Caring staff members make
the difference

Northland Village is staffed 24 hours a day by a team of warm, friendly, well-trained care attendants supervised by an RN/Manager. Care attendants assist with residents’ personal care needs, housekeeping, laundry, meals, and more.

The RN/Manager oversees set-up and administration of medications and helps ensure that residents’ health care needs are provided for. When not on site, the RN is on call to answer questions that may arise at any time.
