Heritage Point Assisted Living and Memory Care in Mishawaka delivers a single, focused level of service—Memory Care—designed for residents who may be living with early to advanced dementia. The team is prepared to manage a range of clinical needs, including wandering behaviors at any hour, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral challenges, wound care, oxygen use, and diabetes management whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or a sliding scale. Residents who stay awake through the night receive monitoring and redirection, and the community accepts individuals with advanced dementia or psychiatric conditions that often accompany cognitive decline.
An RN or LPN is always on staff, and a licensed nurse is on-site 24 hours a day. Staff members undergo background checks, and the night shift remains awake. Safety measures include a fully fenced rear area, door alarms, pull-cord alerts in rooms, and 24-hour security coverage. A visiting podiatrist, a therapy room for on-site rehabilitation, and acceptance of psychiatric services expand medical oversight. Direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can feed themselves are encouraged to do so. Mobility support ranges from standby help with a walker to one- or two-person transfers and full transfers using a Hoyer lift.
Residences feature private bathrooms, basic furnishings, and individual temperature controls, and families can add personal touches by painting or decorating the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, although not every accommodation offers every listed feature, so it is advisable to confirm details when touring.
Meals follow a set menu, and snacks are available throughout the day. When needed, residents may dine in their rooms or reserve a private dining room for family gatherings. The culinary team accommodates gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets to support medical or personal preferences.
Throughout the property, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services are available to promote comfort and routine.
