Washington Pointe is a senior living community with a wide range of living options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities, and residents can find maintenance-free homes for adults 55 and over if they want an active lifestyle or get more care if they need it, and people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia have a specialized, purpose-built memory care area with secured buildings, wandering alert systems, and devices like bracelets that help keep them safe and comfortable. Residents can use several outdoor and indoor common spaces, private dining rooms, and even private baths, and those who want a little fun or exercise can swim in the pool, soak in the hot tub, do water aerobics, take stretching and yoga classes, try art, go on trips, join gardening and community service programs, bowl on the Wii, or take part in wine tasting and trivia, and there are devotional services both onsite and offsite for anyone interested in spiritual activities. The facility's chef-prepared meals come with vegetarian options, and meals are served restaurant-style, and residents can get together with friends or family thanks to the private dining areas, and pet lovers can keep a dog or cat and even get help with pet care.
The care team includes RNs, LPNs, medication care managers, and technicians available around the clock, so residents can get help for daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, diabetic care (including blood sugar checks and insulin injections on a sliding scale), incontinence care, and support with aggressive or unusual behavior, as well as transfer assistance-be it one-person, two-person, or special mechanical lift-so people with mobility issues or high needs can stay in place as long as possible. Hospice and respite care are available, and those in memory care benefit from secured units and technology to track their safety, plus a caring staff that helps with wandering or difficult behavior. There's also transportation for appointments, shopping, or local outings, whether residents have their own car and use on-site parking or need the community's shuttle service.
Washington Pointe keeps things lively with educational and cultural programs, intergenerational activities, and community events organized through their Brilliance events program, and everyone's interests are supported with lots of choices so nobody feels left out. There's help for entrepreneurs through the International Trade Development Assistance Center and SCORE Council, and the campus sits close to restaurants, retail stores, and the Irving Arts Center, drawing from a large, skilled, and diverse local workforce with deep community ties. The facility is clean, well-kept, and updated, with modern technology in use for both health management and family updates, and management stays involved with day-to-day life to make sure things run smoothly. Many healthcare professionals visit regularly, including nurses, dentists, podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, offering residents convenient care without leaving the building, and accessible showers and other features make moving around easier for everyone in wheelchairs. The community's friendly atmosphere and range of services mean most people can age in place without having to move every time their care needs change, and residents enjoy a safe, secure place with a staff that understands what it means to grow older with dignity and comfort.
