The Pointe at Kirby Gate Assisted Living & Memory Care provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, including support for residents living with advanced dementia. Medical services cover oxygen administration, physician-ordered special diets, and comprehensive diabetic care for individuals on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is stationed on site 24 hours a day, backed by an additional nurse on call. Night-shift team members remain awake, while pull-cord and PERS systems send direct alerts to staff, ensuring a prompt clinical response whenever health needs arise.
On-site resources extend to dental care, a dedicated therapy room with full-time rehabilitation staff, and scheduled geriatric psychiatry visits. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained to manage transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or a one-person lift. Fenced front and rear areas, alarmed doors, and continual supervision by an activity director help maintain safety and structure, especially for residents who may be prone to wandering.
Apartments are offered in several layouts, some of which feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and individual climate controls; not every unit includes every feature, so confirming specific details during a tour is recommended. Housekeeping services and scheduled laundry pick-ups are included in the monthly care package.
Dining operates on an on-order system that lets residents choose meals at each sitting, with snacks available throughout the day and in-room dining arranged as needed. The kitchen staff supports a range of diet modifications, including gluten-free menus, vegetarian options, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, and thickened liquids for those with swallowing challenges.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, activity room, comfortable living room, and a secure courtyard. Internet access is provided, and on-site religious services meet spiritual preferences. Transportation is available through a scheduled shuttle focused on medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
