Review for New Perspective Mankato

Staff here is wonderful, they always seem happy and very helpful. There seems to be something going on everyday through the weekdays but things seem to go to your own resources on the weekends. There are a lot of people on the food program and seem to be happy with it. We do our own cooking in our apartment.

Good food

My brother really likes New Perspective in Mankato. Says it's good food and he has a very nice room with laundry. the rates keep going up and hard to keep general staff.... a few weeks ago I ate there with my brother and the CEO and maintenance workers were serving the food cuz of worker shortage.... but they did a good job!! But staffing is a problem everywhere in these types of places.

Awesome Caring Community

Friendly staff, clean and inviting environment. Often see the executive director and other leaders helping and on the floor. You typically don't see this anywhere. Wonderful place for my dad and now my mom.

So far my dad is thriving and enjoying all the friendly staff as well as the good food. Based on the experience we have had so far with New Perspective Senior Living, we would recommend this community to other families.

Best place for your loved one

It was recommended by the rep I'm working with through you. After the tour and watching a video on how it came to be, it was very appealing to me. I wanted my uncle to have interaction with ppl but have the freedom he wants. He is happy there and likes the staff. Staff like him, too. He's not just another client they have to get to. I see the passion for doing their job. They are a great place to trust your loved one with. I would recommend to others.

Cleanliness: for the building 4. For memory care unit rooms 1. Care services and staff: range from 1-5. At first New Perspective was a great place for my parents, but it has increasingly declined. I have had numerous contact with staff about medication errors, lack of follow-through, not enough staffing, and my mom being ignored in the memory care unit, causing her health to decline. I wish I could have more positive things to say, but the decline is evident. I would not recommend this place to others anymore. My parents are looking to relocate somewhere else ASAP. New Perspectives has gotten bigger and pay direct care staff and cleaning staff very low wages, which results in continuous shortages.

This truly is a great place for mom. The staff are all very friendly and competent. There are very nice room sizes and amenities offered for the residents. I would recommend New Perspective Senior Living Mankato to others without any reservations.

Very friendly and welcoming community.

New Perspective is a beautiful and very clean facility in a really convenient location. The staff and residents were all very friendly and made all of our family feel welcome and at home there. (Care rating of 2 - not their fault. My mom's condition declined quickly, and they weren't able to support her level of care.)

Highly recommend

The staff were all so helpful in getting my mom placed. It took time-- several months before she moved, because she was resistant to the change. New perspective continued to call and check in, offering any guidance to help get Mom ready, not to mention so much emotional support to me!!! I feel so grateful to the team at New Perspective-- Mom is in Memory Care there, and I am thankful for the excellent care and support that she receives there!

Do not let a loved one live in the memory unit

If I could give zero stars, I would. Not impressed with the memory care unit. Our mom's diet was never abided by, so she always had stomach problems and the food was consistently cold, nasty and delivered late. She was always alone in her room, they never brought her out to socialize or interact with others. Communication was almost non-existent unless initiated by us. The final straw was when one of the other residents, who should have had closer supervision, fell into my mom giving her a traumatic brain injury when my mom banged her head on the floor board and laid in a pool of blood. She was in the hospital for almost one week and nobody from New Perspectives even inquired to see how she was doing. Now she is confined to a wheelchair, needs more care and her brain will never be the same. After this we moved her to a place in St. Peter, best decision ever to leave New Perspective. Residents are just dollar signs to New Perspective.

Friendly Atmosphere and Good Food

The staff are very friendly. My loved ones tell me all the time how much they love the food. They enjoy the activities, especially bingo and music. They enjoyed working with [name removed], the admissions person. And they really like the The CNAs and housekeepers as well. Really the only negative thing is their follow-through isn't the best at times. I would like to see that improve.

Easy Transition

I thought my loved one was going to get a little bit more help, even in independent living, since they have different levels within that independent category. Other than that, it's been pretty good. It's comfortable, and my loved one has made friends. It's a convenient location. She has a storage locker and a place to park her car. And it's easy to get around in the facility. Everything is close by.

New Perspective Senior Living

I toured New Perspective, and I thought that the community was very nice, and that the staff was very friendly. However, the community is large and pretty spread out, so I worried about my dad's maneuverability there. The community also felt sterol, and I was hoping for a more comfortable, homey feel. They also provided only one meal a day, and I wanted something more inclusive for my dad.

Good Community To Move Too

I'am looking forward to my move to this community. It is gonna be a rough transition for me, but overall I know I will be happy in this community. This community has everything I will need. They offer many resources for their residents. I enjoy reading, and they have a lovely library. They have underground parking available, and also provide transportation. They have been very accommodating. I have four cats, and they are helping me find homes for them. This is a nice age in place community. Everyone I have met have been very kind, and friendly. I would recommend this community, it is a good place to move too.

Care for a loved one.

We are very happy with the care from this community. The staff is caring and attentive. We like the cleanliness of the community with a nice environment. The variety of the meals is outstanding. We like that their room is close to the patio for them to enjoy. They did not inform us of additional charges. They are offered activities. We would recommend this community for the great care for a loved one.

Keystone communities is such a friendly place to live. It isn't an "elderly home", it is "home". The staff take great care of everyone, keep the building and ground neat and clean and the food is "just like I used to make". I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to move into an independent or assisted living.
