My stay at NorthCrest has been very satisfying. The staff has been very accommodating and friendly. They didn’t make you feel like you were a burden and were most helpful. Every part of the facility was always clean and there was staff around no matter where you were. Everyone made me feel right at home. God bless you all!

Thank you for supporting our mother’s 100th birthday party “at her home”. Everything went smoothly all afternoon – which was made possible by Jodi. I cannot say enough positives about her for this day – but also for her weekly program.

I just want to send a big thank you to all who made my stay comfortable. It was the last place I thought I'd be at this time in my life. but everyone was so kind and friendly. Therapists were great! Maintenance man Randy great! (LOL!) Also the food was great! I am a picky eater but I enjoyed every bit of it! Ate it all! Thank you for the friendliness and making my stay good.

I had four major surgeries at 2 different hospitals before going to Northcrest. Right away I met very helpful and nice people that made me feel comfortable and cared for.  They explained what they were doing and why, while making me feel at home. The people at Northcrest and Care Initiatives do really care. Hats off to all of you!
