Overview of New Perspective Faribault

New Perspective Faribault offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Faribault, MN, with 65 beds. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision.

Having all three care levels in one community suits a resident whose needs may grow over time, since moving to another level does not require starting over at a different community.

Respite care provides a short stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. On-site occupational and physical therapy allow residents to receive rehabilitation without arranging outside transportation, and transportation is available for community outings. Gardening, happy hour, and games offer scheduled ways to spend time, while a secured courtyard provides an outdoor area within the community; pets are allowed for residents who want to bring one. Medicare is accepted as a payment option, generally covering short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence. With a Walk Score of 39, the area is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride. Brianna LaZerte serves as the director.
