The Heritage at Fountain Point in Norfolk, Nebraska offers two primary levels of care: assisted living and memory care. Licensed nurses supervise medication management, health monitoring, and coordination of outside medical appointments. Care staff remain on site around the clock, responding to emergency calls and assisting with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. For residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, the secure memory care neighborhood provides structured routines, specialized programming, and behavioral support plans to help reduce confusion and agitation while preserving dignity.
Additional clinical services include regular wellness assessments, fall-prevention checks, and the scheduling of rehabilitative therapies through outside providers. The community arranges on-site visits from physicians, podiatrists, and other specialists to limit unnecessary travel for residents. Transportation is available for dialysis, chemotherapy, and follow-up appointments in the greater Norfolk area. Care plans are reviewed with families at set intervals, and adjustments are made promptly if residents’ conditions change.
Apartments range from studios to larger one- and two-bedroom layouts, each designed with senior-friendly bathrooms, emergency response pull cords, and wide doorways to accommodate mobility devices. Many units offer kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and ample closet space, while select floor plans add features such as walk-in showers or private patios. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, but not all accommodations contain every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific details during a tour.
Residents receive three meals daily in the main dining room, where table service and adjustable portion sizes support varying physical and nutritional needs. Menus are created with input from a dietitian to address diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-ordered diets, and texture-modified options are available for those with swallowing difficulties. Snacks and beverages remain accessible at all times, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team welcomes feedback and routinely rotates entrées to maintain variety and encourage adequate calorie intake.
