Discover retirement living in the Northridge, CA Area at The Village at NorthRidge

I was looking for the best place for my 90+ year old parents to be looked after and give me peace of mind especially since I lived over an hour away. After searching at least a half a dozen places, The Village was a stand out facility. They have everything anyone could want with food, entertainment and of course great elder care. My folks were in the assisted living area, their needs were very well attended to. They had a call button on a necklace The Village provided and probably 90% of the time someone came within 10-15 minutes of them pressing it. And they pressed it ALOT! They also made sure they were eating well, bathed and dressed each day. Diana, one of the LVN’s was great helping with direct medical care and on occasion even picked up my moms meds at the pharmacy for us on her way home. Who does that anymore?? Mary Rose runs a tight ship with the nurses and caregivers and ALWAYS answered her emails personally. This was extremely valuable as she informed me of any change in status of my folks and applied her experience very well determining when and/or if a hospital trip was necessary instead of being spring loaded to send them to the emergency room at the slightest ailment. The Village uses Bridges Hospice care. This is another top notch enterprise. My Dad started failing shortly after he arrived there and both The Village and Bridges teamed up and took care of everything. They got a special bed, oxygen, meds… you name it to them without me having to do a thing. They notified me when the time was getting close so I could coordinate the rest of my family to be with him before he finally passed. You can’t put a price on that kind of compassion. If you want to be rest assured your loved one(s) will be cared for the way you would want to be cared for The Village will live up to those expectations.

I don’t write online reviews, but I’m making a notable exception for the wonderful staff and facilities at The Village at NorthRidge. My mother moved into the residence about nine months ago from another city, and I live out of the country, so we needed a great deal of support and understanding, which everyone at the Village delivered in a big way. From Mary Rose, who heads up all care and takes every one of my calls (even on her day off), to my mom’s caregiver, Diana, to the nursing crew led by Sunita, to my mom’s sweet nurse, Stella, and all of the rest of the caring crew – they are all first-rate in every sense of the word. And most of all, they truly care about the residents’ well-being, which means everything to me and my family when we’re so far away. I could go on and on about how many times Mary Rose and her folks have gone way beyond the call of duty to ease our concerns, and show my mom love and attention when she needed it most. The last few years have been so difficult on all of us, but none more so than seniors living in residences, who have borne a disproportionate burden of the pandemic. I can’t imagine a better group than the crew at NorthRidge to help guide us and our loved ones living at the residence through these tough times, which are hopefully coming to an end. I humbly offer my sincerest thanks to everyone at the Village for the kindness and care you’ve showered on my mother, and unreservedly recommend The Village at NorthRidge to anyone looking for a beautiful, safe, and activity-filled home for this latest chapter of their lives.

I recently visited my aunt at The Village of Northridge. WOW!!! The Staff were friendly, warm, and very welcoming. My Aunt want to introduce me to everyone who works there. The activities available here are endless, there is something for everyone to do. The lunch menu and choices were like amazing, and the food didn't disappointment. Based on my aunt's experience, I would recommend this senior community to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones.

One of the key reasons of making the stay at the Village so thoroughly enjoyable is the opportunity to participate in the many provided activities. An important element is the outstanding staff. A key member is Jenny who demonstrates impeccable caring and total support to the numerous activities provided to us. She is the ‘Go to’ person for solving the many problems of our constituents associated with computers, I phones , I pads and Kindles. Always with a huge smile she demonstrates managerial capability by being ahead of the curve when providing backup to other staff members. In a perfect description, she is irreplaceable.

Visiting this place is superb. They got excellent care with their residents. The place is clean and well decorated which looks like a 5 star hotel. Mary Rose, Diana and Sunita are leading the team in this remarkable place to deliver impressively splendid care to their residents.

I have been living at the Village for almost two years, I have found the staff to be exceptionally helpful and anxious to please, The Zest team which is responsible for activities and trips works hard at planning activities the residents enjoy. For example, yesterday we had a casino night. There was a special buffet and gambling table games which everybody enjoyed. The food has recently improved greatly due to a recent change in the Chef. Everyone is happy with the new meal choices. My favorite employees are Eddie Martinez and Jenny Palotti from the Zest team, I have called upon them numerous times for help with my computer and printer and TV set. They have been able to fix any problem! The environment inside and outside is always clean and attractive, I certainly would recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and happy retirement community .

The Village at Northridge is tops. It has great ambiance and there is none other like it. The girls at the front desk are very receptive, polite and cooperative. The Activities team has a group of unusually talented and well trained individuals under the Director Tristan who knows how to delegate responsibilities and make personnel happy within all of their duties. He is extremely well-versed and should be responsible for the entire operation at the Village. Along with Eddie and Jenny, they make a great team. I was in recovery from a major injury and the only thing that I regret was not finding this place sooner. I would absolutely recommend The Village to anybody that is looking.

Maridy is an incredible person to work with. From the first minute I walked in I felt everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The facility has everything a senior could even think of for this chapter in their lives. The support and follow up was warm and genuine. Unfortunately my parents opted to stay in their home for now. I would highly recommend touring this facility and giving it strong consideration for an assisted living situation.

The Village at Northridge is always well organized and all the staff is well trained and know their residents on a professional as well as personal level. Mary Rose, director of medical, as well as Diana LVN, including medroom staff, are aware of all residents health status and needs. As a outside professional, they are always updating regarding my patients and making the needs of the residents their main priority. Top notch staff and would highly recommend to all my patients, friends, and family to become part of the family at the Village at NORTHRIDGE.

My father has lived there for approx 6 years. I had a good time visiting, playing bingo & going to the movies and having a meal with my father's friend's🤗💜🇺🇸🎈 Schultz God Bless

Not enough big patios so don't feel so closed in and the ones you have are miles from the elevators. Need to update your courts to include new paddle games.

I think the Village is beautiful and offers wonderful services. However, the high cost is causing to seriously hesitate.

There certainly is a wide variety of activities to keep one occupied and interested.

The best facility. The only change I would like to see hours of dining increased Ideally, anytime dining. While the lunch menu is nice, it needs to change occasionally.

My visit was well organized, and it was wonderful to have lunch Jackie Wessin and to get her comments about her stay at the Village.

Cost too much for me

Looking forward to my mom finding a home at The Village Northridge.

Connie did a great job. My brother-in-law decided to move to your location by the end of the month.

Sure hope we will be able to make your community our next home.

This was the first visit for my friend, Sandi. I wanted her to see the place another one of my friends selected. Martha was excellent in every respect. She was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She was a very good listener. Our lunch meal was very nice. Sandi's only negative comment was that there were very few residents around, and of those she saw, few seemed very happy or joyous. To her, they were all just going about their lives without any sense of liveliness. Many were sitting alone. There were few activities going on at the time of our visit, and she was unable to talk to any of the current residents. I'm no psychologist, but I think her reaction was mostly projecting, as she is still coming to grips with the whole idea of selling her lovely home and moving to a facility. Like other first time visitors, I suspect, it was an emotional experience for her. She is still considering her options and her time-table, and she may want to look at other places. She may

That brief tour with Martha, and some accompanying financial info, was exactly what I would have hoped for when I walked in that day. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

the lack of memory care or locked area is a potential problem although we were told there were other sites with such services.

We told our first contact, Don, that we were just looking to see what is available in independent living should we want to give up living in our own home at sometime in the future. We are quite impressed with your community and feel it could meet our needs if we decide to leave our house and the responsibilities that come with home ownership.

Lloyd was excellent, really gets it and gives good advice plus sends you off with things to consider with regards to timing and how to communicate effectively with seniors.

don did a great job of helping us understand your community

I visited The Village ay NorthRidge in April 2019. This four-story building is for the elderly people starting at the age of 55. It has a history of 10 years. There are 275 (one or two bedrooms) rooms from which 84 rooms are designed for assisting living. The monthly rental fee includes: the room cleaning once a week, including bed(s); two meals a day (most tenants choose breakfast and dinner); water & power; a heated swim pool and spa access; Gym access; and cable TV., including daily activities. Pay $13.95 per person for lunch - see the lunch menu. I enjoyed a tasting soup and tender fish as well as a good taste coffee. Dinner starts at 5 p.m., including a complimentary cocktail per person. The rental is based on month by month. A two-month notification is required for ending the rental agreement. There are 102 full-time staff working in the facility that is the largest senior living facility in California.

Everything went well.

My only concern is the price. Also I was that bit concerned that there were not very many people around. I understand because it was a weekend.

We could not have been treated with more courtesy and professionalism then we were afforded at this latest visit. Thank you very much.

Gena has been incredibly helpful as we figure out the best situation for my father-in-law

The Village is a lovely facility. I am looking for a place for my sister. However, we are in limbo right now as she cannot make up her mind as to whether she wants to remain in the valley or move closer to her son and me or just stay in her own house. Plus she is having sticker shock. I enjoyed my visit very much and Stacey was very kind and helpful. If she decides to remain in the valley, The Village would be my first choice.
