About Us
Rooted in Minneapolis. Driven by Purpose.
For over 15 years, Northgate Plus has been raising the standard for senior living in the Twin Cities — one resident, one relationship at a time.
For over 15 years, Northgate Plus has been raising the standard for senior living in the Twin Cities — one resident, one relationship at a time.
Northgate Plus was founded in 2010 when a coalition of Minneapolis-area physicians and healthcare administrators identified a critical gap: the Twin Cities lacked a truly modern, evidence-based senior living community that matched the quality of care available in larger markets.
The NorthCare Group answered that challenge by assembling a team of gerontologists, architects, and hospitality experts to design a campus from the ground up — one where clinical excellence and human warmth were never in conflict.
Today, Northgate Plus serves 120 residents across four levels of care, with a staff-to-resident ratio of 4:1 and a reputation built on trust, transparency, and measurable outcomes.
Our four core values are not wall decorations — they are living commitments embedded in every care plan, every conversation, and every decision we make.
Every resident is treated as a whole person with a lifetime of experience, preferences, and inherent worth that we are privileged to serve.
Our care protocols are continuously reviewed against the latest gerontological research. We don't guess — we study, test, and improve.
Physical health is just the beginning. We invest equally in emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and social wellness for every resident.
Families are not visitors — they are partners. We build deep, transparent relationships with the people who love our residents most.
Our leadership team brings decades of combined experience in healthcare, gerontology, and hospitality.
