Morning Pointe of Danville Assisted Living - Phase II is a new, one-level community close to Millennium Park, Centre College, Boyle County School Campus, downtown Danville, and Ephraim McDowell Trauma Hospital, and it plans to serve seniors in Boyle County and nearby areas. The place has 72 apartments, including 58 spacious assisted living apartments and 14 suites with kitchenettes and stackable washer/dryer combos, with several still available, and it comes with choices of one- or two-bedroom floor plans, all in a 67,500-square-foot single-story building. The apartments can include full-size refrigerators, and some suites are called deluxe because of the extra comfort features. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, transferring to a bed or chair, grooming, and incontinence care, and there's support with medication reminders, health checks, and escorting to meals or events, with care staff and licensed nurses on hand 24 hours a day to oversee well-being.
Meals use local, farm-fresh, and seasonal food through a Farm to Table program, and special diets such as no-salt-added or reduced-concentrated-sweets can be managed. Dining is just part of daily life, since there're life enrichment activities like arts and crafts, group outings, daily exercise, and wellness classes, plus partnerships with local schools that bring intergenerational events and projects. Common areas and screened patios give folks a place to socialize, and there's a beauty salon/barbershop, on-site pharmacy service, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy happen right at the building if a resident needs it, which can be helpful. There are dedicated memory care programs nearby and on the same campus, with special staff for Alzheimer's and dementia, two different levels of care called Lamplight for early stages and Lantern for advanced stages, and programs like the Best Friends™ Approach, Teepa Snow's Positive Approach™, Meaningful Day™ purposeful activities, music therapy, art therapy, and even cuddle therapy, which all try to make each day meaningful and easier for people as they experience different stages of memory loss.
Morning Pointe of Danville is designed so seniors can have more independence when possible, but get help when they need it, and the design includes features for comfort and safety, like 24-hour emergency response systems, services, and non-ambulatory care. The staff have a reputation for being friendly and helpful, and the environment has a culture of kindness and community, with opportunities for volunteering and being part of local projects. The campus will add more options in the future, like patio homes, and it has already received attention for quality in activities that support mental, physical, and social health. The goal is to give seniors a supportive, familiar setting with programs and staff tailored to individual needs, focusing on health, comfort, and keeping connections strong between residents, families, and the broader community.
