Northgate Plaza sits in a friendly North Seattle neighborhood close to Northgate Mall, shops, and restaurants, with parks, houses of worship, and a library all within walking distance, and high-quality medical providers like Pacific Medical Center, Kindred Hospital, Group Health Clinic, and UW Medicine nearby. The community has 120 licensed beds offering independent living, assisted living, memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, and respite stays, and is part of the MBK Senior Living network, which means residents get access to MBK amenities and resources, with care tailored to each person's needs, and support for veterans and seniors displaced by wildfires. Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, and always include emergency alert systems, individually controlled heating, and all utilities except telephone, while some units have kitchenettes or full kitchens. The grounds feature peaceful landscaped gardens, a beautiful courtyard with outdoor seating, and lush trees, and the building welcomes cats and dogs, so four-legged companions are part of the community, which also runs educational sessions and fun social activities every day, including fitness programs, BINGO, Pokeno, bridge, chess, and a garden club, as well as outings to lunch spots, shopping trips, movies, casino adventures, and country drives. Onsite, there's a hair salon, a movie theater, concierge services, Wi-Fi, and high-speed internet, along with scheduled transportation to doctor's appointments, handicap accessible features, and weekly housekeeping, and a dining program that serves nutritious meals with good ingredients. A team of dedicated associates work to support residents' mental, physical, and emotional health, and there's always help for daily needs like bathing, dressing, or medication management, with personalized support as needed, and home care services for extra help or companionship. The community welcomes people from many backgrounds, including retired teachers, professors, law enforcement, veterans, and other professionals, and for the past two years, state inspections have found the place to be deficiency-free, which shows a commitment to keeping residents safe, comfortable, and engaged through a mix of helpful programs, engaging activities, and friendly company.
Caring staff, good food, welcoming
I live here and overall I'm very happy: the staff are kind, attentive and often go above and beyond; the community is clean, bright and well-maintained; dining is restaurant-style and generally delicious; and the activities, transportation and location near shops/park make it easy to stay engaged. A few drawbacks: dining service can be inconsistent at times and there have been occasional communication or staffing glitches (billing/move-in, laundry/salon, rare care mix-ups). Despite that, I'd recommend it for the caring staff, good food and welcoming, active atmosphere.
