The one that we ended up choosing was The Pointe at Kirby Gate. The people who worked there were very nice. One of the things that my dad liked was that they had fewer patients than the other ones did, and the room was immediately available. We were turned down by a number of them because of my mom's physical limitations. My dad was happy that they were willing to give it a try, and they were willing to give it a try because they had plenty of staff to be able to handle her.
The staff was very understanding of the situation that I'm in. I'm not in charge of this. My dad is the one who chooses, and I'm the one that just goes in and agrees with him. It was nice that they understood my predicament because I don't get to pick whether my mom goes in or not, so I thought they were very sweet, caring, and kind. They have a courtyard. I like it because the building is rectangular, and the courtyard is in the center, so there's no way for the patients to sneak out of that outdoor space. I like that. The amenities don't matter to me because it's something my mom is not capable of participating in anymore. But I know there was a lady in there that was painting fingernails for the ladies, and they had a few activities, but my mom is no longer able to do that anymore. It wasn't part of what I was looking for, it was more of having somebody there to watch her all the time and take care of her.

I went to The Pointe at Kirby Gate and toured the memory care. The young lady that showed me around and whom I had a conversation with, was very nice. She gave me plenty of information to go on and suggested a few things as well. The visit was excellent. She knew the area and she answered promptly to my questions.
The grounds were nice. The area where my dad would be staying in (if we move him), was also very nice. She took me out to the courtyard where they do little plant things (like vegetables or some flowers) if the residents want to. Then they had a little picnic area that looked nice, quiet, and pleasant. The dining area and the area where they wash all the dishes were all very nice and very clean, too. We saw different rooms and you can decorate some of them the way you want to. They have semi-room and private rooms. They were doing some construction though, but other than that it was clean.

I liked The Pointe at Kirby Gate a lot. It looked well kept up, and the apartments were nice. The person who gave me the tour was nice.

I toured the memory care facility and was very impressed. It was clean, homey and the staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. I met the activities director at the memory care portion and she was very upbeat and the residents seemed to react well with her. I liked most of all the size of the facility and the small population of of residents in the memory care portion. I have toured other memory care facilities and was overwhelmed by their size and number of residents in them. I would not hesitate to place my loved one at The Pointe at Kirby Gate.

My 99-year-old Aunt Sarah recently had to come to The Pointe at Kirby Gate to the memory care unit. I say "had to" because she wasn't anxious to leave her own home. I have several comments:
1) The staff was extremely helpful to us in planning and executing her move. They gave us excellent advice as to what to bring and what not to bring, how to arrange her room to make her most comfortable with her new surroundings, and how to time the move to be the least upsetting for her. They also were very helpful in working out the logistics of moving her things in.
2) The ability (indeed the requirement) that we furnish her room, and the recommendation that it be with things she is familiar with and loves, has helped her make the adjustment quite well.
3) The staff are extremely pleasant and professional, and treat the residents with great respect.
4) During the move-in, we were given the door codes so we could come and go at our pleasure. Beyond the convenience, it gave us reassurance (based on evidence) that things weren't being "hidden" from family when nobody was around. Put another way: no "scheduled" visiting hours.
5) The food is very good -- at least, Aunt Sarah has been eating well and has commented favorably about it. The place is also very clean and always smells clean and fresh.
6) My final point is that, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask the staff. They are always very helpful.
