Determine the level of care needed

We understand that it can be a challenging and emotional time to decide to move a loved one into a retirement community.

We suggest consulting your loved one’s primary care doctor to see if a Memory Care and Transitional Assisted living community is the best option for them and their needs. The difference between traditional nursing homes and Heritage Point is that we are specially equipped with the staff, programs, and care needed for those starting to experience memory challenges, all provided in a resort-style environment.

Decide on a price point

Bringing your loved one to a community like Heritage Point is not only an emotional investment but a financial one.

Ask the right questions when touring/inquiring

When you’re in the process of touring communities, there can be a lot of information all at once. So prepare yourself ahead of time with a list of questions that are important to you and your loved one. Here are some examples below:

• Is there a hospital nearby?
• What are the safety protocols?
• What activities are in the area?
