New Perspective | Howard

New Perspective Howard was very nice and very expensive. The staff who did the tour was excellent and very attentive. The room was very nice, but the kitchen was a little too big for independent living for my mother. She doesn't need that big of a kitchen. It would've been nice to have a little bit bigger living space and not much of the kitchen. There's no room in the kitchen area for a small table even. The counters were huge and there's an island in the middle of it which was nice, but we felt it was just big for independent living when there's just gonna be one or two people. Otherwise, it was great. Because of Covid, we didn't try the food, but they were going to get a hold of my mother and send out a fish dinner. I don't know if they've done that yet. We saw the pool, the hair salon, and the workout place. My mother liked that there's a washer and dryer in the unit, which is one of her requirements. I did not like that given the cost of living there monthly, which is relatively high for independent living, that she also has to pay for an underground garage which was super high as well.

My uncle recently moved into NP. The staff is warm, kind and caring but his apartment was filthy. The carpet was old and staine and smelled.. We had to scour the bathroom from top to bottom and are currently checking into how we can hire them to change the carpeting so that his allergies do not bother him from the animal dander left behind from cats owned by the former tenant. First impressions are the most important. Please do not make the same mistake we made by assuming your loved one will be welcomed with professionally cleaned carpet and freshly painted walls.

New Perspective is gorgeous. They have a woodworking shop, and you can do gardening. You can do almost do anything you can think of doing there. However, it is not on top of our list because the price point is quite high. It is almost $1,500 a month more than any of the other places that we looked at. That's the only drawback; other than that, it is absolutely gorgeous. It is a large place and very roomy. The dining room is large, open, and has windows looking onto the pond. It is just very nice. Everything there is high quality. They have a bar. You can order your meals to be delivered to your room, get your hair done, get a massage, and get therapy. I would say the food there was a 4. We had one meal that we didn't really like, but they will make you special meals if you want.

Everything was excellent at New Perspective Senior Living. They had a lot of things to do and underground parking. The rooms had two bedrooms and two baths, but they did not have anything available. We would probably have to go on a waiting list. They were really nice.
