I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother-in-law has moved into Northland Heights Located in North Hill. We like the fact that all the rooms are private. They're all apartment-sized rooms with their own bathroom. This place used to be a Holiday Inn hotel, and it was revised and changed over during COVID. It's only five years old on the inside that way. It's all been renovated. It's very clean. There are no shared rooms. They have different-sized studio rooms that you can get. So that was one nice feature we liked about it. The…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Original staff left. New staff unfriendly, sit behind station and look at their phones. I never see them engaging with the residents. Housekeeping awful, I would have to clean the room and bathroom. Medication not given properly. Cook quit food looks awful. Administration seems confused and not sure how to run an assisted living facility. I am glad that I took my family member out of there.

Northland Heights Located in North Hill was extremely new and extremely well-maintained. The staff members were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The residents seemed very happy. The amenities seemed quite nice. It's hard to find any negatives to talk about. We saw a studio unit, which was the smallest, but it was still quite spacious. It came with a very nice furniture set that was included. The bathroom seemed safe and clean. It had a window. Considering the price point and that being the smallest one, …

My overall tour experience at Northland Heights was very positive. I just felt that the community was very friendly, both with the staff and the residents that I met. It seemed to me from meeting some of the residents that it was a place that they enjoyed living in, and that meant a lot to me. The staff members were very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. The rooms were very spacious. The one that I toured was a single room, and I felt that it gave them enough space that somebody could feel very comfortable in …

Northland Heights Located in North Hill was the one we liked the most out of all the places we visited, but they were eight months out. So, we're looking for something a little bit sooner than that. The rooms were really, really spacious, and that was probably my favorite part. Their rooms were a lot bigger than the other rooms I saw today. They had a lot of amenities, and that was good to see. They had church and Bible studies, which I thought was a good selling feature. They also had transportation for group…

I visited this facility

I toured Northland Heights Located in North Hill for myself. It was very accommodating, but they didn't have any opening at that time, and they didn't know when one would become available. The local area had everything there that a person would require. The building itself was very well laid out. They had a lot of activities that one could join in. It was just a great place. They have everything that you need, and it was a very nice facility. I think the price was very reasonable, too. What I really enjoy…
