Review for New Perspective Mankato

Staff here is wonderful, they always seem happy and very helpful. There seems to be something going on everyday through the weekdays but things seem to go to your own resources on the weekends. There are a lot of people on the food program and seem to be happy with it. We do our own cooking in our apartment.

Response from the community

Hi, Thank you for your kind words about our Mankato team—we’re so glad you find them helpful and uplifting. We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the weekday activities and that many residents are pleased with the dining program. We’ll keep your feedback in mind as we look for ways to enhance weekends for Independent Living residents.

Good food

My brother really likes New Perspective in Mankato. Says it's good food and he has a very nice room with laundry. the rates keep going up and hard to keep general staff.... a few weeks ago I ate there with my brother and the CEO and maintenance workers were serving the food cuz of worker shortage.... but they did a good job!! But staffing is a problem everywhere in these types of places.

Response from the community

Hi, We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the food quality and care provided. Staffing can sometimes present challenges, but we remain committed to supporting our team members with competitive wages and comprehensive benefits. When short-term staffing issues occur due to excused absences such as illness or vacation, we proactively supplement our team with support from leadership in other departments to maintain consistent care. That is likely what you experienced. If you'd like to discuss your concerns further, please reach out directly at info@npseniorliving.com.

Awesome Caring Community

Friendly staff, clean and inviting environment. Often see the executive director and other leaders helping and on the floor. You typically don't see this anywhere. Wonderful place for my dad and now my mom.
