The reason we gave the meals and dining a 3 out of 5 is because - a) meats are overcooked and tough at least half of the time. The exception is seafood which is good; b) small vegetables portions; c) no options for seasoning preferences such as offering mild and spicy versions for specials and a la carte entrees. That said, recently the chef(s) have been more experimental with specials and have had success with the Asian/Middle Eastern dishes and the Coq au Vin. Asian/Middle Eastern has been spicier and the chicken legs in the Coq au Vin were perfectly prepared. More of that would be great!
The Activities here are amazing! So varied, learning, fitness, trips, health, lectures, social events, socializing. So glad we moved here to be part of all this. Special events like Cinco De Mayo, music,
What we really saw that was positive is the staff, from the front end staff, to the director, who is excellent to work with. They have excellent communication. We get emails all the time with any updates. They're close by to medical facilities, so that's been a Godsend. The shuttle service they have has been very accommodating, so we've been very happy with that. They take the residents to doctor appointments, and on outings. Recently they went to the Tulip Festival. My family members love the food. They were at a different place with turnover in the kitchen that negatively affected the food, and now at Cogir of Northgate they rave about the food. They have no complaints and are very happy. The only downside has been the fact that there aren't any sidewalks along 15th NE. So if they're out walking with their electric walkers, they don't feel comfortable going on an outing to the grocery store due to the lack of sidewalks. Overall we've had a good experience, and would definitely recommend it to others.
