Vista Pointe Assisted Living sits on 16 acres of wooded land and has a cheerful setting where the staff know every resident by name, and the place has a home-like feel that folks notice right away when they move in. The community offers several types of care, including assisted living, memory care, companion care, and nursing home services, and will let you age in place as your needs change, with medical alert systems, home security, home care, and all sorts of safety measures in place to make sure residents are looked after as they get older. People live in senior apartments, condos, or townhomes, with floor plans like studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, some with balconies, and the choice of semi-private or single rooms, and the whole place is made to be easy for seniors to get around, especially if they use a wheelchair or need a little more help with things like showering or transferring. There's a section just for memory care-the memory care building's set up with its own space and special technology, like security bracelets for wandering, to help keep those with dementia or Alzheimer's safe and cut down on confusion, and the activities there fit what memory care folks need for engagement and comfort.
Each resident can get as much help as needed with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, making sure their meds get taken, even diabetic care with insulin shots, and incontinence care and reminders for the restroom, and they can get mechanical lift transfers if walking's a problem. Nurses are always on-site or on-call, there's a 24-hour awake staff, and visiting therapists-speech, physical, and occupational-drop by, and skilled nursing's offered on top of it all. Meals are home-cooked, three times a day, with snacks, and they'll handle special diets too, including all-day, restaurant-style eating or meals in your room if you'd rather, and the menu aims for good taste and nutrition with allergy and health needs in mind. Staff provide housekeeping, laundry, and linen cleaning, and will help with dry cleaning, and the dining rooms and indoor common areas give everyone more places to eat together or relax with company.
The building's big enough-with four wings and three floors-that residents can pick what fits them best, whether it's a quiet garden-side view or closer to the recreational spaces, and the design allows for residents to join any of the activities like movie nights, arts classes, group walks on paths, spiritual services, or monthly family parties, and those needing rehabilitation after illness or injury will find therapy services right on site. Folks can bring a pet and smoke outdoors if they want, and Wi-Fi, senior-friendly internet, cable, and cell phone services make it easy for everyone to stay connected. Staff coordinate transportation and help with the move in, and can provide medical transport or other rides when needed for a fee, and the community even helps with hospice care and respite care, aimed at easing worries for families and providing support during tough times.
Vista Pointe specializes in person-centered care and works with physicians and family to keep plans up-to-date, treating each resident with respect and focusing on what makes them comfortable and independent, for as long as possible, whether they need only light help or full care for conditions like diabetes, mobility loss, or memory problems. Security is tight, with 24-hour monitors, technology for safety, and secured environments to keep everyone safe. The property, although modern since it opened in August 2012, still feels small and homelike, not too big to feel lost, and doctors in Menomonee Falls recommend the care for its thoroughness, attention, and the way staff adjust plans for each new need that comes up, always aiming for dignity and comfort.
