad, but she didn't go out of her way to do anything.
