I visited this facility

I went to The Pointe at Kilpatrick. The ambience was beautiful. The facility was clean and it did not smell bad. It did not look like a supportive living facility. It looked opulent and beautiful. The person who did the interview was very caring and very patient. The unit I was shown had two rooms and then the outside of the room was more of a common area where it had a little kitchenette and they provided a refrigerator and a microwave. I think everything else inside the actual bedroom had to be provided. One of my reasons for not choosing them is that they didn't have any availability.

My mom is at The Pointe at Kilpatrick. The facility was nice, well-kept, and clean. The staff has been super helpful. They had quite a few activities for the residents to take part in. The wonderful lady who gave me the tour was fabulous. She was super helpful in helping me gather all of the paperwork that I needed and answered all of my questions. I've been there while my mom's eaten, and the food looks fabulous. Her room is beautiful. They painted the room right before my mom got there. The laminate floors are very nice looking. The bathroom was clean. It had beautiful cabinets and a shared kitchenette. They have a schedule of activities, like bingo, exercise class, and book clubs. My mom is on the memory care floor, so her community area is a locked community for safety precautions and wandering. They offer quite a few things. It's pretty comparable to the other assisted living, and I like it because it's all-inclusive, so I know exactly how much I'm going to owe each month.

The Pointe at Kilpatrick is a phenomenal facility. It's a beautiful facility and I'd like to get my dad in there. It was clean, and it was quiet. They had a good secure facility. They had plenty of activities to keep people busy. They have an outdoor courtyard. The rooms were relatively fair-sized, but they weren't small. They seem to have great caregivers there. They would have the residents go outside and do outside activities like play ball, checkers, or chess. Indoors, they would keep them busy playing bingo or other different activities like sewing or knitting, whatever to get people to do for the most part.

The Pointe At Kilpatrick was a very nice, clean, and affordable community. It's someplace I would not worry about putting my mom. Their trips out were very local, which is good. It was close to home. It's a friendly place, and you feel like you are stepping into a family. They do have a library right there in the facility. They have a community room and a living room with a beautiful fireplace. They have a pantry, like a little store that the residents run themselves. It's the kind of place where you could wander all day and not worry about where you're at because you are home. Everybody was very friendly. They probably even know your name before you even get to introduce yourself. The staff members were very nice.

I choose The Pointe at Kilpatrick for my in-laws because of it's proximity to me. I saw interaction with the staff and with the residents that were present. The rooms were decent size and clean. Within the memory care area, they had a garden that they could exit out to with family; I thought that was important. It was an enclosed garden, and it was beautiful. It was on the main floor; it wasn't up on an upper level. It was open, and there were plenty of windows in each individual's room. Each room was like a little small apartment. It had its own little kitchenette and a bathroom. It had handicapped shower and sink in the room, rather than toilet and sink outside the room. The facility for bathing and toileting was big, and you can get a wheelchair in there. It was clean. I was actually in a room that a resident occupied so I could see how their furniture fit in, and it was very nice. The staff was very nice. The area wasn't too confined. It was spread decently. The memory wing had its own section. There was definitely a good security door, but there were windows in the door; it wasn't like you were entering a whole other space. It looked like an extension of it, but you needed a code to get in. They had a nice common area that was clean and spacious. They had a little garden that the residents could go out in with family members. What I saw with the interaction of the staff with the patients was very nice. They didn't know I was coming, so it wasn't like they put on the show just because I came.

The Pointe at Kilpatrick was wonderful. They were friendly, helpful, and showed me every department. My mom's been there before and they were wonderful to her. The apartment is a bit smaller, but it's still enough. It's adequate for my sister's needs anyway. The layout was good. They offer activities and I believe they have an activity director to assist them. I know they have bus services and they take them out on outings. They play games, they have a library, a washer and dryer to do the laundry, and things like that. It was also clean, just like how I remembered it.

The Pointe at Kilpatrick is smaller and they shared rooms, but it’s also cheaper. They take Medicaid which is an option that's really important to have. They played cards there. The facility was clean and their assisted living is their bigger population so it was definitely a more vibrant community. The memory care section was locked and was quieter.

Everything at The Pointe at Kilpatrick was wonderful. There was nothing that I didn't like. Angie was fabulous. The room was much smaller and much more confined compared to the other places we saw. We had two meals there and they were both excellent.

The Pointe was nice. I liked the place, but I’m just not sure they’re going to take my mother. They were pretty open, and the place was really nice. The rooms were clean and neat, and I did not have any issues with them. The patients seemed pretty decent. They had a therapy room, a gym, and two cafeterias.

I was not happy with The Pointe At Kilpatrick. I had trouble communicating with the facility initially. I left a message and my message was not returned. Then when I finally did meet, I felt that the gentleman was rather dismissive and not helpful. He himself did not seem to engage well with his residents or staff. The staff seemed overwhelmed by the amount of residents they were responsible for. However, it was a nice building. It was clean. It has only been there for 10 years, so it is rather new. I did see residents engaged in chair activities. The recreation coordinator was very enthused and the activities seemed very appropriate for her audience. They did have a nice outdoor garden area. It was a lovely garden setting. I did see living arrangements. They have companion suites, so two residents living in one suite, which I know is very appropriate and I think it would be very workable. However, since I was shopping for a gentleman, he would be limited because it was all women at that time and until another man was admitted, he could not be included in the population. So that's a little distressing because, even if you're on the waiting list, you have to wait until another man comes in and you have to wait until another suite is available for both of you. So I think it is an inconvenience for a family that might be desperate.

The facility was clean and the staff we met were incredibly friendly and warm with my grandmother. She was not very mobile, and on one occasion we stopped there to pick her up to take to our house for Thanksgiving and the staff went above and beyond when it came to helping her out of bed and into a wheelchair, then into the car and back to her bed when we came back. I would definitely recommend this facility if the need arises in the future.

My Mom was at the Pointe for over 6 years in the New Day section. There is absolutely nothing negative about this facility. Between management, caregivers, CNA's, the nursing staff, all are caring, diligent and helpful individuals. If it wasn't for their supportive natures, I don't think my Mom or I would have dealt well with the dementia. Mom flourished longer than most because of The Pointe and the diligence of its staff. How I wish Mom could have stayed but her dementia got to a point whereby she now needs Nursing Home care. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't miss seeing everyone at the Pointe.

My grandfather was at Point at Kilpatrick for about six months. I visited him on most wednesdays and fridays, because I was working at Orland Park Mall. I liked the way the nurses treated him, and he always seemed to be clean when I went to visit him. I am the type to be a bit fiesty when I see wrong, but these people were really nice. They had activities for the clients who were still able to do such things. My grandfather used to play cards quite a bit with a few of the other men there. The place was a lot cleaner than the home he was at before. There were no bugs walking around, and the patients all seemed to be fairly comfortable. You can notice when patients look fearful, but these people seemed to be okay. I beleve this was the right choice for my grandfather at the time, because he needed assistance with some of his daily functions. He never complained of being hit, or anything which means they helped him with no problem. I believe this is how it should be.

About The Pointe at Kilpatrick in Crestwood, Illinois

The Pointe at Kilpatrick is a provider of apartment living for those 65 and older in Crestwood, Illinois.

The Pointe at Kilpatrick offers the highest standard of supportive living to our residents. Our community provides assistance in the activities of daily living allowing residents to maintain their independence and enjoy the companionship of other residents of their generation.

A Dependable Assisted Living Community In Crestwood, IL

As life expectancy continues to rise, more and more seniors will need assistance. According to a recent study from the Department of Health and Human Services, a stunning 70 percent of Americans aged 65 and over will require long-term care services at some point.

With the cost of nursing home care on the rise, millions of elderly adults worry they may be left in the cold. At The Pointe at Kilpatrick, we believe that every senior should get the help they need, regardless of their net worth. To address this growing problem, our assisted living community provides supportive living, as well as other services.

Supportive Living

A relatively new option, supportive living was created to fill a desperate need for affordable long-term care services. Designed for elderly individuals with reduced income, it creates huge cost savings by combining apartment-style housing with personal and group care services. Unlike nursing homes, residents can live as independently as they like and take part in the decisions that affect them. Even though it is less expensive, many patients prefer supportive living to the alternative, because it affords them greater control over their own lives.

Accommodations & Services

Whether they want a one-bedroom apartment or a shared suite, our assisted living community lets incoming residents choose where they’d like to hang their hat. Here are just a few of the amenities these accommodations offer:

  • Resident-controlled thermostats
  • Cable television
  • Microwave and refrigerator
  • Laundry services
  • Housekeeping
  • Emergency response system
  • Maintenance staff services

Memory Care

Because it requires a higher staff-to-resident ratio, not every assisted living community has its own memory care department. We are proud to offer dementia-specific care services in a safe, secure environment. Because it serves a small number of residents, our memory care unit is able to provide personalized care. In addition to housekeeping and laundry services, our staff also designs nutritional management programs for each resident.

Why Us?

As an assisted living community that offers subsidized senior housing, The Pointe at Kilpatrick appeals to a wide audience. We are happy to welcome seniors from Midlothian, Alsip, Palos Heights, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Worth, Chicago Ridge, and Blue Island to our community. Whether you are someone who worries about the high cost of long-term care or someone looking for an independent living arrangement, we can create a plan that provides the services you need at a price you can afford. We also offer specialized care, such as memory care, and other services that are not offered at many assisted living facilities.

Our philosophy of care may be different from that of many of our peers. In an effort to preserve the independence and privacy of our residents, we provide assistance only when needed. This lets residents live their lives as they see fit in a warm, welcoming community that includes residents of their age group and experienced caregivers.
