New Perspective Golden Valley

Mom liked the fact that it wasn't so big. It was more like a home atmosphere. The lady that toured us was very personable. They had a couple of places there to watch television as well as some areas to socialize. The dining area was very nice, too. Then they had a place where you could go outside in the summer and a porch in the wintertime that was heated. So that was nice and the apartment was a good size.

My sister stayed for rehab respite for about 20 days. For her, it was not a good experience, but it was her own fault. She didn't want to be there, but I thought the place was OK, the staff was OK, and it was a very nice building. Her room was generously sized enough and clean, but very plain. It had a bed and a chair and a bathroom and somewhat looked like sort of kitchen cabinetry, but not a kitchen. I was only there for half an hour one time. I didn't see any of the activities or anything, but it looked like they had a lot of common areas for people to go and do things. She just was not a cooperative patient there, but the staff, the meals, and the facility were fine.

I like that it seemed like they kind of knew where my friend was at in her memory loss. And that she could be independent, and then transition. There was just something they seemed to know how to deal with, in that situation. The amenities seem pretty nice and they have an outdoor area. And in assisted living somebody would come and check on you every day which seemed a little more intensive assisted. They talked about their menu but I haven't tried the food. The assisted living just had a refrigerator, there are no stoves or anything. The person has been in the industry and seems to know how people are when aging, so she's very good. They had a salon, they had field trips or somebody could take you to the grocery stores.

It is extremely nice, and there's a reason why it's rated very high by the people who live there. When I visited, they had someone to greet you and because they're expecting you they're on top of the ball. The staff treats each other very well, so you know they'll treat the residents well. They mainly have semi-private rooms, and if you can buy out a whole suite you have more privacy. It's full of natural light, and they do have resident pets there, so there's a house cat who lives on the memory care unit, and then there's a dog who stays in the assisted living part. They have snacks and hydration available, and they go out of their way to make the place look very homey. They also have a wide variety of activities to appeal to varied interests. The assisted living place has the best outdoor area, it's really nice, and it feels like you're out in a park. They also have a place that's more like a deck for the memory care people where they can go and sit outside with little umbrellas for shade. The only drawback is that the residents still have to wait for a staff member to go outside. Their hallways all have skylights so there's a ton of natural night.

Everything about the tour was pleasant. However, we did not feel it was a good fit. The rooms were average and clean. There was a library and a calendar of different events organized to stay at the facility or to go out, such as shopping. The dining area was welcoming, clean, and had a vast menu with a lot of different choices.

I was extremely impressed. It was an excellent and very nice facility. It seemed like they had a wonderful staff. It was very well set up. I liked the idea that they could go from minor assisted living to hospice care without having to move. The rooms and apartments were very nice. Their grounds and facility location were excellent. The dining area seemed very good. They had choices for the meals, so that was very good.
