About

Beacon Pointe, A Memory Care Community is dedicated to providing quality, caring service to the senior population. Our emphasis will always be on providing resident-centered service in the form of assistance with activities of daily living, housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and social events. Each employee of the community will serve in such a way as to promote the independence and abilities of each person.

An emphasis is placed on wellness and maximizing strengths of each person. Programs are planned relating to healthy aging, exercise and other areas that will promote the health and well-being of our residents. Since the community is focused on wellness, smoking will not be permitted in the residence or on its grounds for residents, visitors, or staff.

Because Beacon Pointe is a secured building, consideration will be given to residents who are a fit with other residents either cognitively or because of physical limitations require additional assistance. Residents needing 24 hour supervision by a licensed nurse should seek the facilities of a skilled nursing home. However, 24 hour nursing consultation will always be provided at Woodland Terrace.

As you age your body produces lower levels of growth hormone, so you’ll likely experience a decrease in slow wave or deep sleep (an especially refreshing part of the sleep cycle). When this happens you produce less melatonin, meaning you’ll often experience more fragmented sleep and wake up more often during the night. That’s why many of us consider ourselves “light sleepers” as we age.
