Memory Care at The Pointe
Specialized programming and support from an experienced team who understands all stages of memory loss help residents experience more meaningful moments and more fulfilling days.
The Pointe is not a typical memory care community. Several years of best-practice research and consultations with families whose lives have been touched by Alzheimer’s and dementia went into our community and our exclusive Memory Care Program, Mosaic.
The Pointe at Cascades of Grants Pass features a spacious, open and sunny atmosphere. Living areas are in the heart of each of the four neighborhoods. They all have a welcoming centralized living area where residents can interact with loved ones and other residents. The homelike design fosters resident interaction in a safe community setting. Apartments are spacious and feature private and shared options.
Our wellness and life-enrichment teams work together to ensure residents stay connected and engaged while enjoying a variety of programs specially designed to enhance life for those living with memory loss. We also support residents and their families through every stage of dementia, and we strive to help ease the frustration and emotional distress that often comes with a dementia diagnosis.
What truly sets memory care at The Pointe apart is that it’s a community where residents, family and care partners feel valued, purposeful and loved. Residents and their families are part of our family. They are embraced and involved in all decisions and in all aspects of care. We take the time to get to know residents personally — their routines, interests, preferences, passions and joys.
Respite Care
Respite care — or a short-term stay — is designed for those caring for aging loved ones who may be going on vacation or who may simply need a temporary respite from caregiving.
The benefits of respite stays are many. For caregivers, respite stays can prevent exhaustion and caregiver burnout. Respite stays benefit loved ones by providing them with variety, stimulation, and a welcome change of routine. Respite stays are also an option for anyone who could benefit from more recovery time after surgery or other medical procedures.
Cascades of Grants Pass … our difference.
A feeling of home. A social calendar packed with activities and entertainment. Programs that delight. Amenities that make life easy and fun. Personalized care that sometimes means knowing a favorite ice cream flavor and other times means lending a hand with life’s daily tasks.
With a focus on preserving — and enhancing — independence no matter what care level is required, at Cascades of Grants Pass, there is every opportunity to live large.
But sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference. A warm greeting delivered with a smile. Listening with interest and enthusiasm. Anticipating needs and responding appropriately. Celebrating individuality. Respecting differences. Sharing joy.
It’s all here. But don’t take our word for it…
Our residents weigh in.
“I’m so glad we chose a Cascade Living Group community.”
