New Perspective Minnetonka

Sandra

We toured. The rooms were very, very small. There's hardly anything in the way of the kitchen because all the meals are in their dining room. The whole thing seemed kind of cramped, like small rooms and narrow hallways. The people were very friendly, and there was a bingo game going on. But it was not what we were looking for, like independent living. It was clean and the people were pleasant. But the person we were supposed to have the tour with wasn't available, so another young lady came and did it, and she did a great job.

The staff who gave us a tour were fabulous, but it was an older building, and it wasn't as of an open feeling when you're out of your room. You had to maneuver the hallways to find the gathering areas. Everyone that I met was very open and very welcoming. It seemed the memory care unit was a little crowded by comparison to others, but it also had an open balcony off the side that they could go out to, which was inviting, to be able to be out in the fresh air for the residents. It looked like they were getting ready to help the residents do some planting of flowers or vegetables when I was there. So, they had things going on.

My father has moved in. They're very attentive. It's a beautiful facility. His room is very nice, very large, and roomy. They have exercise, singalong, and they take them out on the patio. He is in memory care. They have a locked elevator. It seems very secure. We feel he's safe there. The food seems good. My dad has such a high care level and it's just very expensive wherever you go, and it's State regulated.

We are moving our parents in. It has a very nice appearance, very homey, and welcoming. They greet you whether you're there to tour or you're just there to visit. They make sure that somebody comes up to you and welcomes you and says, "What are you here for?" It was a very nice first impression. We've been there a couple of times and the staff has been different each time. Somebody is always asking you, just making sure they're taking care of you. We were not there at a mealtime, but they showed us the dining area. It looked very nice and they had a little, almost like a snack area there that they showed us. We toured over the holidays, so it was very quiet. There wasn't much in terms of activity that we had a chance to see.

It was beautiful. The rooms were beautiful with walk-in showers and their own bathrooms. They have Elderly Waiver rooms. They have a beautiful dining room with a menu and lots of different options. They had a dog at the front desk, which I liked. It was 100% nicer than where my mother-in-law is. They go to the casino and lots of outings to Wal-Mart and different places. They have a shuttle that will take people places and they make sure the medications for the residents are coming.

We visited, and we were impressed with the presentation, but the issue for us was the room size; it was not what we were looking for. Other than the room, we would have been thrilled with it. It’s clean. The staff was very friendly. I think if you were a fully functioning individual and able to move around, that would be a good choice.
