Who We Are

Stewards of Your Next Dream Chapter

At Northcrest, we are passionate about living fully. As the only retirement community in the Ames area to provide the Life Care Promise, here you can enjoy a high-quality lifestyle and amenities, and the freedom to fulfill your life without unnecessary hassles and worries holding you back. At Northcrest, you can live an active and engaged lifestyle. Our residents are friendly and social but understand that some people in a community prefer privacy too.  You’ll gain access to the compassionate support and care you may need in the future. Northcrest is committed to being your community for life. 

We are proud to serve our community as a locally owned and managed nonprofit, focused on care and quality. Funds coming into Northcrest are invested back into our community, improving the campus and expanding opportunities for our residents. We aren’t new at this either. We’ve been serving Ames since 1965, welcoming multiple generations of families along the way.
