reviewed on: 02/21/2016 by Pat BoeI am happy to be here in this community. Our chefs and servers are so good. I don't know why I hear complaints. Some people!! :( I couldn't ask for better personnel at the desk and office staff. They are always there to help us. The maintenance personnel is right here when needed. Also lots of activities to keep busy. I have lived here for about 8 years and still feel glad that I chose North star.

reviewed on: 03/07/2016 by Ellen JordanAll of the employees are always nice. They greet you and they really care about you. They treat every resident the same. These people put their heard and soul into their job. I cannot say enough about North Star.
Mom's resided at NorthStar for nearly 2 years...
reviewed on: 01/13/2014 by Frustrated FamilyWe went with Mom and visited numerous CdA/Post Falls independent living communities starting about three years ago. Our initial visits (2 of them) to Fairwinds--now named NorthStar--were impressive, with the staff, activities and food all being outstanding. Mom ultimately chose NorthStar over the others facilities we visited. Fast forward 2 years and the staff is still very nice, but the food quality has declined significantly. Since dining is a major part of the Northstar experience--and a major cost--this is a big deal. There tends to be a lot of very salty and fried foods, and the portions have shrunk steadily over the time she has been there. Waiter service is pleasant yet very long waits for food seems to be the norm. We used to eat meals with her there regularly, but now find it tough to justify when what's served is not unlike a $3.49 Lean Cuisine in both quantity and quality, the main difference being the addition of a small side salad. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible, but it's certainly not worth the cost. The last time we ate there both my Mom and her table mates complained, with one having to send her meal back due to it being cold. We're told that is quite typical now. We hope that NorthStar will address these issues, as the facility has a lot to offer and does most things very well.
