The meals have been great and my father-in-law especially looks forward to eating in the dining room and having three hot meals a day. It is nice that we can stop by anytime and join them for a meal - and we have done this many times. They are working with physical therapy for strengthening and improved balance. In the month they have lived there, their health has improved thanks to better nutrition, more physical activity, and more socialization. The staff have been kind and helpful and if there is a question or concern, simply reaching out corrects it. The staff have gotten to know my in-laws and understand their needs and how they can help. They have adjusted quicker than we expected to the move, and feel at home in their new apartment. We are thankful to have them living so close to us and know that they are in a safe and healthy environment. We are grateful to the staff at New Perspective!

I would highly recommend the advisory services and expertise of Claire Merkt…read more Our family was struggling to find the right facility to ensure our mother (diagnosed with alzheimer's disease ) was safe and well cared for. Claire's took the time to assess our family needs and requirements. Claire utilized her skills and market knowledge to identify 3-4 facilities for our family to tour and speak with management. In the end, because of Claire's direct involvement and expertise, we selected a great environment for our mother. Thank you again Claire!!!

Toured Vista West on the first day they were open. It's a beautiful building. I love the location…read morebut it's city living and maybe not for everyone. I liked many things about it but I wish the apartments were a little bigger with a den or offer 3 bedrooms. I've toured other CCRC's and wish I could combine bits and pieces of each to make it perfect for me. A pool with a shelf would be fantastic and a stadium seating theater room. Another ccrc that I toured had a long counter with coffee machine that made any kind of coffee you'd like. tea, popcorn, soda machine, fresh fruit and soft serve ice cream machine open all day at no additional cost. That was a nice touch. I might move in one day if I don't find anything better. I liked that it's not a buy-in life lease as I don't like that model of senior living. I've heard that 55 plus places in Madison have a 3 year waiting list! I'll keep touring and researching. I like to be prepared.

Actually, I took a tour today (of their independent living apartments for seniors); I'm about to…read moreretire. The staff person was very nice, the artwork in the common areas is very tasteful, the place overall appears to be very well built, and much of it is lovely. The units all have generous closet space, lots of outlets. Cable TV and phone are included in the [not inexpensive] monthly rent. And, to their great credit, they don't charge a huge "endowment" fee up front, as many similar facilities do. But for all the monthly rent, and after as long as I've lived and as hard as I've worked, I want this, my last move, to be into a real HOME . . . not just someplace for me to be warehoused -- and definitely not into some dime a dozen place like those modern "luxury" apartments built to lure yuppies into "urban" living. I have no use for those "creative" marketers who slap names on things which bear no relation to reality: you know, names like "Forest ____" (when there is no forest), or "___ Glen" (when there is no glen), or "Willow ___" (when there are no willows). In other words, the only "vistas" to be seen from most of the windows or balconies at "Vista West" are views of parking lots, streets, businesses and office buildings. Yuk. Not at any price, thank you.

Years ago a loved one was in the skilled nursing section of Capitol Lakes. I was struggling to…read morelower him into his wheelchair while a nursing assistant who was in the room did not lift a finger to help me. He slid to the floor. Another time I visited and my loved one was sitting in his wheelchair in a puddle of pee which had pooled on the floor. Another time I was berated by a staff member because she couldn't find his shoes, which were in his closet, like I told her. I also got accused of stealing food from the kitchen, which turned out to be unfounded. I tripped and fell coming out of the elevator because it wasn't level with the floor. Hopefully the place has improved.

First and foremost is the location, only 2 blocks from the square. Secondly, Capitol Lakes has multiple levels of care, including Senior Housing, Assisted Living and a Nursing Home that includes Dementia Care. In Senior Housing, all unites have a full kitchen. There are also 3 restaurants. Including The Seasons, The Cafe and The Lunchbox. There are Heated garages and large, walk-in storage lockers. There is a large health facility with 2 swimming pools, a hot tub andhigh end exercise equipment. There is an on-site beauty salon. They also provide classes, lectures and programs on a daily basis. Everyone shopping for retirement residences must take a look at Capitol Lakes!

It was the most horrible experience that I am still having nightmares about. The social worker (AS) was absolutely horrible. She had previously been A social worker in a juvenile detention center and she treated the residents with suspicion as though they were juvenile delinquents. That woman was eventually fired after my parents had passed but the damage was done. When my father was old and sick she asked me if he thought it was time to give up and die. My mother had every single thing stolen from her. Everything. This social worker put her in a room, after my father died, with a crazy woman who stole everything from my mother. I went to visit and the drawers were empty her closets were empty all of her jewelry was gone every knickknack she ever owned had been stolen. Like I said this is a nightmare I have to live with for the rest of my life. They were so neglected and because I lived out of state I would call constantly and of course I was told everything was fine. When I would visit everything was not fine and I would raise holy hell. Stay as far away from this hell hole as possible....well, unless you hate your loved one.
