Pine Brook Pointe sits at 1001 S Pine St in Burlington and it's a community focused on assisted living and memory care, offering both in a two-story building that's pretty easy to get around and has a warm, cabin-chic design with private rooms and some nice garden views, and there's a path lined with seasonal flowers that leads right up to the front door, which makes arriving each day feel welcoming, and the whole place has a family-friendly feel with landscaped grounds that are kept up nicely. Residents can pick from a variety of floor plans, most with kitchenettes, and the apartments have space to move around or just look out at the gardens, because keeping people comfortable and feeling at home stays a priority here. Safety gets a lot of attention, with regular safety checks and daily up-and-about checks, and the staff at Pine Brook Pointe are all trained, licensed, certified, and insured-LPN Wellness Coordinator Amy Szczerbiak keeps an eye on health care, Director of Dining Services Billie Kretschmer heads up the kitchen, and Executive Director Barb Sandy leads the team to make sure quality stays up. The community offers transportation services if you need to get to an appointment or the store, and scheduled local rides are available if you put in a request, so you won't have to worry about missing out on errands or group outings. They help with all the daily things like grooming, bathing, dressing, medication reminders and administration, health checks, and incontinence care, plus therapy services like occupational, physical, and speech therapy, and there's chronic condition management, hospice, respite care, and palliative support if your needs change, plus the staff are there 24/7, including LPNs and Clinical Leads for specialized help.
Every day, the dining team serves three home-cooked meals and offers choices for each meal, with communal dining to encourage socializing, and snacks are available too, so no one has to go hungry or eat alone unless they want to. Social engagement stays a big focus, and the staff plan a calendar full of activities-there's movie sessions in the theater room, bingo, music sing-alongs, craft classes, offsite outings, and more, and there's also a Resident Council that meets every month to suggest improvements and share ideas, helping residents have a voice in the community. In memory care, therapy programs and group activities get tailored to each person's needs, so even those living with Alzheimer's or dementia have ways to stay involved and connected, with safety locks on the secure memory unit to help give families peace of mind.
Housekeeping, laundry, and linen service come standard so residents never need to worry about chores piling up, and maintenance support handles anything that needs fixing or tidying. Onsite and offsite devotional services help meet spiritual needs, and a beautician offers salon services for hair and nails right in the community, which helps everyone look and feel their best. The building itself has both indoor and outdoor gatherings spaces, including a movie theater, outdoor gardens, and accessible showers for wheelchair users. Pine Brook Pointe stays focused on supporting independence as much as possible, meeting individual needs, and maintaining a safe, friendly setting where people feel respected and cared for, following state and industry guidelines as a licensed, CBRF certified facility. Residents have access to outside providers like physicians, podiatrists, and therapists for extra help, and there's always an emphasis on dignity and well-being while providing the support each person needs, whether it's for daily tasks or more specialized memory care.
