About Salida Woods by New Perspective

Placing its focus on happiness, Salida Woods is the place to be for exceptional care, spacious living areas, meaningful activities, and good eats. As soon as you’re settled, you’ll want to rise early for a taste of the experienced culinary team’s loaded omelet and brioche French Toast, not to mention the other satisfying menu items. After your flavorful meal, you can take your pick of quiet pastimes like reading a book beside the fire, playing a game of chess with a friend, or showing off your green thumb in the courtyard. To stay on the move, you can participate in an exercise class or head out for bigger adventures with your community friends to the nearby malls and lakes. When you’re up for a day trip, join your friends to soak up the lakeside air at Mentor Headlands Beach, the largest natural sand beach in the state just under an hour away.

Family experience

I am happy with Salida Woods. The staff and care are pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness is great, it's a one bedroom apartment. I would recommend Salida Woods to others who are currently searching for a place for their loved one.

Toured Salida Woods and a handful of other communities in and around Mentor recently. This community is the one our family agreed will be perfect for dad. We can see him making friends and enjoying the common areas, especially the courtyard. The team and gentleman we met with was very welcoming and put all of our concerns to ease about planning a move.

mom's stay at Salida Woods (Mentor, OH)

From the moment we walked into Salida Woods, we felt a sense of warmth and genuine care. The staff greeted us with kindness, and it was clear that residents here are treated like family. Their team goes above and beyond to make sure mom feels safe and is joining in on the daily fun. We don't have to worry like we used to when she was home alone.

I recently toured Salida Woods with my mother as a possible place for her. I found Salida Woods to be such a welcoming and homey place. We were greeted by[Name Removed] who answered all of our questions and eased my mind about what kind of place Salida Woods is. And it seems welcoming, active, safe, clean and homey.
