River Pointe of Moorhead

River Pointe of Moorhead stands in Moorhead, Minnesota, offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care for seniors who need different levels of help, from those who just want meals and friends to folks coping with memory loss like Alzheimer's or dementia, and what's nice is how the place has private, shared, and studio-style rooms, with all the spaces set up for comfort and safety, including furnished options that feel a bit like home and rooms that you can make your own if you want. You'll see a lot of spaces for activities-a big arts room, a movie area, a room for cards and bingo, plus walking paths and a garden courtyard filled with places to sit, not to mention inside and outside areas if you need a change of scenery or fresh air. There's a swimming pool and hot tub, and folks gather for meals in a dining room where the staff prepares home-cooked food, offering choices for special diets, and even snacks, and you can always count on the kitchen to keep up with daily menus. River Pointe has beauty and barber services on site, and offers laundry, housekeeping, and move-in help. A registered nurse and trained staff work around the clock, with help from the Director of Health Services and Welcome Home University, so you'll find people who can help with medication reminders, bathing, dressing, and getting around, as well as a 24-hour call system if something happens, and a doctor is available for visits, along with hospice and home care. Special programs and wellness clinics keep you in the loop about your health, and counseling is also offered. Memory care areas help keep people safe with secured features, a layout made to ease confusion, and a staff experienced in dementia care, so families find peace of mind when a loved one wanders or needs gentle reminders. There's scheduled activities nearly every day-outings, devotional services, games, entertainment brought in from the local area, and transportation is free if folks need a ride into town for events, shopping, or appointments. The community invites both men and women, but has options for separate accommodations, and welcomes pets, as long as they fit the guidelines. Residents age in place, meaning you won't have to move if your needs change, and respite care is available for short stays. The property is wheelchair accessible throughout, including showers, and offers parking for those who drive. You won't find smoking in any public or private space. People seem to build friendships here, helped along by programs designed to bring folks together and create a close-knit setting based on Christian values, with activities for body and mind, all set in a peaceful environment near Moorhead's own shops and services.
