The reviews for Norse Home present a mixed picture of the retirement community. Many reviewers praise the facility for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and caring staff, with some employees having been there for decades.

One reviewer was not notified of a relative's passing, and communication with management was lacking. Another criticizes the management as ineffectual and self-serving, with inadequate response to call buttons and minimal assisted living services. The food quality receives mixed reviews, with some describing it as overcooked cafeteria food, while others find it satisfactory. Room sizes are a point of contention, with some finding them too small.
