North Shore Place offers assisted living and memory care for seniors, with options for independent living and short-term stays as well, and while some people have said the decor feels a bit dated and dark, the facility does give people the chance to make their apartments their own with furniture and decorations from home. Residents get help where they need it, whether that's with daily living activities, housekeeping, laundry, or personal care, and the facility also provides transportation for those who need to get out for shopping or appointments, making everyday life a bit easier. There's a licensed nurse on staff around the clock, and well-trained staff members-including professionals trained in dementia care-are always available, with security systems in place, daily check-ins, and an emergency call system, so it's clear safety and support rank pretty high here.
The memory care program uses custom care plans and activities that aim to support residents with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and there's a secure building layout that reduces confusion and prevents wandering, but still encourages independence when possible, and the staff leads programs like Brain Health University and Walk With Me, which try to keep residents active in both mind and body. The facility has a mix of large indoor and outdoor common areas, a private courtyard, sensory and herb gardens, and a massage and beauty salon for relaxation and personal care, plus onsite beautician services if someone wants a haircut or styling.
Meals are a social focus, with an executive chef preparing rotating menus served in a restaurant-style dining room, and there's also private dining for special occasions, so people can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, and each month brings community events like wine-and-cheese socials, ice cream parties, and popcorn or movie nights in the facility's own movie theater, though some people have mentioned that the seating can get a bit crowded. Activities are a big part of daily life, with options ranging from fitness classes like Pilates to poker, bridge, billiards, and dancing, and residents can take computer classes and use the cyber café with Wi-Fi, or join outings for shopping, lectures, concerts, and theater trips, plus those who like creative activities can join workshops.
Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts, and suites have been designed to offer comfort for people living with all kinds of memory support needs, with a steady schedule of educational, entertaining, and social programs to encourage friendships and connectedness. Both assisted living and memory care residents follow structured program calendars, and staff help people move from one activity to another, which helps keep everyone engaged. There are fitness programs, onsite and offsite devotional services, and access to onsite medical therapy if needed. Concierge-style hospitality offers a hand with those little extras, and overall, the atmosphere aims for warmth and community, though the entryway and lobby can get congested during busier events according to some reviewers, but the dedicated care team stays on hand to help everyone settle in and feel at ease.
