New Perspective White Bear Lake

Amanda Brown, the Director of Sales at New Perspective - White Bear Lake, met with me and my elderly parents last week and led us on a tour of the facilities. I was immediately impressed by how Amanda put my parents at ease, and patiently answered their questions. She skillfully and gently addressed each of their concerns during the meeting and throughout the tour. Amanda quickly built a sincere rapport with all of us, and was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of New Perspective. We were absolutely wowed by the palpable spirit of community and love that was readily apparent in both the residents and staff, and in the overall design and feel of the private and communal living spaces. The place is truly impressive. My parents, especially my dad, are notoriously slow and wary of

My daughter visited a plethora of facilities before I came to visit them in person. This New Perspective at the White Bear Lake location definitely made it to the short list for a personal visit by me. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the staff are exemplary. The floor plans are generous and storage is bountiful. I moved from Ohio where I had lived all my life to Minnesota so this was a significant move for me. Everything about this facility definitely makes it a new and wonderful home for me. It is like living in an apartment at a country club.

I want to recognize this beautiful facility with the most amazing leadership ever. Recently I was able to attend the Veteran's Day Event put on by New Perspectives. The event was honorable and memorable. The thought and effort put forth by their leaders was so rewarding. I have been to many events at facilities. I have not seen an Executive Director that is so involved. Rachel Staven is the ED every facility needs. She leads her team and is present for the residents. I often see Rachel interacting with residents in the lobby. Way to lead your team with heart, Rachel. It is noticed and appreciated!

We looked at a lot of places for our Mom to move to when it was time and New Perspective in White Bear Lake was the best choice. It is a beautiful facility with a very friendly community and very supportive staff. The building is well maintained, there is a good variety of accessible activities during the days to stay engaged socially, the homemade meals are delicious, and it is in a great location. Mom has adjusted well and she is happy she selected New Perspective to be her new home.

Our Mom started in assisted living and moved to memory care. In between, she had hip surgery and spent a few weeks in transitional care at a facility not affiliated with New Perspectives. During that time, it became clear that NP is where Mom needed to be. Aside from providing top notch clinical care, everyone at NP enjoys what they do and genuinely cares for Mom as if she is part of their own family. They listen to her and know what makes her tick - her likes, dislikes, sense of humor and daily rhythms. Case in point, we dropped by NP while Mom was in transitional care, and multiple staff members expressed concern, asked us how she was doing and if she was getting her daily spumoni ice cream! We are happy and grateful for the level and quality of care that NP provides our Mom.
