I visited North Port Pines independent living facility, but it's got assisted living as well. It was very nice and I like it. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had. They had Bingo, outings, and transportation to physician appointments. If they need help, there's always somebody available. It was very clean and organized, and I saw no clutter.

My wife has been there over 3 months and she is in late stages of dementia. Frankly, she is tough to handle. Pauline[GM] and her staff do a excellent job...actually going beyond!. Very clean and food excellent. Have thoroughly checked out other "homes"; they don't compare. I highly recommend. Ron G.

My mother was in North Port Pines. What we didn’t like about it was that their three levels of care were co-mingled. It was difficult for those who were higher functioning because there weren’t as many people to talk to, and they were waiting for meals for a long time when the people who needed the extra care were taken in their wheelchairs. The staff was very kind and very nice, the meals were fine, and the care was excellent. It was a locked down facility, which wasn’t pleasant for the people who didn’t need that level of memory care.

We chose Northport Pines Retirement Center for mom because it was clean and the people are nice. The manager was really nice and caring person. Mom has an apartment wherein it has a room with a little kitchenette, a bathroom, and a walk-in closets. The staff are all very nice, they are very caring with everybody, and they would go out of their way to help anybody. I did eat there and the food was very good. They have a wonderful selection of food and they do a very nice job on it. They also have different activities there like exercise classes five days a week. They have card playing and my mom likes to do that. This is a nice place for people to retire.
