Global Pointe Senior Living in Golden Valley, MN, delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain on one campus even if their needs change. Medical oversight covers common and complex concerns, including day or night wandering, elopement risk, up-all-night behavior, wound care, oxygen management, and special diets. The nursing team also supports residents who manage diabetes by oral medication or insulin injections, and the community is equipped to serve people living with advanced dementia.
Direct clinical support is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, an on-call nurse 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift. Background-checked employees, a secured perimeter with a fenced rear area, and a PERS system that alerts staff add layers of safety. Podiatry visits and a dedicated therapy room are available on site, and full assistance can be provided for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility help ranges from simple standby support to one-person and two-person transfers, including full transfers with a Hoyer lift.
Apartments may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, housekeeping, and in-unit laundry, although not every unit has every option. Dining is flexible; residents can order meals, pick up snacks throughout the day, and reserve a private dining room for guests. The kitchen can prepare mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-directed diets. Independent Living residents can choose additional housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan that brings some structure without the full service package of Assisted Living.
Residents can drive themselves using on-site parking, join scheduled transportation, or relax on campus with wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access points, communal gardens, and a library. An activities calendar includes special-interest clubs and on-site religious services, while concierge staff help coordinate appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
