Tough move made easy. Highly recommend New Perspectives. - Happy Family

5's across the board! Smaller than other places. Better vibe than a mega apt building feeling. I've only experienced Minnetonka and yes I would recommend them to others. Assume others follow similar model.

Review for New Perspective Minnetonka

One thing that we really liked was that the facility was Sun filled , light and open. Residents could walk out front or in the back patio. The food staff was great . Very friendly and receptive to the Residents. One thing that bothered me was that they sat in the same places everyday. Would of been nice to meet other Residents . I know they tried to get activities going and were working on a new activities director. The staff seemed happy.

Family experience

When my mother passed at the facility almost every worker there said they were sad to see her go. She had only been there two and a half days. Very friendly and concerned. Even got a hug from one who said my mom was so sweet.

Parents tramsitioning

First month has been a rollercoaster. First week was good, second and third were struggles and fourth was okay. They miss their home. Issues around medications and waiting for meds to be delivered rather than me driving 5-minutes to pick up two over the counter medications. Parents calling complaining during week and being told we do not need to answer the phone was not well received. Up front pricing and care levels of assessment and after three weeks were very different. [name removed]loves the physical therapy. Front door staff is usually accommodating but there times when they follow the rules rather than do the best thing for the patient. They would like more activities and being around people on their mental level. They both find the staff friendly and accommodating, yet there is no place like home.

Hidden gem

RUN for the tour and interview at Sunrise before hesitating and wasting your time as I did on other facilities first. Sunrise surpassed [name removed] and my needs, expectations, the competition, pricing, offerings, knowledge, care, customer service, friendly staff at every position and a place for mom’s high referral. The facility is more like an updated and clean upscale home atmosphere with great views in every room of woods, nature or courtyards conveniently located. Phone is always answered; messages promptly returned 7 days a week. A request for our needs was no problem. They effortlessly followed through with every detail, service, commitment and last minute emergency change etc. I cannot say enough about Sunrise who went up and above handling what had morphed into a stressful situation on both of us from a simple procedure at a well known hospital providing solutions for us short term and long term if needed. They gave us the peace with dignity nobody else did.

Review for Sunrise of Minnetonka

Overall, it was a really good experience. Kind and caring staff, clean. I think as with any place, especially with an older person with some cognitive issues, It helps to be there to help make sure the transition is a good one and that your loved ones needs are being met. Overall was a great experience and day-to-day or person to person. I might have fluctuated between four and five. I was a little room for improvement but overall we were very pleased.

Not for spinal cord patients

Nursing care was good, staff was friendly, meals were good, but not allowing my husband to use a power wheelchair was severely limiting for him, and OT and PT care was minimal, and did not meet his needs.

Respectful loving staff

The staff was very attentive to my dad who was in a wheelchair. They treated him with respect and had fun with him too. When he passed away, they all came to pay their respects and many shed tears.

Great quality of life for mom's last years!

My mother lived in the memory care unit at Sunrise of Minnetonka from 2016 until she passed away in 2023. The staff gave her absolutely wonderful care that entire time. My mother had dementia, but also another diagnosis that made placement difficult. In addition, she was very active and alert, so she needed beautifully decorated surroundings, lots of interesting daily activities to choose from, great tasting food, and friendship. The staff at Sunrise excelled at all of the above, for almost seven years straight, including through the difficult years of the pandemic, adjusting mom's care as her needs changed. I HIGHLY recommend Sunrise!

Tour experience

The tour with Sunrise of Minnetonka was fine. We are keeping my loved one at home with full time care and hoping not to go back to a facility. We only toured with 2 places but Sunrise seemed to be a good fit and had good sales people as well.

Review for Sunrise of Minnetonka

We picked this community because, it was close to my home and the price was reasonable. It was higher than some places but lower than others. The small amount of rooms/small community seemed like a good choice for my loved one. Overall, we're really happy with the facility. It's clean, people are friendly and they are really flexible in working with the families.

Comfortable After a Stressful Situation

This is a great place to stay for your loved one. The business side of things needs a little help, such as the explanation of everything related to the cost. I was initially quoted a price and it ended up being more than anticipated. I was told that the first payment had to be made the day of move in; however, no one told me it had to be 2 months worth. This added to the stress of an already stressful situation. The staff are very good at communicating with the family if there are any issues that come up with my loved one. They are also responsive in answering our questions. They have three or four different levels of care available. This doesn't include the medication management.

We had a good tour experience with Sunrise. The facility just needed some TLC and was not the right fit for my loved one.
