Independent Living
I think Old Main Village is a really awesome place. They have so many activities and opportunities for social interaction. The facility always looks really clean. The public bathrooms downstairs are clean. The staff all seem really friendly. I would move there myself in a heartbeat. My loved one is having a hard time adjusting and is not participating for reasons outside of their control, but I think it's a really nice place.
Everything that was promised has been delivered. It's a very nice place. My mom feels very at home and comfortable there, which is a huge part of it. I definitely recommend the apartments and the community.
We chose New Perspective Prior Lake over others that we looked at because the facility was close by, she could be independent in her own apartment and could add services when needed. It was clean, food is good and staff is friendly. All of the staff have been very helpful. We haven't tried many activities yet and she does not really require much care either.
