Overall Review of New Perspective Senior Living | Eagan

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Staff care and communication vary

Several also highlight how attentive staff are to day-to-day needs, including calling residents by name and coordinating care during transitions. At the same time, other reviewers report issues like short staffing, housekeeping and laundry problems, unanswered concerns, and communication that felt missing when needs changed.

Activities and social life stand out

common 5 reviews mention this

Food and dining get strong nods

Dining is frequently praised, with restaurant-style service elements and regular meals.

Multiple reviews say the meals are good and that food is a highlight of everyday life. Residents also reference organized meal service, including multi-part meal options through the day. One reviewer notes taste concerns, describing the food as somewhat bland, even while still focusing more on positive experience overall.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Pricing feels like a tradeoff

Cost is discussed as both better than alternatives and sometimes too high for the care delivered.

One family says they chose the community because the cost was better than other options they considered. Another reviewer argues the monthly price is not matched by basic services and care execution, pointing to unmet needs such as housekeeping/laundry and medication management. This creates a mixed picture where value depends heavily on how consistently day-to-day needs are met.
