New Perspective Golden Valley is licensed for assisted living and is prepared to manage residents with a wide range of medical needs. Care teams are experienced supporting people who wander during the day or at night, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, or stay up throughout the night. Nurses oversee diabetes care for residents on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing, and staff manage oxygen therapy, wound care, and special diets. The community also admits adults under 60 and supports advanced dementia conditions, coordinating closely with physicians to maintain consistent treatment plans.
Clinical oversight is strengthened by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees complete background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents. Safety features include door alarms, WanderGuard technology, fenced outdoor areas, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems. A podiatrist visits on site, and caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support for walkers to two-person and Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound individuals.
Apartments are designed for comfort and accessibility. Floor plans may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate; not every unit has every feature, so families should confirm specifics during a tour. Wide doorways and step-free layouts support wheelchair users, and maintenance staff handle repairs and routine upkeep.
Dining services balance structure and choice. Residents can select daily specials from a set menu or order made-to-request items, and snacks are available between meals. The culinary team accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic, low-sodium, and texture-altered plans, and nurses monitor intake for those who need nutritional oversight.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outside smoking areas, and transportation for medical appointments or errands. The building is wheelchair accessible and offers a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and a walking club. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
