The Pointe At Morris sits in Morris, IL, and welcomes adults aged 55 and over in 58 private apartments with a home-like feel, and you'll find a sense of community right through every hallway. The residence has both assisted living and supportive living options, calling itself an Affordable Assisted Lifestyle Community, with care for people who might want help paying for their stay, including through VA benefits assistance, financial aid, and Medicaid from a state-funded program. The staff offers help with showering, dressing, grooming, and medication management, and there's 24-hour care available, with both personal care assistants and a part-time nurse who visits regularly, as well as help from skilled nursing, in-home care, and hospice staff if a resident needs it.
Each apartment has a kitchenette, cable TV, WiFi, and a wired internet connection. Residents can choose to eat in the community dining room where three hot meals are served every day, or use their own kitchenette. There are weekly housekeeping and laundry services, and the staff handles linen changes. The Pointe At Morris lets some pets stay in the apartments, and offers on-site parking for both residents and guests. For those who want to stay active, there's a Fitness Center with equipment, a Billiard Room, Card Room, Library, and plenty of outdoor patios and gardens, including a Back Patio and a Covered Porch. The Activity Center hosts many events, from arts and crafts to games and music, and scheduled programs for social, physical, and mental health. Staff bring in live entertainment, arrange outings, and residents can join a musical group, join game nights, or try out horticultural activities.
The Pointe At Morris also has a Country Store, Cafe, Coffee Shop, and a Beauty/Barber Salon that offers haircuts and barber services right on site, which is handy for folks who'd rather not travel. Residents have transportation for shopping and other needs, and the staff can help set up occupational therapy and physical therapist visits. There are on-site religious services.
