I’m so thrilled that I found The Point to care for my mother who has severe dementia. The caregivers are so sweet and welcoming. I can see that my mother feels safe and nurtured, despite the fact that she has reverted to speaking her mother tongue and can’t articulate her needs. Her caregivers understand what engages her from how to talk to her and which activities to put before her. And her proximity to my home and commute route gives me the chance to drop in easily. 😊

My brother and sister-in-law are at The Point, and the experience has been very positive. The staff does a phenomenal job of taking care of my sister-in-law's significant needs. The head nurse, Rob, is very helpful. They are very family oriented, and my calls and questions receive prompt responses. The dining experience is wonderful as they make great efforts to foster community.

My Dad has been living here for almost a year and while it's no one's dream to live in assisted living, having experienced other places I have to say that the majority of the care staff here truly do the best they possibly can. There are many wonderful staff members including Irma at the front desk who is always there for any support I need, Shelley the med tech, who has helped me in several medical emergencies, Litara the business manager and Rob the care director, both of whom were there to support and advocate for me when I needed help with insurance issues. Caring for your loved one is not an easy task but I am grateful for the staff who truly care at the Point for helping me and my father through this process.

Dealing with placing a loved elder can be one of the most trying times in a person's life. I have looked at numerous facilities for my 91 year old father, who has dementia and a history of falls. I cannot tell you how helpful, Antoinette and the staff at The Point at Rockridge were to me. Antoinette saw me the same day when I was in a complete panic, explained every detail of living at The Point, costs and the living experience. She was empathetic and compassionate. Truly, went above and beyond her duty. The staff was lovely and there is a great staff/resident ratio. Currently, I am keeping my dad at home with 24 hour care, as it seems the end is near, but if the time comes to move my dad, The Point is where he will be placed. I know he will be well taken care of there, the one bedroom suite I looked at was remodeled, light and airy. The dementia ward has a patio, so the residents can be taken outside on a daily basis, which is a huge bonus.

I highly recommend this assisted living facility. My 97 year old grandmother has lived there for three years. The caregivers, dining staff, maintenance crew, cleaning staff, front door greeter, med techs, and management, have all been great. Like truly the heart of this facility are the people who work there. Everyone is so friendly and truly caring about my grandmother like she is their own. The waitresses know her likes and what she usually orders, they have a set menu daily or you can order from the anytime menu. Served on white dining cloth tables with flowers. They have monthly live music bands and entertainment that frequent the facility. There is always something going on. The grounds have a lovely backyard patio with plenty of tables and comfortable chairs to enjoy the outdoors and the pretty landscaping. The is also happy hour daily on the 6th floor at their Sky bar with beautiful view and Friday karaoke. I feel like my grandmother is in great hands and I visit weekly so I know first hand how it is. Highly recommend.
