New Perspective Senior Living

Moved our 92 year old mother into the Waters and they have been wonderful in helping her with the transition. She is in specialized care and support/care has been wonderful. We are very happy having my mother at the Waters.

My mom has been living at Sunrise for over a month while healing from a sudden health issue impacting mobility and cognition. When looking at different facilities, it jumped out to us that Sunrise asked just as many questions about Mom’s condition and ways to support her as we were asking about them. The care plan is customized to her needs so she feels comfortable and supported. The whole staff treats Mom with respect and care, as well as the rest of our family! We are very involved in Mom’s care and we’ve gotten to know a lot of the wonderful staff. When adjustments have been needed for Mom, they’ve been happy to pivot and help. And Mom receives her PT and OT on-site! The support and flexibility of Sunrise is helping not only Mom, but our whole family caring for Mom.

My parents were residents of Richland Woods for a few years until their passing. They were both in their 90’s. Our family had such a sense of peace knowing they were in a place of care and compassion. I know they felt that too. The layout of the facility is perfect with the dining area in the middle surrounded by individual private apartments. Also included is a courtyard, and beautiful outdoor space. The whole facility is exceptionally clean and comfortable.

This is a great place! My loved one feels safe and that gives us peace of mind. She feels right at home. The staff is very caring. The building is always clean and taken care of. The meals are delicious. The activity program offers something for everyone.

I’ve lived here for 7 years and just love the view of nature outside my window! I’ve met many nice friends and love breakfast with my friends! I have worked with many therapist through fox therapy and they have all helped me maintain my independence!

My mom has lived at Richland Woods for over three years. She is treated with compassion and dignity every day. The Community has activities geared towards stimulating the mind as well as the spirit. Nutritious, healthy and delicious meals are the norm. This is a safe Community that your loved one can call home.

My mom really enjoys living at Richland Woods. There is so many activities to do. She really enjoys that. She is a creative person. They have crafts and exercise there. That is great because it keeps their mind and body in shape. She enjoys the meals. You can order what is on the menu or get a la carte. The portions are good and they are tasty. I have eaten there with my mom and I enjoyed it. I am very happy that she is there. The staff and care service is caring and does what is needed for the patrons. I like that my mom has made so many friends.

Because of my health, I researched options for assisted living several years prior to needing it. I chose Island Shores. The decision was made because residents here were engaged and smiling, as was the staff. In addition, the facility was very nice. After moving in, I was pleased to find that my assessment was correct. The staff--management and department heads, facilities including dining, housekeeping, conceire, and activities, and health care (caregivers/nurses) are all outstanding. Each department works deligently to provide a wonderful place to live. Response time to inquiries and requests is fast. Although everyone here is great, the caregivers deserve special recognition. Everything else can be great but if caregiving is not great, nothing else matters. They are deserving of special recognition and fair wages. This profession is known for lower wages but it takes special people and should be compensated accordingly. I hope that New Perspective willing take a lead in this goal.

Excercise has been getting me more active than before. I have experienced a difference in my body after the workouts. I enjoy dancing class, engaging with my friends, bingo, and the setting of the building like the fire place

Administration and staff were very welcoming, very approachable, were available to work through adjustment. Staff was able to get mom involved with activities. Mom us comfortable and contest. Made concerns with pharmacy they use staff worked with us to reschedule.

Since living at New Perspective North shore I’ve been impressed with all the people the residents and staff have been so welcoming and friendly with me! I have been enjoying the meals and the food is better than I expected. I’ve already attended an orchestra concert that was excellent and I look forward attended more activities.

I moved into this community and quickly have met so many friends within the community! I enjoy visiting with others at meal time and the food is excellent overall. I enjoy almost all of the activities and my favorite activity is the exercise and overall program is great!

I wasn’t looking forward to the tour. I am very independent and of course, I don’t want to give up my home and what I thought was my independence. I meet my tour guide, [name removed], and she instantly put me at ease. It was very evident as we toured that she is very involved with the residents. Everyone seemed happy to see her and greeted her with kindness and enthusiasm. She explained everything that was available and also explained my choices. I left the tour with a feeling of warmth and also with the knowledge that I wouldn’t be giving up my freedom. I want to thank [name removed]for taking the time to show me around and for putting my fears to rest. I have toured several facilities now and [name removed]is by far the nicest and most knowledgeable director I have spoken to. I have a couple more tours scheduled, but when I am finally ready to leave my home, [name removed]place is where I would feel at home.

We love New Perspectives. My parents went from the hospital, to rehab, to assisted living directly from their home of 61 years. Such a change for them. The first few weeks were tough, forgetting to use their call button for help and falling. The staff at NP provided extra care for them. They really have gotten to know them and have been so patient and kind. Now that they are settled in my parents are very happy with their new living arrangements. They even go to the dining room for dinner. At 89 & 93 they are making new friends and have old friends visiting. Thank you NP.

Easy to work with, friendly family like atmosphere, lovely facilities, great place! I would most definitely recommend The Waters of Oakdale to anybody looking!

Everyone was so warm and welcoming. People would help out even if it wasn't part of their typical duties. Very receptive to addressing any of our concerns. We only had 8 months experience. Mom was in assisted living for 4 months then 4 months in memory care for 4 months before she died in June. Memory care experience was also good. I would recommend New Perspective Eagan to other families.

From the minute my sister and I walked into Sunrise of Roseville for our tour we knew this was where we wanted our mother to be. We did visit other places but ultimate decided on Sunrise. It is a smaller community. It has a very homey feel. Everyone is friendly and caring. Our mom only ended up being at Sunrise for four months before she passed, but the care she received was excellent. The nursing staff was attentive and communicated with us often. They responded to any questions or concerns quickly. My sister and I visited mom multiple times each week and were able to observe her in a variety of situations. We made the facility our home and took mom everywhere in the building and around the grounds and even into the neighborhood. She enjoyed going for walks in her wheelchair! If we had to make the choice again we would definitely choose Sunrise!

As chaplain, I have visited this facility a number if times throughout the months. I continually experience joyous residents and staff. This facility keeps residents busy with a number of activities for residents and their families. I highly recommend this facility.

New Perspective Silvis had a lot of activities, but not a whole lot for our dad. Food was okay, but very healthy usually.

Since moving to New Perspective I have been more socially active than ever before. I have made many friends and enjoy everyone here. I feel the environment that has been created here is very helpful to the things I want to do.
