New Perspective Senior Living | Waconia offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in a setting that tries to help seniors stay as active and independent as possible, and folks who need extra help can get it, like with bathing, dressing, or medication management, with a nursing team and well-trained staff on call all day and night, and there's a 24-hour call system for peace of mind. There are eighty-three apartments for assisted living and memory care, and the community has studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, even some cottages, with in-unit washers and dryers, stainless steel appliances, and modern kitchens with granite countertops and center islands in several units, so it feels a bit like home, and pets can come along too because the place is pet-friendly.
People who want more independence can pick the independent living option, which has a maintenance-free set up, housekeeping, laundry, transportation to local shops, group outings, and a daily activity calendar with social events like book clubs, movie nights, community events, gardening, happy hours, and card games, so there's something to look forward to just about every day, and it's meant for folks aged fifty-five and up. Dining is a big part of life here, with chef-prepared, home-cooked meals offered in a cozy dining room, a café for coffee or reading, and a pub where neighbors watch games or join in gatherings, all prepared by an experienced culinary team who likes to make old favorites, sometimes with a twist.
The memory care area was designed for people living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, with staff trained in dementia care, secure spaces to prevent wandering, and daily activities focused on cognitive engagement so that folks can stay connected and feel joy, and there's a focus on dignity and respect. Care here is personalized, and there's coordination with health providers, quick access to Waconia hospitals, pharmacies, dialysis, and urgent care services, plus physical and occupational therapy on site, with a therapy gym and gardens for outdoor time.
The community is easy to get around, with wheelchair-accessible showers and full tubs, a secured courtyard, a garden patio for fresh air, an activity great room, a dance hall, a chapel for spiritual needs, and a heated pool and fitness center for staying active-all set in a spot that's close to shopping, restaurants, and nature in Waconia, so residents can keep a bit of their old routine. The social calendar stays packed, with movie nights, club activities, group outings, and on-site devotional services. Staff is focused on physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and whole-person health gets support no matter the care level.
There's help for folks who need short-term care with respite stays, and the whole place is known for peace of mind for families, friendly neighbors, and a zero-maintenance lifestyle that tries to let seniors focus on what matters most-spending time together, staying active, and enjoying what each day brings. The place has earned a few community awards for care and friendliness, is current with its state licensing, and is operated as a division of Odom Health & Wellness while being part of the New Perspective Senior Living group, which has a focus on caring for the whole person. Tours are available to help folks see what daily life is like, with a look at dining, apartments, and activities.
