Courtyard Estates at Cedar Pointe sits in Pleasant Hill, Iowa, right behind the Mercy Medical Clinic, and folks find it to be a good spot for seniors needing some help or just wanting a comfortable place with less worry, and there's a 4.2 star rating from 10 reviews that gives an idea of how residents and families have felt about the place so far. The building stays safe with smoke detectors, a sprinkler system, and a strong emergency alert system, and they keep fire and safety worries low. Residents live in apartments with choices between one-bedroom, one-bedroom deluxe, and two-bedroom units, each with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual heat and air, cable readiness, phone hookups, and Wi-Fi, and everything has handy wheelchair access and secure entries, especially for those in the Memory Care wing. The Memory Care neighborhood is small with only six beds, so staff can really get to know each person, with the area being safe for residents with confusion or those who wander, and specific Alzheimer's therapies, activities, and structured routines keep the days busy.
The staff offer help 24 hours a day with bathing, dressing, and moving around; they provide medication management, incontinence help, and they've got nurses on staff and on call, doctors who visit, podiatrist, dentist, and therapists too, which means folks don't have to travel for most care needs. Meals come three times a day, restaurant-style or home-cooked, and the kitchen can handle diabetic, low-salt, or other special diets if a doctor requests it, and snacks come out between meals if folks want them. Housekeeping, laundry, and transportation take the load off, and maintenance handles repairs. There's help with medical appointments, shopping, and church trips, plus onsite beauty and barber services come right to the building.
The place welcomes pets and lets folks soak up outdoor spaces in gardens and on walking paths, and they keep both private and community areas smoke-free. Residents use common rooms like the book room, game room, and fitness center, with group events like music therapy, tabletop games, art, movie nights, community gatherings, and planned activities every day to help folks feel less alone and more connected. Religious programs happen on and off site, and there's a focus on routines that help memory, social skills, and movement.
Memory Care rates start at $4,500 and can reach $15,000 depending on care needs, with assisted living and respite services offered as well. The community allows people to age in place, giving them more care as their needs change while keeping them close to friends and staff they know. They accept folks 55 and older, and try to make everyone comfortable, especially those with health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, or who need extra physical help, and Jaybird Senior Living manages the building to keep things running smoothly with trained and caring staff.
