New Perspective Senior Living

We toured this community and it was to dark there. It was a smaller community and would've worked well. But we didn't like the memory care unit. The staff was friendly and wonderful. She gave us some good advice. She has called and checked back with us that was nice.

[Removed] was very helpful in finding a place for my aunt!! She checked in with us often to see how everything was going and even after we got our Aunt settled in!! I would definitely recommend this to everyone looking for a place for a loved one!!

Very pleased. Everyone is friendly, staff and residents. The food is good with a wide variety. The place is well kept.

Our tour of this community was wonderful, the staff were great they showed us all around, answered all our questions and it would have been a great fit for my parents except that my mom would need a mobile lift as she is immobile and they do not have one here so we would have to purchase one on our own for her to be able to live there

The staff here is wonderful! They work so hard and they are really nice and helpful. I have to give them a lot of credit. No complaints. Love the water therapy. I like the food. They do a great job. It is even getting better. I'm glad I came!

I'm happy with everything that people have done for me. I have signed up for all sorts of activities and they have a wheelchair lift on the bus for me! I have made a lot of friends here. I have had a lot of help from the staff here in getting settled and things figured out with my insurance and other things. So glad I am here. Would recommend!

Over all this is a pretty good place, but it is costly. I am in assisted living and my wife is in memory care. I wish it did not not have forced air heating.

I think this place is wonderful! It has a lot of activities. People are wonderful! I am so happy to be here! There are so many activities and it would be great if more residents would participate. There are so many things to do to keep us occupied and spending time with others!! It offers so much without charge. Crafts, exercise, trips, entertainment. I enjoy it.

I have lived here for almost four months and absolutely love it! Everyone working here has been great. They always have a listening ear for whatever you need or don't quite understand. The facility is beautiful, the meals are very good. The chef is great and takes an interest in the needs of those he is cooking for! There are may activities to be involved with depending on your interests and needs. I look forward to enjoying New Perspective In the coming years and look forward to meeting more new residents. They will love it, too!

This facility was just beautiful! Our primary concern, however, was the price of the facility. We also found that the facility seemed a little empty, almost like a ghost town. In the end, we did not end up choosing this facility for my loved one for these reasons.

Everything is going great! The staff are sure to take care of my father and they make sure that he is comfortable. The facility is also very nice and clean. For the most part, we have no complaints about New Perspective!

The big dog is a loving and caring highly trained service animal providing me with security in my health care watching over my blood sugar's. I know for a fact the big dog gives a lot of joy to a number of residences at NP of Roseville as a trained therapy dog. I feel the alarmist that is having problems with Gus should of first talked to his handler in turn resolving any problems instead of involving Management and others at NP of Roseville and creating negative reviews and ideas about Gus. I welcome any residents and visitors to inform me of any difficulties or blessings they may have towards Gus Thank You [Removed]

The building is a big circle with a patio/garden in the middle and room on the inside and outside of the circle. Well kept up in all respects. The place is very clean in the corridors and common areas. They repeatedly don't make the bed and the laundry doesn't get to the rooms and some laundry is temporarily or permanently lost. Be sure to label all clothes and bedding. Things have been taken from the room but if you complain they eventually seem to find them. At least 90% of the time the activities seem to happen, but not necessarily on-time. Great activities. The family must request each time if the person goes on activities off of the campus. The front door has a number lock so no one wanders out. They don't force people to go to activities, but most do and enjoy them. They are required to give medicine on time within a few hours of the time. I don't think this always happens, especially on weekends and evenings. in 2015 they had a problem with this, but it may be better now. It seems the quality of the staff has improved a little each year, but I still don't think there is quality oversight on evenings and weekends. The food is excellent. If the person won't eat any of the two quality choices, then they can get most anything else they want, if they wait. I've seen peanut butter sandwiches and hot dogs and hamburgers requested. You always get a beverage, meal, and dessert. Always excellent food. You must request ahead of the day if a guest wants to eat with the resident, for an extra charge which they add to your bill. They have a beauty salon. Residents play bingo and earn Bucks which they can personally use to buy chocolate, tissue, or other small items. Other than that, it is added to your bill. Each resident has a button around their neck that they can push for assistance, if they remember. They have a key to their room, which they can lock or not. Some rooms are labeled as having oxygen and no open flame. Room heating/cooling is excellent with a through the wall heater/air conditioner and a thermostat. The problem is that the staff come in and open / close windows and modify the temperature - and don't put the window or temperature back where it was. Your resident may freeze/over heat unless they call for assistance, which may arrive fast or much later depending on if management is on-site or not at the time, and what else they have to do. I don't think the residents get enough water/liquid, which can reduce their health. Water intake is not monitored at all. Glasses are half size typically due to their weight and not refilled unless requested. They will feed you in your room, or they hand feed some residents in the dining room. They have a doctor that comes on-site periodically and a pharmacy they typically use. I was not impressed with the end result of the doctor. I think the resident got much better care when I took them to their doctor. I don't see Aberdeen monitoring changes, noting changes, or notifying the family enough of changes. It is so much easier to help a resident if you know about things when they first happen, especially if it is a reduction in activities, amount of sleeping, or other changes that can indicate an underlying problem. Compared to other facilities, I would highly recommend this facility, but you MUST monitor your resident yourself. Come at odd times, each week, to really know what is happening. Frequently I note an issue that I am not happy with. If your resident isn't being taken care of, be aware that you can only complain to a certain extent. After that point, I would expect them to ask you to leave. They have a waiting list of people trying to get in that can take your resident's place. Since other facilities are not as good, you can only complain so much or do it yourself. If you want in, get on the list NOW. This is an expensive facility, my guess would be around $5000 per month for most. They base the cost on what amenities you need.

I thought Red Rock Senior Living was very nice when I toured. Everyone there was very friendly and the tour guide was knowledgeable. They answered all of my questions and the facility was very clean. I had a good experience touring.,

Transition is typically difficult for most, but probably not as difficult as leaving one's home of 50 years! How fortunate to have been referred to Keystone Communities of Roseville for consideration for our sister where she is now still within familiar territory. Her "homey" apartment is just the right size, has a partial lake view, is located in a cozy alcove with two neighboring apartments, plus an elevator within a few feet! Although Keystone of Roseville has been her residence for less than two months, she has developed a circle of acquaintenances that she is comfortable with. There seems to be enough activities from which to choose to keep her entertained and challenged. She is especially happy to be in an area of town for which she has the option of taking the Roseville Shuttle to her familiar "stops." As winter becomes more of a reality we, as her family, are confident in knowing that she will be warm and cozy and NOT missing the snow and ice challenges that Minnesota Winters bring!

We like living at this community. The staff are helpful and answer our questions. The meals are good. The people are friendly. This community is only 3 years old and they have done a good job of maintaining it.

It was a nice place and worked well for our respite stay. the staff were all helpful and nice. The food could be improved. Pretty dry and not very tasty. Believe the medication room should not be left open and unattended.

Like all children trying to place their parent in the perfect place; I was cautious and nervous until I visited The Lighthouse. My first visit was wonderful, very informative and extremely helpful. Mary was fabulous to visit with while we went over the details of how this place works. The staff seemed genuinely friendly and really appeared to care about the residents. I came away convinced that they do care. The place is always clean and doesn't have that hospital smell that accompanies some health facilities. After not much thought, I wanted my mom in the Lighthouse asap. She has been there for 6 weeks or so. During that time, she has gone from "I like it here" to "I'm glad I'm here" to "I'm very happy living here." I couldn't be more happy with the choice we made for mom. I truly recommend you to look at the Lighthouse last if your shopping around for a family member. You will see what difference this place is compared to others. They are not just running a flop house....the attitude is to keep people going, active and involved. Mom actually complains a bit as "they sometimes run her ragged." I couldn't be happier with the Lighthouse. My mom couldn't be happier either.

We so appreciate the help we have been given in every area Paper work has been immense and I was given my husband support for my dad. We love having an on site doctor

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.
