Who We Are

Stewards of Your Next Dream Chapter

At Northcrest, we are passionate about living fully. As the only older adult community in the Ames area to provide the Life Care Promise, here you can enjoy high-quality accommodations and amenities, and the freedom to fulfill your dream life without unnecessary hassles and worries holding you back. Discover an active and engaged lifestyle. Find a friendly and social community. Gain access to the compassionate support and care you may need in the future along your journey. 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 rather than profits. Funds coming into Northcrest are invested back into our community, improving the campus and expanding opportunities for our residents for a full, active lifestyle. We aren’t new at this either. We’ve been serving older adults in Ames since 1965, having the honor of positively impacting hundreds of residents’ lives in this course of time.
