Dogwood Pointe in Milan, Tennessee, provides two primary levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need help with daily activities receive support through the assisted-living program, while those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia are served in a dedicated memory-care setting. The community also accepts individuals for respite or short-term stays, making it a practical option for family caregivers who need a temporary break. For residents managing chronic conditions, staff members are trained in diabetes care, including blood-glucose monitoring and diet compliance.
The building is a secured community, an important feature for residents prone to wandering or those who need a controlled environment. Medical oversight extends to on-site incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, hospice coordination, and full medication management. Because Dogwood Pointe is a memory-care-only community, its care team is specifically trained to recognize and respond to cognitive changes, ensuring consistent attention to safety and well-being.
Accommodations range from private to companion suites, all of which are air conditioned, and many have views of the landscaped outdoor areas. Select units are pet friendly, and some are designed to be fully handicap accessible for residents who use mobility devices. A piano or organ in common space offers opportunities for music sessions, and on-site parking is available for residents or visiting family members. Not every suite includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining services provide three meals a day along with snacks, with menus that can be adapted for low- or no-sodium and no-sugar diets. Guest meals are available, allowing family or friends to dine on site. Trained staff oversee portion sizes and nutrition to align with physician-ordered dietary plans, particularly for residents with diabetes or other medical restrictions.
Amenities focus on keeping residents socially and physically engaged. The Activity Center hosts daily programs, while a swimming pool offers low-impact exercise options. A library and computer lounge supports quiet reading and internet access, and organized social outings give residents a chance to stay connected to the wider community. Outdoor spaces include raised garden beds, and residents can relax in allowable outdoor areas. The community also schedules birthday parties and live music events to encourage interaction and maintain a predictable social calendar.
