They were also able to get my mom to do activities, which the other two places she lived were not able to do, which made us feel like she was part of community. They also asked us questions to get to know mom better, at meals they would sit with the residents and talk about their families or interests, it was very nice to feel like they were trying to get to know mom. Every time we asked mom if she liked it there, her response was always, "I really like it here" Toward the end for my mom, my sisters and I spent a lot of time in her room. The staff was amazing to us, brought us snacks, water, coffee, etc. They also would stop by her room and check on her and us to make sure there wasn't anything we needed. At the same time they gave us our privacy during a very difficult time. When my mom passed, I was pleased with how many people came in and told us something about how mom touched their lives. I am so happy that we chose BLC for my mom!

My father has been at Benedictine on two separate occasions and for two very different reasons. The…read morefirst time it was due to having a knee replacement done. He thrived there and therapy was wonderful. The aides were so nice to him and great to us as a family when we had question. That was 2 1/2 years ago, since that time my father has had not one but two strokes and spent 5 months a Benedictine trying to get back to whatever is to be his new normal. We were very unsure if he would even walk again. My father is now in an assisted living facility and doing very well. No he is not what he used to be but thanks to therapy and the help of the nursing staff and aides at Benedictine his is able to walk and do many more things than we ever thought possible. They are amazing people that do amazing things for the residents that live there. They have a tough job but always found time to cheer him up and on. Without them I am sure he would not be were he is. Thank you all at Benedictine for making his life better, and know this if he ever has to make a nursing home his permanent place to live he would want it to be at Benedictine.

I can't help but give this place 5 stars. It's been a godsend to my very, very picky mother. She…read morewants nothing but the best and is able to find fault with anything, but here she is hard-pressed to find reasons to gripe. Their advertising and presence on the internet is pretty much spot-on. Gorgeous place with wonderful amenities at a price that is amazingly affordable for the level of luxury. But my main rave is the staff. Haven't found one who doesn't seem to really enjoy their job and be willing to go very far out of their way to be of help. Amazing! My mother has one gripe--the food. They are served 3 meals a day restaurant style in lovely surroundings, but with only one choice. My mother says the grade of meat they serve is not up to her (very high) standards. I don't know if this is true, but coming from a vegetarian with very peculiar eating habits, I take that with a grain of salt. The meals I've enjoyed there are always great. With a library, in-house piano recitals, well-appointed apartment units and livelier than expected residents, this place is tough to fault on any level. I hope and trust that is they pay their employees as much as they possibly can and that their lowest wage meets the $15/hour non-poverty requirement!

There's something truly wonderful about the atmosphere at American Heritage Assisted Living. I have…read morewatched many loved ones go through the process of accepting they cannot maintain their own care at home and must begin looking for an assisted living facility. Accepting this reality can bring up many feelings for all involved - fear, anger, sadness, and helplessness. However, the minute we stepped inside American Heritage for our tour, the staff greeting us made us feel right at home. The Director of Nursing, Amanda, was phenomenal. Her caring actions demonstrated her commitment to listening to, and meeting, our needs, wants, and feelings. In addition to her medical expertise, she provided detailed explanations that eased everyone's anxiety. The rest of the staff are highly professional and caring, and will go the extra mile to assist you in any way they can. The owner of the facility, Nancy, is deeply involved and cares greatly for the residents and employees. It is evident in the atmosphere in the home that she leads with a positive, caring attitude (i.e. trickle-down effect). In and of itself, the home deserves a review. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood near parks, trails, shopping, and various restaurants for you and your loved one to explore together. Its interior is breathtakingly beautiful, exceptionally clean, and equipped with modern safety features. And did I mention that there is an on-site chef?! If you or a loved one is looking for assisted living, look no further. I promise you won't be disappointed.

She was always alone in her room, they never brought her out to socialize or interact with others. Communication was almost non-existent unless initiated by us. The final straw was when one of the other residents, who should have had closer supervision, fell into my mom giving her a traumatic brain injury when my mom banged her head on the floor board and laid in a pool of blood. She was in the hospital for almost one week and nobody from New Perspectives even inquired to see how she was doing. Now she is confined to a wheelchair, needs more care and her brain will never be the same. After this we moved her to a place in St. Peter, best decision ever to leave New Perspective. Residents are just dollar signs to New Perspective.
