Overview of The Cortland Northview

The Cortland Northview offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Grand Rapids, MI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management.

The combination of assisted living and memory care can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, allowing a move between care levels without leaving the community. Guest rooms and suites are available within the community’s housing options.

The community is in the Northview Heights neighborhood, and its Walk Score of 36 places it in a car-dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride.
