We went to see Five Star Residences of North Woods in Kokomo. I think that's where my dad will end up going, mostly because that's what he's going to be able to afford, and it's a really good place. They're really friendly, and they've been really helpful in answering questions. The person who gave us the tour went above and beyond trying to help us understand everything. She has given us a lot of information. Her name is Katrina, and she's done a great job. We were there, and she just kind of went over what the place provides, the cost of everything, the levels of care, and what we could expect while my dad is there. What we've seen is really great. There wasn't any odor; everything was great.

My mother right now is independent, and they are working to help them stay independent for as long as possible. The staff seems really helpful and very nice. The room at Northwood Commons is a much bigger space than the other facility; that is why she chose this one. The staff was very helpful, they were friendly, and they were very good to introduce my mother to the different clients that they have there and talked about getting her involved in some of the activities.They were very interested in what she wanted to do and were willing to add it. The menu is just phenomenal. It’s like dining every night and every lunch time because you can choose what you want off of the menu. And then, if you don’t want what is served, you can special order whatever you want. She liked it. It wasn’t a stuffy atmosphere as a couple of other places. A couple of them were a little more forma0,l and this was less formal.

The visit to Northwood was fine. We talked to the administrator, the person that’s in-charge of showing us the facility and showed us a room and we talked shortly about what our options were but we found out very quickly that he did not qualify. But the rooms have their own bathroom and kitchenette.
They seemed to have a lot of activities for the people living there but we didn’t really get to stay very long.. I saw the room where they had movies and they had church group. There is a hospital 5 miles away. I was disappointed that they weren’t able to help us but that’s not their fault.

I visited North Woods Commons. The rooms were very nice. What I liked about them is they had everything a la carte. You only pay for what you need to pay for. It was an older structure. They didn’t have a lot of activities. The staff was friendly.
There’s the grocery store Kroger nearby. There are restaurants. There are pharmacies out there, but they’re not close to the mall or movie theaters. They would have to travel a little way to go to those things, but the hospital is close.
The dining area was a little confined. They have assigned seating, which is treating the people like children. You want to sit with your friend, but you have to go and sit with someone else. I thought that was a little childish.

We were invited to lunch at North Woods Commons and we had it in the private dining room, which was right next to the open dining room. It was very nice. The food was very good. I was impressed with the menu because it was complete. The rooms and the windows in the rooms were not very big. Their activities rooms were not big either, but they seemed to have places for adequate activities. They had their own full-time nursing staff. What I liked best about them was that they were on a very lovey area. Their outside landscaping was very pretty and it made it very pleasant. I would recommend them to others.

NorthWoods Commons definitely deserves a 5 star rating. I was very pleased with the excellent care my mother received there. All the staff was very friendly and caring....did lots of little extras that mean so much. The faciltity was very nice AND clean. Her one bedroom apartment was the perfect size with a very large bathroom that was easy to get into with a walker or wheelchair. I never regretted moving my mother into that facility. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

My mother lived at North Woods Commons and I found them to be a very caring & compassionate, My mom liked the food and friendly staff. The hallways were decorated by each persons apartment with delightful personal touches. It was important to us that everything was on one floor and that is what we found at North Woods. I have read some of the other reviews and was surprised to see that one of the reviews was exactly what one of the other assisted living communities had mentioned to me. I could not disagree more with their negative comments. My mother was very happy with her surroundings as was the whole family.

I would give Northwoods Commons 5 stars , one for every year my father has lived there. He can be as busy as he wants or quiet in his room, they have outings and programs for every level of energy. He does need the nursing program and it has been beyond satisfactory. His room is clean and since we have had them do his laundry they have never lost any of his clothing. We have eaten with him several times and used the club room for family parties, their food is flavorful and the servers are a joy.

I gave this facility three stars because the conditions were not bad, but they were not the best. The amenities were very basic, and the place seemed sort of desolate. The halls were long and empty, and the rooms were a bit stark. However, they did have a very nice dining room/hall where the residents and families could go, which was very nice. The eating area seemed to being fairly highly populated and the food was actually pretty decent. The property itself was newer, but again, I only gave it three stars because it was a bit generic.

My mother lives at NWC. Her only complaint in the dining room staff. The billing for medical services is always inaccurate. I have to call every month.
