Morning Pointe of Richmond sits on a quiet 40-acre campus in Richmond, Kentucky, not far from Eastern Kentucky University, Lake Reba, the Baptist Richmond Hospital, and the local golf courses, so there's always something nearby. The community's all on one level, so there aren't any stairs to get in the way, which makes things simpler for everyone, and they've built it to resemble a comfortable home, with clean and orderly spaces that almost feel like a hotel. There are 42 apartments in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with various sizes from 262 to 633 square feet, so some residents like having more room and others like to keep things easy. The grounds include walking trails, a lake, pet-friendly spaces, and places to sit and just watch the day go by.
The staff helps with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, and there are licensed nurses on site to watch over health and medication management. People can get periodic check-ins, help with incontinence, and there's always someone available day or night if something comes up. Help is available for getting in or out of bed and for walking to meals or activities, which means safer movement for those who need it. Residents also get healthy meals with fresh fruits and vegetables, and the kitchen staff pays attention to dietary needs like no-salt-added or reduced sweets.
Morning Pointe offers assisted living, memory care for folks dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, independent living options for those still able to get around on their own, nursing home care, and a home care service for those who need non-medical help. They have a certified Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which lets people shift their level of care without leaving the familiar place. There's also a 42-bed nursing rehabilitation center if someone needs a bit more help bouncing back after a stay at the hospital.
The staff personalizes care plans and works with outside doctors to manage changing health needs, and the caregivers are known for their listening as well as their helping hands. Residents get the option to join in a lifestyle full of activities, with daily exercise classes, creative and sensory programs, group outings, volunteering, and even intergenerational projects with local schools. There are life-long learning programs, cognitive exercises, and frequent community events, including live entertainment both inside and out, so there's always something different to do, and everyone can find their own rhythm.
Transportation's available for appointments or local trips, and pharmacy services help with getting needed medications. The pet-friendly policy means animals are welcome, which always adds a little more life to the place. The community puts a lot of effort into making residents comfortable, engaged, and safe, whether someone's looking for some independence, a little help, or much more care as time goes on.
