North Star sets the standard
North Star was exceptional in their organization, staff, and care. Category 8 would be rated a 4, only because it's so expensive that few can afford it. For that reason alone, we had to find another place for Mom to live. Staff encouraged residents to make new residents feel welcome, and that really helped in the transition. I would highly recommend North Star to anyone who can afford it.

North Star review
The cleaning person left, they are doing their best. Only affects her room. The food is good and they have a good variety of options. They have a lot of activities for the residents to participate in, but our loved one doesn't partake in them. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would definitely recommend this community to others.

North Star review
We have had a very positive experience so far. All areas of the facilities are always in excellent condition. Very clean and well kept. The level of friendliness and care that the staff has shown has been amazing! Our first experience touring , we saw a lot of interaction between staff and residents, and it was always positive. Smiles, joking, staff knew names of everyone we encountered. Very happy vibe. Dad has had great care, and so far hasn't had any complaints (which is a pretty big deal). The meals are delicious and the variety is wonderful. The only issue we run into is the younger youth that serve are sometimes slow to serve and fairly inattentive. We always get our meals, and they are always good though. The facility offers so many options for all kinds of activities, both in house and in the community. Our dad still won't participate, but that is his personal choice, not anything to do with the facility. Cost is always a hard one to rate. We would probably say 4 on this simply because it is a lot of money each month, and finding that we have to pay above and beyond that for diapers, etc medication, food brought to his room, and any other incidentals, was a bit surprising. However, we do recognize that they are on the lower end for our area, and he is getting excellent round the clock care. I hope this helps! We truly have had an amazing experience with North Star, and we are so grateful that we were able to get him in there. He is happy too. Making friends that he sits with at meals, enjoying a peaceful, clean room, and he loves the food. Thank you for your help in our journey.

Wonderful place!
Moved my mother to Northstar from Arizona. She has been so much happier. The food has been good, friendships have been made very quickly, and she feels like she's home instead of in an "institution." The staff have been stellar at accommodating her needs. They were very patient while she got used to a new place and let her explore on her own and when she needed assistance with anything, they were there with a smiling face and happy disposition. Absolutely fabulous!

The care on the Assisted Living side is excellent. The whole place is clean and organized. Apartments are very nice. The price is about the same as other Assisted Living Facilities in the area that are not near as nice. Highly recommend.

North Star is a blessing! Mom is not just comfortable, she's thriving. We chose North Star because in touring the building and talking with staff, we were confident that she would be in a safe, comfortable and caring environment. Our expectations have been exceeded.

A Great and Caring Place for Loved Ones
What our family likes the most about the North Start community is the caregivers they have their and their longevity. The quality of care they give to the residents is great. The cost is not over the top at all and we would absolutely recommend North Star to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

a nice community
One thing our family and our loved one has realized at North Star is that it has that true family like atmosphere and has that sense of community. Everything we have seen on our visits - and we do visit often, has been great. The activities are great and there are plenty of different things and opportunities to do. The meals and dining service so far has been great and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

A Good Place to Retire
I haven't been here that long, so nothing great and important has happened just yet. The food is excellent. There's lots of variety, and they don't repeat things a lot, which is nice. Right now my apartment has a room with a bay window. But it's on the small side, so I'm just in the process of moving into a little bit larger apartment. They come and clean my apartment once a week. They change the linens, vacuum, dust, wipe things down, whatever we need. The staff are all very friendly, and they remember everyone's names and know who you are. It's been very pleasant.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Idaho regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Idaho regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about North Star

North Star offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored North Star 9.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
