Diane

Daughter of Resident

"My dear mother spent the last four years of her life in New Perspective Long Grove’s Memory Care residence. My family could not be happier with excellent care she received from the nurses and aides in memory care. My husband and I are so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown to my mom as her health declined. My mom was very comfortable and happy with her NP caregivers."

Alexandria

Granddaughter of Resident

"My grandmother was admitted there and it has been nothing short of royal! They cater to her, her meds are given on time, they have great meals and a wonderful dining experience. The staff are very polite and understanding. If you’re looking for a place for a loved one, this place is wonderful."

Cynthia

Sister of Resident

"My brother has been at New Perspective for 2 months. He couldn't be happier. He has made new friends, the staff is caring and compassionate and he loves the food. Thank you for keeping him safe and easing my mind."

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer to common questions from families considering senior living

What is the difference between independent and assisted living?

Independent living is for seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with engaging activities and community. Assisted living offers that same lifestyle, with added support for daily tasks like medication or personal care—provided as needed while preserving independence and dignity.

What does the monthly fee include?

The monthly fee includes apartment rent and basic utilities as well as access to many of the services and experiences that make daily life easier and more enjoyable—such as dining, housekeeping, activities, wellness opportunities, and transportation for community outings. Care services are added based on individual needs.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes. Many of our communities welcome pets, and we understand the comfort and companionship they provide. Community teams are happy to walk through pet guidelines and options with you.

What if my care needs change over time?

Our communities are designed to support aging in place. As needs change, services can often be adjusted so you can continue living in the community you already call home.

How do I know if it's the right time to move?

If home upkeep feels overwhelming, daily tasks are becoming stressful, or you’re craving more connection and peace of mind, it may be time to explore your options. Our team offers complimentary conversations to help you and your family decide what’s right.

What safety and security measures are in place?

Our communities are thoughtfully designed with resident safety in mind and supported by trained team members on site. Emergency response systems, secure access, and coordinated care services help residents feel comfortable, confident, and supported.
