New Perspective Senior Living

The staff seem to forget about about my loved ones hearing aids at night time and putting them back in in the mornings some days. Activities in the memory care area are kind of hit and miss. Assisted living is very good. I would recommend it to anyone looking for assisted living. The facility has fireplaces with screens for safety during the winter, it is a very cozy place. The nurse does a great job of checking in on my loved one.

Generally speaking New Perspective seems like a nice, warm place. They are currently looking for an activities director, and seem to have some activities for the residents. The response time for requests can take much longer than anticipated. In addition it can take a while to receive a call back after leaving a voicemail for staff. I wish I had known more about assisted living and known more on what to expect. Overall, my loved one is in a safe space and with qualified and some of whom seem to really care for the residents.

We chose New Perspective because of the convenient location as well as the smaller more intimate size of the facility. The apartment sizes are really nice and she is very happy with her choice. I would recommend them to others.

Overall my dad is very happy here and he really likes the meals. There has been a few issues with medications and organization of doctors orders and getting that all sorted out with The Waters. I would recommend them to others looking.

Not many food choice, much like a school lunch program. Fruit fresh vegetable in limted choices. The say they will accommodate special diet but that does not seem to be the case. As far as a "A Place for Mom" it would be nice to have them inform you of the waiver instead of me calling evevryone. Wasted time doing this.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community, however somehow we did get a sense that it was pretty expensive. It is much bigger then the other communities in the area we were looking into. They had a lot of nice activities and people just moving around out and about, however they just could not take our loved one at the time.

New Perspective was a very nice facility. They are cash only and do not take medicaid down the road, so we had to keep looking.

We chose The Waters because we needed a place quickly and they had availability when we needed it. The room sizes at the facility are good, she had a studio and it was perfect for what she needed. I did have to go to staff quite a few times about some training issues, but they did fix the problems when it was brought to their attention. Overall I would recommend to others looking.

We chose The Waters of White Bear Lake because of quality of the facility, the cleanliness, and the value for the money. The convenient location was great for us as well. The apartment sizes are adequate, not too small not too big. When we first started then had a dining center in the evenings where residents could go eat, they closed that and now deliver to the room which is why I gave the food a lower score, it was also not communicated. Turnover of the staff has been an issue here, but I think that is the case everywhere. The staff are wonderful and very engaged, they have been great. I have looked at a lot of places and I would definitely recommend to others looking.

The community is responsive to family concerns and feedback. the community is kept clean and neat and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience

I would let others know that it is worth it. The staff are personable. The community is clean, and small. The staff can tell you all about your loved one. All of your loved one's needs are taken care of.

I thought my loved one was going to get a little bit more help, even in independent living, since they have different levels within that independent category. Other than that, it's been pretty good. It's comfortable, and my loved one has made friends. It's a convenient location. She has a storage locker and a place to park her car. And it's easy to get around in the facility. Everything is close by.

This is a good community. I thought they took good care of my father. The staff was very attentive and we were impressed with them.

Great staff that makes my mom feel better for being there. Good food with variety. Covid is taking its toll on the residents and families and they are trying. Need more communications/updates with families. Should have more driving outings to get them out. Staff answers residents' button with great urgency. Need larger fridges and to be brighter in rooms. Very clean facility and responsive mgt staff. Maintenance is on the ball. Price kind of steep but in line with others in area.

My kids chose The Waters of White Bear Lake because they liked the facility and they thought it was going to be a good fit and that they would provide good care. I have one of the biggest apartments and it is great size, but I do not have a balcony. A lot of the apartments do have balconies. All of the people here are so friendly and helpful, staff members and residents.

I think it is a good facility. My dad got pushed down by another resident and broke his arm. We then had to move him to a new community. The staff is caring. I was not impressed by the activities. I feel they were often understaffed.

The staff at New Perspective were absolutely wonderful. The nursing staff were so fantastic. They were all helpful and friendly. We chose this community because they were able to offer a twelve month spend down and able to get my loved in quickly as he was be discharged from a rehab stay. We liked the care services that they offered and the staff seemed to really care about the residents. There was also longevity with the care staff and we liked that. However, the kitchen was going though turnover at the time, and my loved one wasn't crazy about the food.

Delicious muffins/coffee upon arrival, warm greeting and welcome. We were unable to see an empty room only one that was occupied. Prices were a bit high for our budget. The people seemed to really enjoy the activities.. All kinds of mobility levels are mixed together.

First impressions are very good. We will definitely be considering this community.

We were able to see both sides of this facility. The memory care area had some good features, and w got a rate sheet for the extra care, and are a little surprised with the what that monthly cost was at $6000 in addition to the assisted living rates.
