Field Pointe in St. Joseph, MO delivers three distinct levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care. Residents with wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, those prone to elopement, and individuals living with advanced dementia can receive targeted supervision and interventions. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock, providing quick clinical oversight for medication management, monitoring chronic conditions, and responding to emergencies.
Additional safeguards include background-checked personnel, an awake night shift, and 24-hour security with alarmed doors, a fenced rear perimeter, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems. On-site podiatry visits and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents who need hands-on help can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, along with transfer support ranging from standby help to one-person lifts using walkers or wheelchairs. An activity director coordinates structured programs throughout the day.
Apartments are designed for practicality. Layouts may feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry, though not every unit has every amenity. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry services, and a monthly meal plan without sacrificing their autonomy.
Daily dining offers both set menus and made-to-order choices, with snacks available at any hour. A private dining room can be reserved for family visits, and the kitchen staff manages specialized diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified meals. These options allow residents to maintain nutritional goals while accommodating personal preferences.
Residents have access to on-site parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and wellness rooms, a movie room, communal gardens, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments. Internet access supports virtual communication and entertainment, and regular religious services are held on campus. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
