New Perspective is one of the best senior care communities in the East Metro especially for residents in and around Woodbury, Oakdale, and Lake Elmo. After searching more than 7 similar communities, New Perspective Oakdale won the day hands down. New Perspective is conveniently located and offers an array of activities to bring residents enjoyment. The community is clean and well kept and offers a very comfortable setting for all. But the secret sauce is in the staff. They are nothing short of the most amazing, caring, and professional people you can imagine. The moment we walked in, you could sense a very welcoming setting with attentive and friendly people. My mother has been here two months and has been excellently cared for. All the staff are so kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. It is better than any care I could have wished for my mom. The food is also very good and varied. The staff there, too, is just wonderful. The dining room is open and airy and the tables feature tablecloths and cloth napkins adding to a calming and elevated experience. Pricing is also very reasonable as I compared costs to all all neighboring communities and found the price/value proposition excellent. So, if you are looking for assisted living or memory care, make New Perspective a must-see option for your loved one. You won't be disappointed.

New Perspective in Oakdale is a wonderful place for seniors. The management team genuinely care about the people they serve. They are responsive and seem to enjoy the job they do. Do not hesitate to bring your loved one here.

Recently did a tour of the facility and was very impressed. Room sizes were adequate and well designed. I thought the rates reasonable. Team members interacted with residents as they passed in the hall. Meals had variety. Very clean and tidy (I look for dust). We aren’t quite ready for a move yet, but this facility will remain on my ‘possibilities’ list.

I highly recommend New Perspectives in Oakdale as an exceptional option for a loved one. My mother was 92 years old when she moved in after living in the same home for more than 60 years. She had reached a point where she needed the dedicated support that the memory care team provides. While the transition wasn’t easy for her, the staff was incredible in helping her adjust and feel comfortable. She lived at New Perspectives for about a year before her passing late this year. Those early months brought her an unexpected burst of energy thanks to the love, attention, and compassion the staff showed her. It truly felt as though she had gained 20 new family members. During her final months, when she became bedridden, she continued to receive exceptional care. She was always clean, dressed in fresh clothing, her hair brushed, and was treated with unwavering dignity right up to her final day. It was heartbreaking to see how deeply connected the staff had become to her and how sincerely they grieved her passing. She loved to tell us during our visits about “the girls,” their families, and their lives outside of work. As a family, we were always kept informed, and the team responded quickly and thoughtfully to any questions or requests we had. We feel truly blessed that my mom was able to spend her final year at New Perspectives. If you are fortunate enough to find a room available, I am confident your expectations will be exceeded—not only in the quality of care, but in the genuine love and respect they provide to the people who live there.

I couldn't be more pleased with how my mother was treated at New Perspective. My mother felt welcomed and happy with the staff- who were so caring and kind. She was treated with the utmost respect. The facility was clean and well lit, and absolutely everyone we encountered were so kind and helpful. We occasionally had dinner with our mom amd the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone either seeking a place for themselves or a loved one.
