I looked at quite a few places before settling on The Waters. The staff are delightful, the apartments are quite lovely - light and bright, I’ve eaten there a few times and been impressed. My mom - Who is good at finding things to criticize - loves living there. Sometimes I wish I could partake in all the fun activities they have planned!

June’s adventure

June’s glad to be here because she is not lonely anymore. She’s able to be with people and eat with people instead of being in her old home alone. She is so happy she met people and new friends the very first day. My friend has been at New Perspective about a month now and she is happier than ever. The staff is amazing and [name removed] was phenomenal with making the process of the move easy and smooth. I have already recommended New Perspective to several relatives and friends. This is a community to definitely check out.

A great experience overall.

The entire team is lovely. Everyone we came in contact with was a super helpful person very kind. And seemed to enjoy what they did. If you have a loved one or if you personally need more attention than independent living, but not necessarily full-blown assisted-living, this is the place for you. My mother really didn't need full-blown assisted-living. However, what she needed was a few months of attention to get her back on track. And once she got that. She outgrew the program. Meaning once she no longer needed assistance. She didn't really care to live there.

Perfect Place for Mom

I had toured at least eight memory care homes and as soon as I toured "The Waters of White Bear Lake" I knew that I found the place I was looking for to care for my mother. I was feeling so guilty and anxious about transitioning my mom from her home of 60 years to a care community but the process went amazingly well! Staff at The Waters of White Bear Lake were so helpful, professional and patient. We had a few adjustments at first but through communication and consistency my mom is very happy. She will even tell you so! She loves the food, the staff, her room and benefits from participating in various programs and activities. I feel very comfortable with the choice we made. I would highly recommend this place if you want quality care for your loved one.
