Northtowne Senior Living sits in Newark, Ohio, on a 7-acre campus with single-story homes and apartments for adults age 55 and older, and you'll see right away they put comfort and well-being first, because the homes are designed for easy access, there are private patios, and the kitchens open right up to the main living area so folks don't feel closed off and about every apartment's got its own laundry room, which saves trips down halls or stairs with a basket on your hip, and they let residents personalize the neutral walls and carpets with their own decorations and furnishings so it feels more like home than a facility and, for folks with pets, they're welcome here, which matters to a lot of people. The campus has both one- and two-bedroom floor plans, all with private entrances and kitchens, and there's always someone keeping the lawns neat and the snow cleared away, plus maintenance and housekeeping take care of repairs and cleaning so folks aren't burdened with chores, which gives more time for the social side of things. Residents can take part in a full schedule of activities-there's bingo, card clubs, billiards, arts and crafts, ice cream socials, potlucks, luncheons, movie nights, and even a Mother's Day brunch and a Father's Day luncheon in the community room, which has been remodeled for these gatherings, so folks end up getting to know each other pretty well and there's plenty of opportunity to stay active with a fitness center, salon and barbershop, and outside walking paths or areas for gardening, though for those who need or want devotional services or education programs, those are offered too.
When it comes to care, the staff at Northtowne has a mission to help residents keep as much independence as possible, but they're ready to step in with home health care, personal care, or assistance with daily activities if it's needed, and they have services for folks who need diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, help with incontinence, and Alzheimer's or memory care as well, so a resident can stay even as their needs change with time. The place offers independent living for those who don't need much help, but also assisted living and full nursing home care if needed, and meals are available-made with quality ingredients-with flexible options because some residents might prefer to cook in their own kitchens, and social activities or wellness programs are always scheduled to keep minds and bodies busy. The community is located near hospitals and doctors, so health support's close by if needed, and regular transportation is available for things like shopping trips on Mondays or medical appointments on Wednesdays, with extra rides available for off-site activities.
There's cable TV, internet, and all apartments have safety features like handrails and sprinkler systems for peace of mind, and every unit has washers and dryers so laundry's convenient, plus guest parking is available for visitors. The community hosts Life Enrichment Programs, keeps things lively with regular socials and educational events, and supports wellness and connection at every stage, and there are long-term care insurance options too if that's what a resident's family needs to think about. Folks who live there or have family there say in reviews that Northtowne Senior Living is pretty good, with a 3.6 out of 5 rating and several mentions of caring staff, so it's not perfect, but it does provide a range of choices for seniors looking for independent or assisted living, memory care, or just a safe place to retire with support available when it's needed, and it's won some awards based on those resident reviews, so a lot of people have found it a good fit for themselves or their loved ones.
