My mother put a down payment on New Perspective Senior Living - Franklin. It's only two years old, so it had a new feel to it. It did not feel anything close to a traditional nursing home. It felt almost more like a resort or a hotel type of thing when you walk into the lobby there. There are two reasons why we ended up going with New Perspective. One of the reasons is my mom and dad want to be in the same unit together. However, my dad had a stroke, so he'll need some support, whereas my mom is independent still. At New Perspective, they could be in the same two-bedroom unit together, even though he's receiving different care than she would be. That was the only place that we found that could do that. Also, my dad loves to swim and that was one thing that he can do, even though he's still sort of paralyzed on his left side. This had an indoor pool that he could use all year long. Those two things were the major deciding factors going with New Perspective. We toured where the two bedrooms were. My father will be listed as assisted living and my mom will be listed as independent living there in the same unit together. It doesn't separate assisted living from independent living. That was a major, major plus for us because my mom and dad wanted to be in the same unit together. The staff during the tour was awesome. Her name was Peggy and she was incredible. She was very knowledgeable and very personable, and she had a good demeanor about her and made us feel very comfortable. The dining area looked immaculate. It's not a cafeteria. There were tables with linen napkins. It had a real feel of a higher-end hotel or resort than a senior living. It's got to be the gold standard of what other places can be ranked from. I have nothing negative to say about the staff at all.
