Review of Northridge Village
Northridge Village has light, cheerful apartments with a convenient kitchen. There is a "family feel" with residents sincerely interested in being helpful and caring. We appreciate people in the medical fields coming and sharing new information with residents during seminars and other learning sessions that are made available to tenants. The Executive Director ([name removed]) sets a very competent, reachable, warm and friendly tone. The shuttle service for medical appointments and group gatherings is great!

Northridge VIllage is a very professionally run community with compassionate, efficient personnel. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming for residents' demeanors and outlooks. The healthful meals are tasty, nicely varied and attractive and we appreciate the cleanliness of handling foodstuffs. Employees appear to be happy with their employment. Entertainment opportunities are numerous and diverse.

Look elsewhere
Looks good at first but goes downhill from there. Staff is very unfriendly! Environment is very cold and uninviting. Called multiple times to set up a tour of this facility and never got a return phone call, so I decided just to stop in. Not somewhere I will place a loved one. Very disappointed.

Review of Northridge Village
My wife and I have lived here nearly one year and are very comfortable in our apartment. We enjoy the sound proofing between apartments, the occupant controlled heating and cooling, the high ceilings, the bedroom ceiling fans, the provided housekeeping service, the many things for entertainment. Very convenient kitchen design and good laundry facility.

Having lived here for almost a year I am glad I sold my home of 57 years. Didn't realize how much I missed people. We are from all walks of life. It is a very friendly staff and residents. Plenty of activities and great meals. With my own furniture it feels like mine and help from the maintenance crew my worries are gone.

Review of Northridge Village Ames
After having lived here for almost three years, I would highly recommend this community for its overall friendliness of both residents and staff. The activity level is such that all who care to participate can do so if desired. The staff is usually very responsive to all our voiced needs and/or complaints which makes for a friendly environment. Because of the various levels of care, we can feel very confident of all our future needs right here within this little village.

I greatly appreciate being able to live here. Great effort is made to make lives full and happy. The health care staff is great in their support and I do feel that a better trained dietitian is in order. Meals are increasingly more tasty and pleasant but more imagination is in order.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.
