New Perspective | Sun Prairie

Gail

New Perspective | Sun Prairie was very nice and clean. It was a little bit old, but very warm, homey, and welcoming. The staff member was very welcoming when we first walked through the door. Jake, the director that gave us a tour, was amazing, very personable, and very friendly. He just made my parents feel like they were their top priority. He seemed like a very caring individual that really puts the residents first and their needs first. It was also very nice for my parents to walk into a place where even though some people need some assistance, they did not see a lot of people in wheelchairs. It had a very independent living feeling. There were a lot of activities going on. It was a very large community, with more units and more residents. We actually went upstairs and did a tour of one of the apartments that would be available. It looked peaceful, clean, nice, and welcoming.

I will be moving into New Perspective Sun Prairie. I will be going to an independent living residence until and we're thinking real soon that I will need to be in assisted living. It was clean and the staff was friendly. I liked the apartments, and I liked the screened-in porches. I have not tried the food, but I get one meal a day with my payments, so that will be on the menu. It seems like they have a library, a bar, and a craft room. So, there should certainly be enough, plus I love to read and that's something I can voluntarily do in my home. They do have a pool. Independent and assisted living are mixed, and then you stay in your apartment if you needed the change. Memory care is a separate unit.

We toured New Perspective Sun Prairie for my friend. It was very plush, very high end, and very nice. We interacted with staff there, and everyone was very friendly. They introduced us to a lot of staff people, and they also gave us food. It was very good. They were having a cooking class. After we got back to the office area, all of a sudden, the gal came with food.

New Perspective is glorious and aesthetically beautiful. I could live there. We observed very professional care and very high standard of cleanliness. It's very quiet, everything was impeccable, and done very nicely. Everything was very warm and inviting. There were also chandeliers. You walk in and you do not feel like you're entering a senior home at all. Every room has a kitchenette and the rooms were very generous in size and had high ceilings, so they felt very roomy. They may have the biggest rooms of any place we looked at, but they're expensive. They had a saltwater pool and a very large therapy pool. When you walk in, there were lots of windows everywhere. It's very light and it had high ceilings.

I came to New Perspective because a friend of mine was coming here and I loved it when I got here. I like the atmosphere and cleanlimess. They have so many amenities and a much bigger wellness center/exercise room. They have a pub where you can get two free drinks a day, but I just go there for socialization and have soda. There are a lot of activities here. The staff is wonderful. We have a bistro and we can always substitute if we don't want what's on the menu. They have a bus tour three days a week to a library or to shopping at Wal-Mart, Target or Walgreen's. It's just a little bit too expensive.

I also visited Lighthouse, but you had to pay a fee of $3000 initially that would cover the different programs that they had like trips. Their facility was very nice, but it was not something my sister would have been interested in. You could smoke there too, but you have to go out beyond the side walk, and my sister would not have considered that. The rooms were excellent; very spacious. The bathrooms have grab bars, they had sliding doors which were much more convenient than having to open a door going to the bathroom or coming from your bedroom; it was just easier to slide a door. Their kitchen was beautiful with granite counter tops.
