New Perspective Highland Park delivers assisted-living support designed for older adults who want help with the routine tasks of daily life while still maintaining as much independence as possible. Care teams provide scheduled and unscheduled assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility, medication reminders, and other personal needs, combining a residential setting with readily available staff so residents do not have to manage these tasks alone.
For residents who require more specific clinical attention, the community offers short-term respite stays, diabetes monitoring and management, on-site physician visits, and access to a speech therapist. The building is a secured community, an added layer of safety for individuals who may be prone to wandering or who simply value controlled access to their living environment.
Apartments are available in several floor plans, and features differ by unit. Many homes include a kitchenette, private bathroom with wheelchair-accessible shower, independent temperature controls, cable or satellite TV hookups, and Wi-Fi. Residents can personalize their spaces, including the option to paint or decorate, and select units allow pets. Common areas feature a central fireplace, outdoor seating, and convenient parking for residents and guests. Because amenities vary, prospective residents should confirm availability for any must-have features during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times a day, with guest meals available upon request. Residents may order from a set menu or choose made-to-order options, and snacks are accessible between meals. The culinary team can accommodate vegetarian diets, low or no-sodium requirements, no-sugar selections, and other physician-ordered diet modifications, ensuring that nutrition plans align with individual health goals.
Daily life is complemented by an activity center, library and computer lounge, jacuzzi, and raised garden beds for those who like to work in the soil. Social programming includes happy hours, birthday celebrations, dances, live music, and regular outings into the wider St. Paul community, allowing residents to maintain an active and connected lifestyle.
