New Perspective Senior Living

Our experience has been really good. We chose this facility because the location was close to me and also they had availability when we needed it. We had heard from some friends with parents there that recommended it as well. I am hoping they will be able to use the Minnesota waiver when the time comes, they have not approved it yet but are in the process. The staff is very attentive and friendly to all of the residents. I feel comfortable having my parents here. I would recommend The Waters of Oakdale to others looking.

I would recommend you check out New Perspective for your loved ones. They were willing to work with us in getting my loved one into the community and assisted us in getting my loved one settled into the community. Some of the activities available are bingo, music, crafts, shopping, restaurant visits, and more for the residents to choose from. Housekeeping, the room, and changing of linens are included in the monthly fee. They are also checking my loved one's blood pressure and weight. There is a basic meal available; however, there is an anytime menu that the residents can choose from. They do have specified meal times. There are choices for the apartments that some include washer and dryers, and different layouts available.

What sticks out about New Perspective for us is the fact that it is a smaller facility with less residents which is something we liked. It has been a really good experience so far.

The staff are very friendly. My loved ones tell me all the time how much they love the food. They enjoy the activities, especially bingo and music. They enjoyed working with [name removed], the admissions person. And they really like the The CNAs and housekeepers as well. Really the only negative thing is their follow-through isn't the best at times. I would like to see that improve.

The food is great and they have an extensive variety on the menu. They do go out of their way to make sure residents get what they want which is great. They offer a lot of activities, dad goes to swimming, happy hour, and bible study. It is a great value for the money especially for what is offered, but I do know that prices are about to go up. I would highly recommend them to other families looking.

We really liked New Perspective Senior Living, it was our second choice. The facility itself was beautiful and it looked like a wonderful option.

This is a good place to be. This is a mixed community. They have a lot of activities and things to do here. They have things like bar night and have sing a longs with popcorn and watching sports and getting to know each other. They also have a heated pool, they have a bistro, card games and karaoke night all kinds of things for the residents to do.

we toured this community and it was a nice tour. They answered all of our questions and was very helpful

The community was neat and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The community felt like a family. Overall it was a great experience I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

I loved the community I thought it was great. The food was very good and they offered a good variety. The community was very neat and clean and they kept the grounds

My mom is not as happy with the food as she was at the previous place. She is now at the place she needs to be to get the care she needs. We like the size of the community. My brother liked the size of the common areas and the layout. Sunrise offered the best level of care that my mom needs. We look forward to being able to use the outdoor space and the patio. The community is right next to a park.

My husband and I have lived here for a little over one year. We both like it and pray that we can maintain our health care level which will allow us to stay. The food is good, the activities have something for everyone, and I have even taken the bus to shop. I am taking a physical therapy which is helping me feel better. The thing I really like is the quiet. You never hear anyone in the halls talking. I feel very safe. The care givers are wonderful (some are more caring with a shoulder to cry on or cheer you up when that is what we need). Any maintenance issues are solved in a timely manner and the front desk staff is always helpful. We are always greeted with a cheery smile. The management staff is willing to listen and willing to try and make something better. I have only complained about one tiny thing and it was corrected almost the next day. And one other thing I love, is everyone knows my name.

This applies to about six months experience with the memory care unit. Staff was very caring and effective in maintaining a fine quality of life during the stay. Fine physical therapy and activities kept the patient active in all the important ways. Supervision of the patient's own care was very good. Safety was paramount, so thee were no concerns there.

We are so grateful to [name removed] and her group at New Perspective. Mom is doing well there and she is well taken care of. I love the staff, food, activities, and oh so clean!! I would highly recommend!!!

Last June my Mother was admitted to Sunrise of Golden Valley's memory care unit. At the same time she was put under hospice care as her physical health was rapidly declining. This was an extremely emotional and traumatic time for her and for my family, however, we were thankful to find a place that was willing and able to care for our Mother who suffered with the terrible effects of Alzheimer's disease. With the support of the Sunrise community and North Memorial Hospice staff, we were able to move my Mother within less than a week from her family home of 40 years to her final home at Sunrise. As we held vigil for my mother, we saw that both the day and night shift caregivers were exceptionally compassionate and attentive not only to our Mother’s needs, but to our family’s as well. For this, we will never be able to express our gratitude fully. Sunrise of Golden Valley helped ease the pain of transition for our Mother with love. We would recommend their facility to anyone looking for a warm and home like place for their loved one to live and spend the their final days surrounded by people who truly care.

The process of sifting and sorting all the information from various alternative options for independent and/or assisted living can be complex, difficult to understand, and often traumatic for those whose placement is directly involved. [name removed] at New Perspective was terrific. She was patient, informative, always looking for solutions to problem areas as they were discussed. The result was a very high level of comfort for my 80 year old sister in making these important decisions. A great start to what we hope will be a long-term relationship.

I am writing a review for New Perspective Senior living of Highland Park based on my experience regarding my mom and my stepfather. Also, my dad was there in memory care. Making the decision to move my mom and stepfather to New Perspective was the best decision we ever made! Moving them from their home was hard. After a few weeks they were thriving. No more worrying if they were taking their meds, or wondering if they were eating well. The staff was amazing! They are always helpful and caring. They made friends, played cards, played bingo, went to church. The music they brought in was wonderful. Even if my parents got sick, they staff at New Perspective would call the doctors. If they had to be hospitalized, the staff was always in communication with family and doctors. They were welcomed like royalty when they came home from the hospital. My dad was at a different Senior Living. It was determined that he need memory care. His facility did not have memory care at the time. Knowing how much we loved New Perspective Highland Park, we moved him in. The first day a dear staff member came up to me and hugged me and said, "Don't worry, we'll take good care of him." And boy, did they ever! He was so well taken care of. During the 4 years at New Perspective there have been many times I had to deal with new medications, food restrictions, walkers, wheelchairs, sickness you name it. The staff was always so willing, caring and supportive. All three of my parents are gone now. They were able to stay in their cute little apartments until the end. I feel compelled to let others know that my parents all left this world with such love and dignity from the staff. I take great comfort knowing that they felt like they were home! When my parents first moved in to New Perspective, [name removed], the director said to me. "We are not perfect, we are people taking care of people". I think he was wrong. I think they are perfect!!!!

My dad is currently here and he is now in hospice. From the beginning we were treated with care and concern. It was our first experience with placing a loved one in specialty care and new perspectives north shore was a good decision. The caregivers are very sensitive to my dads needs. Hospice Care added extra care and I feel good about his placement. They really had a great plan and great expectations but God had other plans. What I liked about the staff they know I am not a medical profession but they still considered my opinion. It helped because they always offered hope even in the face of the inevitable. I don’t think any family could go wrong placing their loved one here at New Perspectives Morth Shore!

This community has the best "vibe" of all the facilities we toured. The staff and residents are friendly and welcoming. The nursing and food service staff here is very attentive to my brother - they go above and beyond for him. He is in an attractive 1-bedroom apartment that is fitting his needs. I would recommend this community!

Everything has been going very well for my loved one. We have been very pleased with the facility and their staff team. The friendly atmosphere between the other residents and the staff has made it an easier adjusting period for my loved one. The facility is very light and airy which was nice. They did a good job keeping the area very clean. Like most places, they have a full range of activities. My father is involved with a veteran group. They get together a few times a week and talk which I think has been good for my father. He also is starting to get involved in exercise classes and religious activities. They have church service on site. Occasionally they also take the residents off site to go to the mall or restaurants. I recommend this location to other families.
