"Great Place with Fun Activities and Good Meals"

I think this is a good place for your loved ones. They do have some staffing shortages like other places. They offer lots of activities and trips, and the meals are good. It’s also very clean. There’s a big library, a salon, and even happy hour.

"Mixed Experience at New Perspectives Assisted Living Facility"

New Perspectives in Sun Prairie has good and bad points. The place looks nice and offers lots of things to do for those who don't need memory care. The food is usually good, and they try to keep everything clean. But, I can't say the same for the memory care part. They don't seem to have enough trained staff there. They told me they don't usually have CNAs because it's not like a nursing place. It's called "Assisted Living Memory Care," but sometimes it feels like they're not assisting much. Some of the staff don't pay attention to the residents. A few really care, but they're not around much. There's no one in charge on the unit, so sometimes things seem unorganized. Supervisors come in a few times a day, but otherwise, the staff are left on their own. They don't check on my parent enough, especially during the day. At dinner, they don't always cut up food for people who need it, which means some don't eat well. They don't have many activities for memory care residents, just a couple of days a week. On other days, there's nothing to do. More activities and engaging staff might help with behavior issues. It's hard to talk to the senior staff about problems because they're hardly ever around. If you have a problem, you might not get an answer unless you catch them in the hallway.

"Great place, but needs better management and housekeeping"

My mom has been here for about a year. We love that she can switch from independent to assisted living without moving. She has a nice apartment with one bedroom, a den, a full kitchen, and a private patio. The building is beautiful, and she likes her place. The activities are great, and the grounds are really nice. The residents and staff are friendly. Overall, we're very happy with the community. There are a few drawbacks. Communication with management is hard. Even though they're friendly and professional, it takes a long time to get a response. Some issues, like billing errors and appliance problems, need multiple follow-ups. Housekeeping services are inconsistent; sometimes they don't show up or don't clean much. When she moved in, there was no orientation, so we had to figure out many things on our own. A "welcome buddy" would be a nice service to offer. Despite these issues, we can overlook them because of all the other benefits.

"Friendly staff, personalized care, and great amenities"

The staff here are friendly and really pay attention to you. They call you by your name and know what you like in the dining area. There are activities if you want to join. You can use my name. They have OT and PT right here. There's even a small warm water pool.

"Nice facility with staffing issues; still recommended overall"

We picked New Perspective because they had space available quickly and the facility seemed nice with many amenities. However, not everything has worked out as promised. They've had staffing shortages, which is a common problem everywhere. Overall, I would recommend this place to others.

"Great location and cozy atmosphere make this a good choice"

We picked New Perspective because it's in a great spot and the place is smaller and cozier. The apartments are really nice, and she's very happy with her choice. I would suggest it to others.

"Great food, lots of activities, and good value for money"

The food is really good, and there's a lot to choose from. They work hard to make sure residents get what they like, which is awesome. There are many activities available my dad enjoys swimming, happy hour, and bible study. It’s a good deal for what you get, though I heard prices might increase soon. I would definitely suggest this place to other families looking for assisted living.

"Careful Consideration Advised for Assisted Living Choice"

This place says you can grow old there, but if you live on your own, you’re really on your own. No one helps you unless you pay a lot more—like $1600 every month. And if you need just a little help, there’s nothing. Since the virus hit, they’ve been super strict, even more than they need to be. They won’t let your family in to help, not even for something small, unless you pay up for the expensive help. They’re so stuck on their rules, they wouldn’t even let someone’s grandma get help from her family to go to the hospital. She had to do everything herself, even though she was sick and could hardly breathe. That’s just not right. And when you come back from the hospital, they just leave you at the door. You’re supposed to manage all by yourself. Who treats people like that after a hospital visit? Think really hard before you pick this place for someone you care about. They seem more interested in making money than in what’s best for the people living there.

"Mixed Experience: Great Staff, Activities, But Inconsistent Food Quality"

The people who work here are really nice, and the building is new and clean. They have lots of things to do, which is fun. I almost gave it 5 stars, but sometimes the food isn't cooked right. Like, the pork can be too dry, and the carrots aren't even warm. But, they do have other food choices besides what they serve each night. So, it's still a really good place to be!

"Beautiful facility, confident in moving mom here."

Beautiful and cheerful newer facility. I’m confident moving mom here.

"Nice Facility with Big Fee"

I checked out this place for my Aunt. We didn't choose it because of the big, nonrefundable fee. The person in charge of marketing was super helpful and told us everything we needed to know. The place is really nice and the people working there are friendly. I think other families would like it too.

3.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great Place, Just Not Within Our Budget"

We checked out New Perspective while searching for a place for my in-laws to live. The place is really welcoming. It’s spacious, has lots of fresh air, and is bright with sunshine. There’s a cozy courtyard too, and the person in charge is super friendly. My family members took a shine to it right away, but the cost was more than we planned for, so we didn’t go for it. But for sure, it’s a wonderful spot if it fits your wallet.

3/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Poor Care And Inadequate Support At Assisted Living Home"

The single bright spot about this place is its stunning surroundings. The inside looks nice and the staff does appear to be helpful; though, in truth, they aren't very supportive. The employees at New Perspective often leave my husband unattended, even with his dementia. They stay huddled on their phones, and there's no overnight nursing available no matter how many caregivers they have. Even though they attempt to get him enthusiastic about activities, if he puts up resistance, they immediately leave him be. My husband, a veteran with 70% disability, gets no personal attention. They were meant to bathe him regularly, but it wasn't until I assisted him that I learned he had no schedule and hadn't been bathed since August! Other residents lacking vigilant family members might be facing a similar situation. I also believe they don't provide enough food. He seems to be constantly hungry and there just doesn't seem to be enough for everyone to have a full meal. They won't assist him in changing for the night; sometimes, he’ll sleep in his day clothes since he can't manage to undress by himself. In the morning, they keep the blinds shut and the lights off. Looking beyond the surface stuff, the real issue is how they care for your loved ones. My husband’s health is deteriorating as they fail to assist him with movement and getting out more frequently. I honestly don't advise this place for anyone and will be shifting him elsewhere at the earliest.

"Parents Settling Well in New Assisted Living Community"

My folks just moved here, and things seem good. Staff helped them adjust, and now they're comfortable in their new home. They like their apartment and find it just right for them. They're excited about joining activities at the center.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great staff and food water therapy is a big plus"

The staff here is amazing! They work really hard and are super nice and helpful. I have to give them a lot of credit. No complaints at all. I really enjoy the water therapy. The food is good and even getting better. They do a great job. I'm really happy I came here.

"Assisted Living Delights with Tasty Food, Fun Activities, and Friendly Staff"

My grandma really likes the food they serve at this place, and she has a lot of fun with the activities they plan. The people who work there are nice too.

3.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Mixed Feelings About Assisted Living: A Resident's Perspective"

I wish there was better nighttime security. The building locks up at 8pm, making it difficult to get in afterward. I enjoy the activities when I can participate, but my health is changing, so it's becoming harder. The food is good, and if there's something I don't like, they're quick to fix it or offer something else. I moved here to be closer to my children.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Glad for the help, activities, and friends made here."

I'm really happy with everything people have done for me. I’ve joined lots of activities, and they even have a wheelchair lift on the bus! I've made many friends here and received a lot of help from the staff with getting settled and sorting out my insurance. I’m so glad I’m here. I would definitely recommend it!

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Helpful staff, great care, and fun activities. Very pleased."

We are really happy with New Perspective. When we had a family emergency, the staff helped us out. I had to have emergency surgery, and they made sure Norma was safe, which was my biggest worry. The staff is always nice and ready to help when we need it. We also enjoy the activities and trips.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Good place but pricey and the heating could be better."

Overall, this place is pretty good, but it is expensive. I’m in assisted living and my wife is in memory care. I just wish they didn’t use forced air heating.

"Unsatisfied Tenant in Pet-Friendly Retirement Home"

I enjoy the outings we go on. They serve beer and wine at the bar but I wish they had Scotch too. It bothers me that pets weren't allowed when I first moved in, but now they've changed that rule.

3.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Community Volunteer Enjoys Clean Living Environment"

Sometimes it takes a bit to get things fixed in the apartment because there's only one maintenance person right now. But overall, the community is nice and clean. I also get to volunteer and help out a lot.

3.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Welcoming Community with Helpful Staff"

Moving from a farm to a community was tough at first. But the staff made settling in easier. Now, I’m content here. Everyone, both residents and staff, is super friendly. They’re always there for me when I need help.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Thrilled Resident"

I love this place! There are tons of activities, friendly people, and I'm thrilled to be here. It'd be even better if more residents joined in. So many things to do, and it's all free—crafts, exercise, trips, and entertainment. I'm enjoying every moment!

3/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Changes to Staffing and Fees Not Welcomed by Resident"

I really like my living space! However, seeing new staff frequently is upsetting. When this place was under 'Lighthouse', it had a homely vibe, but that seem to fade now. I'm also unhappy with the alterations in the pricing system.

3.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Living Independently with Nearby Help"

I have been here almost 4 years. Moving from Florida was a big change, but I'm happy to be closer to my daughter. I love volunteering and helping other residents. I don't want to move again, and I worry about future costs for senior living. I'm independent, and I like that help is available if I need it.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great community for independent living and making friends."

I live independently here and can come and go as I please. I love the community and the friends I've made. I really enjoy my time here. Even as getting out becomes harder, there are plenty of activities I can still enjoy.

"Assisted Living: Mom Happy, Some Staff Changes, Overall Recommendable"

This place is really nice. It's well-maintained and Mom enjoys it here. She says the food is good and they give her plenty. Her apartment is cozy. They have stuff to do every day and even a place to get her hair done. Most of the people who work here are nice, but some change a lot. They were really helpful to us, though, so I think it's a good place to live.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great place for Mom and me—positive, friendly, and welcoming!"

This is a great place for both my mom and me to live. The atmosphere is positive and friendly, and it’s a peaceful place, but there are also plenty of activities to join if you want. The food is good, and it’s pet-friendly, which is a big plus for us. The staff is always ready to answer questions and is very accommodating. They’ve made our family and visitors feel welcome. There are also helpful amenities available for seniors when needed.

"Overpriced Services, Underpaid Staff, and Poor Standards at New Perspective!"

These folks are a bunch of scammers! They jack up prices and deliver lousy service. Worse, they’re cheating their staff by tampering with time-clocks so they don’t get paid for all their overtime. Basically, they’re short-changing not only their staff but cheating Wisconsin, and the IRS out of taxes and social security contributions. The facility itself doesn't meet acceptable standards, it's a classic case for an OSHA violation. Their staff also lacks the necessary qualifications required by Wisconsin - that’s not the employees' fault, but entirely on New Perspective! It seems like a team of shady individuals leading more innocent ones. I urge you to save your time, money, and, most importantly, protect your loved ones from unnecessary pain & suffering! Stay clear of any New Perspective establishment, particularly the one in Sun Prairie, WI!

"Excellent Care and Friendly Staff!"

My loved one really enjoys living here. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. They always go above and beyond. The facility is clean, and they even have outings that my loved one has attended. The people are amazing. There's a lady, who is incredibly kind. Plus, the lady in the office always remembers my name and even took the time to chat with me during one of my visits.

"Lack of Future Care Programs Despite Good Service"

We visited the place and all was good. They were ready and punctual, even answered all our questions. However, we didn't think they had programs that would be useful to us later on. They treated my mom well and explained their care plans.

"Luxurious Assisted Living Facility: Amazing Amenities but Pricey for Us"

Wow, this place was amazing! It felt like stepping onto a fancy cruise ship when we walked in. Everything looked really fancy, and they had so many cool things for the people who live there, like an indoor pool. Our tour was fantastic, but unfortunately, it's all self-pay, and my family and I can't afford it.

"Great Place with Friendly Staff and Delicious Meals!"

My mom is settling in really well at this community. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. Everyone seems happy and they’re always smiling. The place is always clean and spotless. The food is amazing every time I talk to her, she can't stop praising it. She has no complaints at all. They also have lots of fun activities going on all the time. We would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a great community!

"Great focus on veterans and excellent amenities!"

My wife and I chose this community for my parents for many reasons. During our tour, we met several residents who couldn't stop praising the place and how much they enjoy living here. I also loved that they focus on veterans, which is great since my dad is a vet. My mom was excited to see the therapeutic pool available for all residents, along with other awesome amenities. The administration has done a fantastic job accommodating my parents' living arrangements, giving them a large living room, full kitchen, and spacious bedroom.

"Wonderful place for my mom"

My mom moved in about a month ago. We’ve been really impressed by how smoothly she settled in. The staff, including caregivers, dining, and office staff, are all super friendly. The place is always clean and well-maintained. Almost every day, there’s at least one activity my mom enjoys. There are lots of activity areas. I highly recommend the Lighthouse community.

"Great respite stay; parents loved it and will return."

My parents stayed in a furnished studio for a short stay. The Lighthouse went all out to make them comfortable. They were very happy with the food, activities, and their room. They made friends fast and loved their time there. When they need a permanent place, they will come back.

"Review - Concerns of Large Spaces at Assisted Living Facility"

The shared social space is huge. I believe a person with memory loss could easily become disoriented and lose their way because of its vastness.

"Feels Like a Fancy Hotel with Great Food and Activities!"

My mom is really enjoying her time at Lighthouse of Sun Prairie. It feels like a fancy hotel. It’s a bit nicer than some other places. They have lots of activities, and she’s getting more involved. She loves the food, and I’ve tried it too and thought it was great.

"Great care for father in hospice. Highly recommend!"

The Lighthouse took amazing care of our father in his final days. They were so kind and welcomed me and my husband. They went above and beyond to support us during this tough time. We wish he could have lived there before needing hospice care. Great people and a great place! I hope it's still the same when we consider assisted living for ourselves. Thank you to all the staff!

"Review of The Lighthouse Assisted Living - Safe, Fun, and Caring"

I moved to The Lighthouse from Florida because my daughter suggested it. I'm so happy here! The staff is amazing, and I have a nice apartment with my own stuff. I noticed the library needed some care, so I helped out. The residents love what the library has to offer. I've even found a new hobby in painting. The activities are great for people over 70. It's a caring community where Mom or Dad can be safe, stay busy, and stay active both mentally and physically.

"The Lighthouse: Outstanding care and facility, highly recommended!"

My parents have lived here since 2014. They’re 90 and 91. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and the place. After a tough experience with my father-in-law at another facility, The Lighthouse feels like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend them. They are really outstanding.

"The Lighthouse of S.P.: A Safe and Fun Place"

I moved to the Lighthouse from Florida because my daughter wanted me to. I’m really happy here. The staff is amazing! I have a nice apartment with my own stuff. The library needed some love, so I helped out. We found out that painting is a lot of fun. The activities are great and perfect for people over 70. It’s a caring community where mom or dad can feel safe, have fun, and stay active both mentally and physically.

"Touring The Lighthouse: Impressive amenities and helpful staff"

The Lighthouse is a lovely, modern, and welcoming place. The staff I met while searching for an independent living spot for my parents were friendly and knowledgeable. The Community Relations Director answered all my questions and gave great advice on discussing the move with my parents. I was impressed by the focus on the whole person. The facility has top-notch amenities and offers many daily activities.

"Perfect Assisted Living for Mom with Memory Loss"

My mom needed assisted living when she got dementia. She’s very active and loves doing many things, but her short-term memory loss made it hard for her to live alone. The Lighthouse is perfect for her. She has all the good things about independent living (even better!). She has a kitchen, living/dining room, bedroom, and bathroom. Best of all, she has a screened-in balcony! And it’s all for less money than just a bedroom and bathroom in other places. She gets the help she needs when she needs it, but she also has her privacy. The staff are amazing - caring and friendly. She is happier than I’ve seen her in a long time!

"Lighthouse of Sun Prairie Shines"

The folks at Lighthouse of Sun Prairie are awesome. The place is super nice, and they offer lots of cool activities. My only thing is sometimes we need to remind them about the services we signed up for, but overall, it's been really good.

"Great job overall with friendly staff and good atmosphere."

They're doing a great job. I was pleased with the assisted living; they were very helpful and informative. Communication in memory care was a bit tough during the holidays. It’s still new and there's more to learn. We picked them for their friendly staff who made us feel comfortable. I liked the atmosphere and location too.

"Beautiful, large facility with companion room and kitchen options"

This place is much bigger than Clare Bridge. It’s a beautiful facility. I saw several aides helping residents. I like the idea of a companion room where my mom could have a roommate, which she wants. She could also help in the kitchen, which she would love. I’m just not sure if she would feel lost because it’s much bigger than Clare Bridge.

"Wonderful place with caring staff"

My parents moved into the Lighthouse a few months ago. We had been looking for independent and assisted living places for a few years. My parents had specific needs and wants for their next home. The beautiful facility and apartments at the Lighthouse were an easy choice. They also liked that they can stay in the same apartment as they need more care. The staff at the Lighthouse made my parents' move pretty easy. Everyone is always so nice and helpful. They make sure my parents are meeting new people, are well taken care of, and understand my parents' needs. After bad experiences with other places, the Lighthouse is like a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend the Lighthouse.

"Impressive presentation and professional staff made a strong impact"

Big thanks to the team at the Lighthouse of SP.

"Terrible Care at Betty’s Harbor"

The meals at Betty's Harbor taste good, but they aren't chopped up or supervised while being eaten. It seems like there's no set bathroom schedule, and you have to request the staff to help change your family member's dirty clothes. My mom's health care power of attorney isn't usually informed about big changes regarding her. We've also found a few unexplained bruises on her in her time here. I wouldn't suggest Betty's Harbor if you care about your loved one.

"Great place, clean and new, but too far away."

We visited this place while looking for options for our loved one. It looked great—clean, new, and the staff was friendly. It was my top choice among all the places we saw, but it was too far for us to visit often.

"Budget Concerns in Spacious Assisted Living Facility"

This place was great. It was one of our top choices, but it felt pretty big and pricey. They had a two-bed option in case she ran out of money, which we figured would happen in about five years if she moved here. But they weren't sure if she could stay there long-term, and we didn't want to have to move her again.
