North Pointe Health Rehabilitation Services sits at 211 Windmill Drive in Meridian, Mississippi, and has sixty private rooms, which is nice for anyone who likes quiet and space, and you'll find the place easy to move around in since everything's built to help folks with wheelchairs or walkers or anyone who needs extra support, and it's got a state-certified Alzheimer's unit with fifteen beds for people who need memory care. The building's on the newer side, about seven years old, and there are two courtyards-one for the dementia and Alzheimer's unit and a large gated yard with a gazebo-where residents can spend time outdoors, while inside there's a theater room with a big 70-inch TV and free Netflix, a game room, and several big sitting areas if you want to visit with others or just relax.
You'll see a fitness center, a therapy gym, and a salon and barbershop right in the facility, so residents don't have to travel for those services, and meals come from a dining room with a Baby Grand piano and a registered dietitian who plans out soups, main dishes, salads, and desserts, making sure meals suit specific health needs. There's a full staff of personal care assistants, nurse practitioners, and in-house providers for nursing, physician visits, therapies, social activities, and more-including podiatry, dental visits, monthly pharmacy reviews, and even hospice and palliative care when needed, plus management for things like diabetes and dialysis. The team creates personalized care plans, especially for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and makes sure to go over everything during move-in so residents and families understand the levels of care, contracts, and any waitlist rules.
The place is Medicare and Medicaid certified, takes Humana and United Health Care Insurance, and aims to help those who need both short-term rehab-like after a stroke or hospital stay-and those needing long-term care, since there are in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapies, restorative care, stroke recovery programs, fall safety, balance and gait training, and community transition training for getting back to home or another setting. The memory care program has activities planned by certified staff, and everyone can join in arts and crafts, educational groups, health and wellness programs, or social outings, and wifi's free, so families can call or visit virtually-especially important when people can't come in person.
You'll find extra touches like in-house laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, maintenance help, kitchenettes in the rooms, cable TV, washers and dryers for personal use, and guest parking. Safety's a big focus with sprinklers and backup emergency generators. North Pointe Health Rehabilitation tries for a homelike setting, welcoming everyone and making sure residents are treated respectfully and thoughtfully, focusing mainly on rehab but with some long-term support too, and they were built to serve the older folks in this area since there's a good-sized senior population around Meridian and Marion.
