New Perspective Senior Living | Columbia Heights

we toured this community and it was a nice tour. They answered all of our questions and was very helpful

I would not recommend this location for Assisted Living. I felt like they did not provide the care level that we were paying for consistently. It was just not a good fit for my mom's specific situation at the time.

We are so grateful to [name removed] and her group at New Perspective. Mom is doing well there and she is well taken care of. I love the staff, food, activities, and oh so clean!! I would highly recommend!!!

Kind, extremely flexible and helpful onboarding process! Lovely staff. Lots of activity options. Table shuffleboard, pool table, massive video screens, smoothie bar, large wrap-around 2nd story screen porch, and wonderful meals. It's like a Country Club.

Stay as far away from this place as you can. If you truly love your loved one, bypass this place. Always short staffed, medication errors poor rating with the state, formerly the Lighthouse of Columbia Heights. Had to change their name to get a clean slate with state of MN. Too many cases of neglect and death by neglect, registered with state of MN. Hard to find but they are all there. Management constantly changes, nurses leave all the time, can’t keep staff. No real supervision on the weekends and Holidays. Don’t throw your loved one or your money away. This place is despicable! First hand knowledge I had my loved one There and moved them immediately when I really realized what was going on behind the scenes. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

While looking at some options in the area, this location seemed like a better fit for my love one. She seems to be doing ok here, but it would be nice if there was a point person. If I were to ask someone how my love one is doing they would just say “oh your mom is really nice”. Well, I already knew that and by that it just seems like they don’t necessarily have to worry about her. However, it would be nice to have some identified as a designated aid to see how my love one is doing, regarding her health and such. She isn’t one to participate in activities that they provide, but they do try to engage her to try. Unfortunately, she is just stubborn and she is good at refusing. She also told me that the meals are ok, but she wishes that there were more choices for breakfast. It kind of limits what she eats because she stopped having eggs since they serve that every day. So this reduces the size of her breakfast. The facility itself seems to be clean and neat. It seems a bit cleaner in the assisted living side than the memory care side. I recommend this place to other by my experience with them so far. She is transitioning well now, she can tell me about all the people there, she feels safer, and she is no longer feeling alone like she did before which is good.

We chose New Perspective for my loved one's respite care, and overall, I feel they worked well for us. They were very kind to my loved one, they were efficient, and they seemed to always have adequate staffing. We did have some trouble with my loved one not getting her medications on time or with medications being lost, but the issue was resolved quickly, and we had no other problems. They had a lot of activities to keep everyone busy there such as card games, shuffleboard, exercise classes, and happy hour. There was a lot to take advantage of. The place looked nice, was very clean, comfortable, and was close by.

The care at this community is excellent and the care. I like that they help my father will special needs at mealtime. The meals are a good variety. I like that he is offered physical therapy that has been very helpful for him. The community is clean and has a nice environment for the residents. We would recommend this community for the care and good value for a loved one.

So far everything working out well for my father with his move to this community. I do feel he is safe, and in good hands in this facility. They have a good staff, and they have been helpful when needed. Also kind, and friendly when I visit. They do a good job with keeping everything around the community nice, and clean. They provide pretty nice meals, and there are activities offered for the residents. This community is working out well for us, and

I like the care that my father is getting in this community. The staff has been very helpful and caring and attentive. The menu is outstanding and he likes everything that is offered. The community is nice and we are happy that they have alerts for the residents. We like knowing that the community is clean and he is happy with the nice activities and he is pleased to know that they have church gatherings. We would recommend this community for the excellent care for a loved one.

My mom is a resident now, June 2017. Beautiful place, FINALLY a great chef. The turnover of their loved, seasoned employees is unbelievably sad. I cannot imagine how awful this particular facility is to work for as they have lost (quit not fired) AMAZING employees. Too many to count. Before placing anyone here, ask for proof of employee turnover. Your loved one will bond with caregivers only to find them quitting as soon as they become a constant in your loved one's life.

I have no complaints about the care that my loved one has been receiving with this home health care team. They have been attentive to my loved ones needs and have been professional in there work. I would recommend them to anyone interested .

I have no complaints about the tour I had of this community for my loved one. They had a great selection of amenities available for all of the residents throughout the day as well as many different activities. The floor plan was open and easy to navigate through which I really liked. It was just not the right fit for her in the end decision.

To ensure the right choice, I had many tours with different types of communities. I did not find anything wrong with this facility. It was nice and clean, good interaction from the staff, and noticed the extra amenities. Based on our needs this was not the right fit.

We had a very good experience during my fathers time at this community. It is a really nice facility. Unfortunately he needed more care than they were able to provided. So I had to move him, but I was very pleased with all this community did for us. They have a good staff, they were very kind, and helpful. They did a great job with keeping everything well-kept. My father enjoyed his time at this community, and I would recommend it.

The tour of New Perspective by [Removed] was great! [Removed] was excellent at sharing the Assisted Living environment at New Perspective and answering our questions. Disappointment was the limited kitchen (only a mini refrigerator and no ovent). It did have a microwave included. Overall, New Perspective was an impressive facility for Assisted Living. I'm only giving it a 'fair' rating since we have only had a first tour.

The staff is good with my mom. Mom had done different fund raisers here, and it is in the same community where mom lived. It was her first choice since she new the people here. The community is always clean. Mom likes the food sometimes and others not so much. Mom has also got into the exercise class, movies, and bingo.

I am very pleased with this community, they have provided my loved one with great service and the staff have been very attentive to her needs. She is really enjoying the different tasty meals as well as the activities they have throughout the day. The company of the other residents has really made her feel welcomed and comfortable in her new living environment. I have no complaints and would defiantly recommend this place.

This community was our second choice. The people I met during the tour were nice. The community seemed clean. They allow pets.

Like all children trying to place their parent in the perfect place; I was cautious and nervous until I visited The Lighthouse. My first visit was wonderful, very informative and extremely helpful. Mary was fabulous to visit with while we went over the details of how this place works. The staff seemed genuinely friendly and really appeared to care about the residents. I came away convinced that they do care. The place is always clean and doesn't have that hospital smell that accompanies some health facilities. After not much thought, I wanted my mom in the Lighthouse asap. She has been there for 6 weeks or so. During that time, she has gone from "I like it here" to "I'm glad I'm here" to "I'm very happy living here." I couldn't be more happy with the choice we made for mom. I truly recommend you to look at the Lighthouse last if your shopping around for a family member. You will see what difference this place is compared to others. They are not just running a flop house....the attitude is to keep people going, active and involved. Mom actually complains a bit as "they sometimes run her ragged." I couldn't be happier with the Lighthouse. My mom couldn't be happier either.
