I have been here only 6 months now, but first impressions mean a lot to me, and I was taken aback by how grand everything appeared. I love my apartment, which provides the necessities needed and makes living here worry free. The staff I've met are friendly, informative and supportive. They also provide a monthly ambitious schedule full of activities/opportunities to participate. I am so glad my son found New Perspective for me!!!
Belen New Perspective residentI just want to thank all the wonderful, amazing people at New Perspective. They take such great care of my mom and have helped in her complete recovery. The social aspect along with the great food and activities all make my mom’s stay just like a cruise on land. There is no better place to be!
Louis son of New Perspective residentNew Perspective is an amazing place! They've been incredibly helpful and supportive right from the start. My dad had some ups and downs after he moved in. But I believe a big part of him coming through it all every time was because of the level of care and commitment to the residence that they have. While I think the place is great, the best part is that my dad loves living there. I highly recommend it.
Troy son of New Perspective residentI can’t say enough about New Perspective! It was a wonderful home for my aunt for almost three years. The facility is gorgeous-like a fine hotel or cruise ship! Residents are provided with a quality community life and there are numerous opportunities for engagement. Many great friendships are developed there. The chef-prepared meals are absolutely delicious too. Compassionate staff members took excellent care of my aunt as she transitioned from assisted living to memory care as her needs increased. Everybody became like family to us, and I will never forget their kindness! Highly recommend New Perspective Senior Living!
Jan niece of New Perspective residentI have a few clients living at New Perspective that I visit with often. Every time I enter the community, I’m always greeted by every employee passing by. The residents are friendly and love chit chatting. The community is very clean, beautiful, and organized. My clients have longevity in the community and are happy living in the community. The staff truly goes above and beyond for their residents, and you can see it by how happy they are! Tons of activities and they’re always willing to open their community to others! Highly recommend.
Rebecca health partner to New PerspectiveVery good care given to my parents around the clock. The caretakers go above and beyond to make sure each resident gets the quality of care that they need. Very friendly staff and workers! You can't walk past any worker without getting a friendly response from them. There is always some type of recreation, games, singing, storytelling, Bible & prayer gatherings happening depending on the day. There's an in-house beautician on a weekly basis that tends to the needs of all who wish to spruce up their beauty. The supervision also goes above and beyond to handle any question or complaints any resident might have along with running a top-notch ship! Highly recommended!
Keith son of New Perspective residentsMy sister moved into New Perspective several months ago and loves it! She often tells me she never wants to move. The culture of the facility is positive, caring and fun! That starts at the top and filters throughout!
Sara sister of New Perspective residentA lovely senior community! If I could, I would give it a 10-star rating!! Every detail has been carefully considered, from the residential living apartments to the well-appointed dining and social areas, activities and grounds. The Executive Director truly cares for the residents. It shows in her vision for the community and personal relationship with the staff. I recommend New Perspective!
Ann loved one of New Perspective residentMy 93-year-old mom came to New Perspective 18 months ago. Due to the similarity of her new apartment to her home, the transition was easy for her. With meals, cleaning, laundry and safety provided, she was all set. As the months progressed, so did her need for Memory Care, which they were ready to provide. I have been able to visit and dine with her every day, as visitors and residents are welcome equally, yet I still have time for my own life and responsibilities, knowing she is safe. The staff will work with you to “tweak” your care plan as needed every step of the way. This has been the perfect choice for us. I’m so thankful!
