    Northwest Place has been a wonderful place for my elderly parents to spend the last chapter of their lives. The residents and staff are incredibly helpful and we appreciate the extra mile JJ, the director, has gone to make every resident feel supported. The food is excellent and the artwork (frequently made by residents) on display is fabulous. I recommend NW Place to anyone who is looking for a vibrant community of creative minds!

    After a carefully studying the retirement communities in Portland and surrounding areas we chose Northwest Place. It is a small, intimate, friendly community where everyone knows each other. The location is superb for walking, shopping, eating and enjoying local parks. And Northwest Place offers a variety of activities, serves delicious food, and it truly interested in the happiness of its residents.

    I am so impressed with North West Place. I am new to the community and so impressed with the facility, staff & commitment to their residents. Just today when I was visiting, there was a bus departing from North West Place headed for Multnomah Falls for the day, full of residents. The property is BEAUTIFUL, so well maintained and the location is about perfect. And a big shout out to JJ Koll, the Executive Director. Keep up the great work JJ!!

    An impromptu visit to Northwest Place resulted in an opportunity to meet executive director JJ Koll. He provided a personalized tour of this impressive facility. There is a sense of warmth and comfort throughout the home. The positive experience is expressed in reviews are evident. Additionally, the emphasis on providing for the needs of senior residence, was demonstrated by the interest that JJ Koll takes in surveying prospective residents to discover their lifestyle, needs and problems. He provided complete details of all the services provided at Northwest Place. He also included references for companies that can help seniors with challenges, such as downsizing their residence in preparation for moving to a more appropriate living space. From the welcome at the front door, to the spacious outdoor relaxation area, this tour was such an enriching experience; an Invaluable source of advice and information for those who are seeking an appropriate next step in their journey to a more relaxed lifestyle.

    We were very impressed with this facility. The staff were all very gracious and friendly. The property is in a lovely residential neighborhood with big trees, but very close to restaurants and shops. It is very nicely decorated and maintained. The current residents seem happy and very friendly.
