CriticalCaution
Not a good experience for me there were no activities are very few activities for my wife. Communications were very tough. Our stay at gemstone only lasted 16 days and that's because of my guilt unfortunately [name removed] passed on [date removed] Just not a good experience for the short time we were there very nice people, but not much in terms of activity and keeping the folks mentally engaged other than TV watching.

PositiveReview for Gemstone at NorthStar
So Gemstone was going in kinda blind but did a great job. The staff was great. Better food for my mom. Nurses are on top of things. Nothing really bad except Opus Hospice made things difficult and they didn't organize things at all for my mom
★★★★★
PositiveWould recommend!
What we like the most about Gemstone at NorthStar community is that the staff are professional caring and attentive to the patient.
★★★★★
PositiveGreat facility
They keep us up to date and what’s happening at the facility. Updates us on any issues with my mom. Very friendly staff! Different activities for the residents. Tries to keep them active. Nice community atmosphere!
★★★★★
PositiveA very special community
I can't emphasize enough how much [name removed] life was improved when he moved into the Gemstone home. I would recommend Gemstone to anyone who needs assisted living care. The facility and the caregivers were the best.
★★★★★
PositiveSmall homey environment
It is now named Gemstone and I would give it a 4+ for those wanting a smaller home environment for residents that have limited mobility. If one needs space to walk there is limited room for this. My husband died a year ago shortly after he moved in. I have recommended this place to several neighbors and one is currently living there.
