Independent Living: Active and Engaging

Freedom from chores like housekeeping, lawn care, and cooking.
Opportunities to engage in hobbies, fitness programs, social events, and local outings.
A strong sense of community through social connections with like-minded individuals.

This level of care fosters independence while providing access to additional support if needed.

Assisted Living: Personalized Support for Daily Activities

Assisted Living is an excellent option for those who need some help with daily tasks but still want to maintain a degree of independence. At Springpoint, assisted living includes:

Personalized care plans that focus on helping residents with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication management.
A supportive environment where care is provided as needed, but independence is always encouraged.
Engaging social activities, dining experiences, and wellness programs that improve quality of life.

Assisted living offers peace of mind, knowing that help is always available when it’s needed.

Skilled Nursing: Comprehensive 24/7 Medical Care

When more complex medical care is required, Skilled Nursing provides around-the-clock support from a team of professionals. This level of care is suitable for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care needs. Key features include:

24/7 access to skilled nurses and medical staff who provide personalized care plans.
Comprehensive care for chronic conditions, post-surgical recovery, or illness.
Onsite amenities and social activities to help residents stay engaged while receiving care.
