About North Star Assisted & Senior Living
North Star Assisted & Senior Living is a welcoming community set on three park-like acres in Coeur d'Alene, offering both independent and assisted living with a genuine home-like feel. Operated by Stellar Senior Living, the community is known for its chef-prepared dining, vibrant activity calendar, and staff who take the time to know every resident by name. For families exploring options, North Star offers a path that can grow with a loved one's needs over time.
Our Care Approach
North Star provides 24-hour supervision and personalized assistance with daily activities, medication management, and care coordination. Residents have access to an emergency response pendant, and the community offers scheduled transportation for medical appointments across the Coeur d'Alene area. Care is designed to adapt as needs change, with the ability to move between independent and assisted living within the same community.
Family Experience
Families consistently describe feeling reassured by North Star's staff — people who follow up, answer questions with warmth, and help ease a transition that is rarely easy. The LifeLoop app gives families on-demand access to activity calendars, participation records, and photos, so staying connected doesn't require a phone call.

North Star is more than a "facility" our loved ones just move into, they have created a beautiful, safe and very comfortable atmosphere for them. We moved our mom in and from day one she was visiting and laughing in the dining area with strangers who very quickly became dear friends. The staff is incredible, they know every single resident by name, and they treat them like they are family. We will never forget all the smiles they brought to our moms face. They have so many activities, outings, holiday parties, and entertainment, one could never be bored They also have beautiful area's to just sit and visit, play cards or games or sit outside on the patio area and soak in the sun with a rootbeer float! Whether it is Independent Living or Assisted, they are still treated with the same love and respect. We know first hand as our mom started on the Independent side and eventually needed more care and moved to the assisted living side. We can't say enough about how great they are. It's very hard moving our loved ones out of their homes, but North Star absolutely does everything to make them feel like they are home.

My mother just moved into North Star independent living. Jessica the family advisor we worked with was so kind and caring and empathetic of this difficult transition. It is a lot for residents and families. The whole staff has been wonderful. I’ve dined with her a few times and the Food is great! She had her first cleaning this week and her apartment looked and smelled lovely. We are very pleased!

My family moved my grandmother there in 2021, I can never say enough about this community. Everything from the staff to the food is nothing but a great experience. The staff made my grandmother feel right at home with kind energy and attitude. Kayla and Jessie made her move in process seamless and easy. All questions were always answered and given with a smile! I adore North Star and I will forever recommend this community to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.
Families love this community. See if it’s the right fit for you.
