Restaurant Style Dining Experience
No more meal planning. No more expensive grocery runs. No more cooking just because you have to — and no more clean-up.
At Northern Lakes, we make dining something to truly enjoy. Our chefs prepare delicious, generous, and nutritious meals each day, with alternative options available alongside the featured menu so there’s always something you’ll love.
Relax and savor the experience with full table service from our cheerful Culinary Team. Here, mealtimes aren’t a chore — they’re a highlight to look forward to.
Dining at Northern Lakes Senior Living is also a positive social experience.
Dining at Northern Lakes Senior Living is thoughtfully designed to satisfy both the tastes and dietary needs of our residents — while creating meaningful moments of connection each day.
Mealtimes here are filled with friendly conversation, laughter, and the comfort of familiar faces. No more eating alone. No more quiet, boring meals. Instead, residents gather around the table to share stories, celebrate special occasions, and build lasting friendships.
Whether you’re enjoying broiled walleye with wild rice for lunch or a grilled Reuben on marble rye with potato salad for dinner, you’ll always find comforting foods, local favorites and seasonal features.
In addition to our daily featured meals, we offer an alternative menu with fresh green salads, half sandwiches paired with a cup of chef-made soup, and “hot off the grill” specialty sandwiches — giving residents choices at every meal.
At Northern Lakes, dining is more than nourishment — it’s a daily opportunity to connect, belong, and truly look forward to time spent together.

Testimonials
Northern Lakes has been a Godsend for my parents. My mom needs the added care and my dad can stay with her. The aides, caregivers and staff are so kind, caring, and professional. They provide such good care. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well maintained. It feels homey.
Kathy
Northern Lakes is taking extreme care at keeping my mother safe, comfortable, and entertained. They have found a way to make personal visits, to continue the exercise routines and having the residents work out at their doorway. My mom sits in her doorway and plays bingo with those on her floor for prizes.
