New Perspective Senior Living

I really recommend this community! The staff is great and makes sure my mom eats and takes her meds. She is is doing well. SHe does have her good and bad days or times of the day, but that's expected. She is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. She does like to socialize. It would be nice if there some more activities for her stage of Alzheimer's. Other residents are content with watching TV or listening to music. My mom likes to have her newspaper to read each day. The full on Alzheimer's patients are in a different area, which helps. There are only 10 residents in her building which helps a lot. Her room is wonderful. My mom said it doesn't stink there, it smells good so she is happy about that. I would say to make sure you follow up and remind them to do some things sometimes, my mom needs some help with paperwork. It is more expensive than I anticipated, but it is memory care so I expected to pay a little more.

The experience has been great. The staff are very friendly and helpful with everything. The community looks amazing--it looks like a hotel and is very nicely kept. The food is just delicious and they have a wide variety of well balanced food available. The staff here is simply great. They have been extremely friendly and my father absolutely loves them. They even have a shuttle for transportation to and from appointments which is a big help to us and the driver is very friendly as well. Our experience has been great with the Lighthouse’s Memory Care setting. We are happy my mother has been able to stay there.

The administrative services are very helpful in helping to make the right decision on where to put a parent and how to do all the paperwork to get things in order. The ratio of staff to resident is better than most places. They have a nurse in-house for when things go wrong. All of the staff are friendly and helpful to residents and family of the residents. I would highly recommend Lighthouse of Mahtomedi. My mom has been there a couple of months now, the transition from house to resident care has been a very smooth one. I am very happy with the Lighthouse of Mahtomedi.

Mom recently moved into Sunrise of Roseville so she has only been a resident for less than 2 weeks. So far our family is quite pleased with the attentiveness of the staff, cleanliness of the facility and most importantly the care mom is receiving. When chosing a community for your loved one, it is imparative you trust the staff and feel comfortable with the care your loved one is receiving. This community clearly cares about their residents. From the first time we walked into Sunrise, we felt a strong sense of community, neighborhood and genuine friendliness among both the residents and staff. We highly recomment Sunrise of Roseville.

It was with a lot of support and help that getting dad moved from Florida to Wisconsin inn as short of time as we had. Start to finish we had every thing accomplished in six short weeks. Considering the holidays rapidly approaching the weather..... The staff was right on the ball every step of the way. Thanks so much!!

Mother moved to Keystone Living in Eagan to be near me and we couldn't be happier. Her apartment is nice with a nice size kitchen and living room, but the feature Mother is happiest about is the washer and dryer in her unit. The Keystone employees have been so helpful from the first time I toured the place through the move and getting her involved in her new community. Her neighbor showed her around the first day and invited her to the activities. Overall it has been great!

The staff at the Lighthouse did a fine job working with us to place Dad in his new home, the building is a warm and inviteing place and the staff is very freindly. We feel that we could not have found a better place

I got a good feeling the minute I walked into this community. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful. the tour went well and I really liked that the hallways had lots of windows to let the natural light in. there were 2 atriums so that the residents could walk out and get some fresh air too. Mom says the food is good and she can't wait to get into one of those atriums to plant something. This facility is clean, safe and fits into Mom's finances.

Our experience with Island Shores has been a very good one, Mom absolutely loves it here! It is a very nice looking, well kept community, and the staff and other residents are all very friendly. She recently had an extended hospital stay, and when she returned everyone was so welcoming and said they were so happy to see her back, which I know really meant a lot to her! Really the only "issue" we've had is that for a few weeks after she moved in they were almost TOO helpful! Mom was calling them to help with every little thing, which they did happily, but I let them I wanted them to encourage her to be a bit more independent, which they completely understood.

They were incredibly helpful in making the transition to assisted living. Mom had a stroke before getting set up there and they were extremely good working with her despite the trouble that she had at times communicating. They made my dad feel very comfortable moving in there, which means a lot because I know many seniors can be resistant to the idea, but they go out of their way to make it a smooth transition. I would highly recommend Freedom Pointe Minnetonka.

My dad was only there a month, so I don't have a whole lot of history to go on, but during that month before dad passed away. We scoped out around 12 different places and all agreed on Sunrise. I wish dad would have lasted longer.

They really have been really good. It's very clean, and the staff has been really helpful and friendly as well. I think they were pretty reasonable for assisted living. They have been really great if we call or have a need. They have been a help with the insurance as well. The activities are one of the highlights of the place, they try to keep the residents really active. I haven't had any complaints about the food. I feel like it's been a really quality experience, it feels more like a home environment, rather than an assisted living, and they have a nice outside areas with patios and gardens.

Worked with this facility as POA for mother and mother-in-law. Good meals, conscientious service, friendly and caring staff, and competitively priced for base package. Extras like medication administration is pricey, and it seems it is all or nothing, no simple service to just verify mom took her meds every morning or evening.

She liked it here, and made some really close friends. The woman who was in charge of nursing is really good, if a little overworked. She really liked the meals here, but she said they served too much chicken. We moved out of the area, but she liked it here.

Very fiendly staff. We visited Keystone several times over a two week period and were impressed with the staff. We had visited several facilities around the area and Keystone offered everything we were looking for. It has been 6 weeks since my parents have moved in and they are very happy with their decision to move to Keystone.

Roxy K. has a good expierence in the Sunrise community, she talked about the welcoming feel from the staff, how freindly theey are and raved about the acticities they offer (including movie night). I do have to mention that I wish my sister would get a little more care need example more interaction with other residents during meal time. Overall the community is the right place for my sister.

Mom has been at Keystone for nine days now, she is doing great! She physically is fine but her dementia was getting bad living alone. Since the move she seems to have regained her memory some which is so good to see.

For the past 3 yrs. both parents have been residents & we highly recommend this facility. From the time you enter the door, staff & residents come to know you personally & you become a family member. 7 day nursing care catches problems before they enlarge. Parents enjoyed the care givers who checked on them frequently. Have a problem & they have a solution from dealing with depression to adding more laundry service. Parents had no complaints about the food, cleanliness. Very home-like lobby where people gather & share conversation & daily activities, crafts or larger events as senior prom or New Yrs. Eve party. Dogs and cats get a lot of attention. Advice is nearby when hospitalization or hospice is necessary. Coffee, fruit, treats always available in bistro. It may be more expensive than others, but the quality was worth it. Never resented writing the monthly check. 5/5 stars from us

My mother has lived here for over 2 years. My brother and I are both out of state, so we cannot handle issues on a daily basis and need to feel comfortable with the care she gets. Westlake Woods has definitely met (and exceeded) my expectations! The staff is very caring and go above and beyond ...as an example, during the holidays one staffer came in on her day off to decorate the doors of the residents who had not done so themselves. In addition to taking good care of Mom, they have helped make my life easier by purchasing supplies for her between my visits and arranging for routine healthcare services, including transportation and escorts. We had a less-than-satisfactory experience with another facility in Erie prior to finding WW...what a difference a good facility makes for both the resident and the family!

The food is really good. Staff is nice and helpful. Activities director is always trying new ideas. My dad is an independent living so I can't speak for the assisted-living.
