The Pointe at Jacksonville sits at 20 Jacksonville Place, sometimes listed as 310 East State Street, in Jacksonville, Illinois, between St. Louis and Peoria, and the place has a peaceful setting surrounded by manicured lawns and open fields, which seems to give residents and visitors nice views and a bit of quiet, and when folks come here, they notice that the community offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, with full private bathrooms and kitchenettes that have a sink, refrigerator, and microwave, plus each apartment comes with its own heating, air conditioning, and plenty of closet space, so residents can manage their comfort and keep things tidy. The building is fully handicap accessible, and folks will find private mailboxes, emergency call devices, pre-wired telephone, cable TV, internet access, and patios or garden areas for sitting outside, and the architecture supports both safety and ease of movement.
The Pointe at Jacksonville runs a Certified Supportive Living Community, which can help work with Medicaid if a resident's funds run low, providing supportive living for people 65 and older and offering memory care services for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's who need a secure setting; the staff there helps with personal care, medication management, daily socialization, and routine housekeeping, and they're available any time, day or night, for emergencies or just regular questions. Residents get all their meals prepared by a chef, served in the main dining room, with options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and snacks and drinks available through the day, and there's a dining service to take care of residents' taste preferences and mealtime needs, with alternatives for those who need something special.
There's a wide range of activities, both social and spiritual, from life enrichment programs to classes that help keep the mind sharp or physical activities to keep folks active, and staff also offer devotional services onsite and arrange outings for those who want to get off campus. The community hosts events and gatherings, and people can enjoy spa and beauty salon services, indoor and outdoor common areas, and plenty of spaces for residents to gather, talk, and make friends. The Pointe encourages independence but stays ready to help according to what each person needs, from supportive living and independent living to assisted living and memory care, all depending on each person's health, interests, and preferences.
Transportation and parking options make it easier for folks to get around or for family to visit, and the campus supports a simple, safe, and home-like atmosphere. Trained staff can create wellness plans for folks with memory loss, offering individualized care while making sure everyone stays as safe as possible. There's an emphasis on dignity, compassion, and respect, and the community's mission centers on creating a caring place where residents find the right blend of comfort, help, and the freedom to make choices in their daily lives. The Pointe accepts long term care insurance and helps qualified residents find financial assistance if they'd benefit from the Supportive Living program. The overall approach encourages independence, enjoyment, health, and connection with others, and the staff focus on giving personal attention to changing needs so everyone can keep up a good quality of life for as long as possible.
