Cleo 2021-10-21 The one that I like was The Pointe at Kirby Gate. It's one of the ones that are on top of my list. It's pretty much everything that I'm looking for. It is a very homey environment. You can just feel the love when you walk into the facility and it's not very large. I didn't want my mother in a very large facility. All of those things, the rooms, and stuff, were perfect. We had a very nice tour guide, very informative. They're very friendly, informative, and welcoming staff. Everything was clean and in order. When you walk in, everything smelled good. Everything is in perfect shape. I didn't see anything out of order. The rooms are perfect. The staff mentioned some activities that they do. They can go out in the lobby and watch TV. They have an area where they can go outside and sit in the lounge. Overall, it's a very positive atmosphere. I visited this facility

Pam 2021-08-09 The Pointe at Kirby Gate is a nice place. The people are nice. They take care of my mom, and they keep an eye on her. She gets three meals a day. They make sure her room stays clean. They keep up with her. It is working out fine. She has been there for three months now. She is in an apartment. They have a courtyard, they have different activities during the day, and they have some special on Fridays that they do, so it is nice. They keep them busy.

Erica 2021-04-06 My mom moved into The Pointe at Kirby Gate. The facility is nice and clean. I did a virtual tour initially and then we did an in-person tour. It is a smaller location with less people. The staff seems to be very patient and kind and they seem to enjoy their jobs, too. It is affordable. I did a window visit as they are not allowing people in. They have activities, but they are all inside right now and limited because of Covid. They are one of the affordable ones. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Jean 2021-02-15 I toured The Pointe at Kirby Gate and had lunch with one of the managers in her office. I'm pretty well impressed with the place, but when my brother had to go to the men's room, I noticed that his attitude had changed when he came back. When we got in the car, I said, "Why did your attitude change?" He said, "They're only showing you the good part, because back there when I went to the bathroom, it smells like pee and it's not clean." I'm like, "OK, that takes care of that." It's the one that he really liked and I liked, I'm just not going to do it for him. I did not feel a level of honesty there. I felt a lot of fails and if I'm going to leave my brother some place, I want to feel that the staff is honest with me. They need to keep the facility cleaner. I visited this facility

Walter 2019-03-19 My dad moved into The Pointe at Kirby Gate and we're happy with the facility. The place is very clean, well-kept and had excellent attendants. They have excellent food and my dad is very happy with the food choices. They have exercise, memory games, and Bingo. His room is a good size and has a good layout. It works for him. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

AJ 2018-09-29 The Pointe at Kirby Gate is a very welcoming environment. It felt like home. It's small and I love the intimacy and how well the staff knows their residents. I felt like they interacted a lot more frequently with their staff at The Pointe than the other places I visited. I also really love that it is just one story. It's very easy for my grandmother to navigate and not get lost. We love the activities director. He's very positive and encouraging. She's very involved everyday with the exercise as well as the activities. They're also accommodatingng to her loss of hearing, unlike the other places. She is deaf and the other places weren't willing to accommodate that. Several of the staff members have given me their personal cell phones, and it encouraged me to reach out for anything that she needs or that I need concerning her well-being and care. I feel like they just go above and beyond to care for their residents and their well-being. The food is delicious. They have a salon, a library, a place to go and do activities, and a place for exercises. I love the courtyard area, there's a covered porch with comfortable furniture, an area for them to walk around, and a koi pond, all of which is very appealing to my grandmother. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Rubio 2018-08-16 The small family-like environment provided the comfort and care much needed by my mom after the death of my dad, her 67 year companion. Through every transition of declining health, the staff attentively provided what mom needed until her passing on Aug. 8, 2018. As Mom's only surviving daughter, I appreciate deeply how each caretaker, kitchen worker, housekeeper, nurse, and service provider became Mom's (became my) family. Her last breath was taken in room #22. What a gift that was to Mom and to me! I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Jeannie227317 2017-05-11 The Pointe at Kirby Gate is a lovely, well-maintained place with an 8:1 ratio of patients and staff. My mother loves it there. She is healthier, too. This is a wonderful community because she is able to mix with people in assisted living, memory care, and even hospice when that time would come. It has been a good transition. My mom has her own apartment that she can leave the door open. They keep a very close eye on all the residents with memory problems and keep them very active and healthy, too. I'm very happy with them. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Patricia686577 2017-04-12 I am not really familiar with assisted living, but The Pointe at Kirby Gate seems to be what we are looking for.

The grounds were nice, clean, and well maintained. I visited this facility

Caring resident2 2016-02-15 Everything is very good at The Pointe at Kirby Gate. The staff is good, the food is excellent, it's nice and clean, and I'm very pleased. They got a bunch of stuff that goes on everyday of the week. They have a patio, but no pool. They do a really good job with everything. They're in for an update of the facility this year; which it needs, too. I was impressed most with the people that I talked to, the people running it as well as the residents. Everybody is really positive about the place. They're super nice people. We're very pleased with it, and they've continued to be that way. I am/was a resident of this facility

Caring59281 2015-08-27 Pointe at Kirby Gate was actually my top choice, but they didn't have availability. Their executive director and activities director were great, it was all on one floor, and the rooms were nice enough. They had exercises and trivia; they had stuff going on all the time. I visited this facility

DawnGW 2014-10-10 This facility was lovely. Small community, very clean and very friendly staff. Good staff to patient ratio in the assisted living neighborhood. There is a wait list, they only have one staff member that knows basic sign language and it was above our price range. I visited this facility

Caring6268 2014-09-23 I was very impressed with Pointe at Kirby Gate and it was close to our neighborhood. I had the people evaluate him, but he did not qualify as he cannot move on his own. I liked it because it was small, and I felt like the people were friendly. I ran into a few of the residents and everybody seemed pretty happy and content. We liked the rooms; they had four styles. The studio was one big room, but it was kind of sectioned off to have the appearance of a separate bedroom -- that was the room I liked -- and it was the smallest which was fine and basic. They had a little small meeting room that they did exercises and it didn't appear as a gym. It was small but I think that’s where they would meet for exercises. They had a little outside patio and a lounge area. Everybody seemed really friendly and homey. I visited this facility

Kim84860850 2014-09-10 I went for lunch at The Pointe, and it was nice. The dining room was nice, and the food was good. They also have a memory care unit, but it was a little more expensive. They have a very nice environment. The room was very nice. I visited this facility

Caring87842850 2014-08-07 The Pointe at Kirby Gate was clean. It wasn’t as bright as some of the other places but it had a VERY homey attitude. Everybody was VERY friendly. I like very much the idea that every resident had pictures where people would see who they are, what they’re interested in and what they don’t like. When you went in the kitchen, they had pictures of all the residents on the wall with the listing of problems of the different food so the chef knew exactly what they could and could not deal with. It was very nice and individualized. The residents were really engaged in activities. There was a room of people just having a good time. One resident thought I was her daughter so we talked for a few minutes. They also have outside activities like exercise, church activities and happy hour every Friday. They seldom have a vacancy and I understand why. I visited this facility

Jenny10 2014-07-18 My mother moved in to The Pointe at Kirby Gate on July first, and I am really happy with them. Everybody on the entire staff always know how my mother is. I don't care who answers the phone, they always say, "Oh, your mother is at lunch," or "She's doing this and that." She has a 500 square foot studio with a little kitchen, a bath, a nice size closet, big window, and high ceiling. It is very clean and nice. Their activities are amazing. They have had an activities director in there for about 15 years. His name is Tony, and he gets everybody out. I have never seen such an active group of assisted living residents because, you know, sometimes they have problems and donÕt want to be engaged, but he goes in and gets them. The way that they structure their activities blends in with the mealtimes. So, other than people going to take a nap, the people are always engaged.It is really beautiful. It feels like a home. The decoration is really warm, and I really think she will become accustomed to it. It has a very nice lobby. It is all in a square, like a courtyard. So it is very nice, and you will never feel like you are separated. The dining room area is attractive, and the food is excellent. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring83886550 2014-06-17 The Pointe was actually nice. I liked that it was small and the staff was engaged with everybody. They were very friendly, very nice, and very open. They just had a water leak, and they were in the process of being rebuilt, but it was very nice. The activities director was the first person who came to us when we were there, and he seemed very friendly. During the number of visits we went by there, we could see the activities director interacting with the residents. I visited this facility

caring020418 2014-04-28 I like The Pointe because of its size; it is very small, and the people here are just incredible. My mother’s room is fine. They’re having an Easter party, they do Bingo, and they play all kinds of games. They go shopping, and they had a little city tour the other day. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Darwin 2013-10-11 My aunt stayed at The Pointe at Kirby Gate for almost three years before she passed away. She received good care and the staff seemed nice. The residents all looked well-taken care of. The rooms were nice, spacious, very clean and well-appointed. They had a beautiful patio area where the residents could sit and admire the flowers.

K.L. 2022-04-28 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 visited this facility

Acquinita 2022-04-04 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 visited this facility

jburns 2018-11-13 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. I visited this facility

Nephew John 2016-09-27 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. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Through every transition of declining health, the staff attentively provided what mom needed until her passing on Aug. 8, 2018. As Mom's only surviving daughter, I appreciate deeply how each caretaker, kitchen worker, housekeeper, nurse, and service provider became Mom's (became my) family.

My mother moved in to The Pointe at Kirby Gate on July first, and I am really happy with them. Everybody on the entire staff always know how my mother is. I don't care who answers the phone, they always say, "Oh, your mother is at lunch," or "She's doing this and that." She has a 500 square foot studio with a little kitchen, a bath, a nice size closet, big window, and high ceiling. It is very clean and nice. Their activities are amazing. They have had an activities director in there for about 15 years. His name is Tony, and he gets everybody out. I have never seen such an active group of assisted living residents because, you know, sometimes they have problems and donÕt want to be engaged, but he goes in and gets them. The way that they structure their activities blends in with the mealtimes. So, other than people going to take a nap, the people are always engaged.It is really beautiful. It feels like a home.

They just had a water leak, and they were in the process of being rebuilt, but it was very nice. The activities director was the first person who came to us when we were there, and he seemed very friendly. During the number of visits we went by there, we could see the activities director interacting with the residents.

I like The Pointe because of its size; it is very small, and the people here are just incredible. My mother’s room is fine. They’re having an Easter party, they do Bingo, and they play all kinds of games. They go shopping, and they had a little city tour the other day.

My aunt stayed at The Pointe at Kirby Gate for almost three years before she passed away. She received good care and the staff seemed nice. The residents all looked well-taken care of. The rooms were nice, spacious, very clean and well-appointed. They had a beautiful patio area where the residents could sit and admire the flowers.

Memory Care Reviews for The Pointe at Kirby Gate

I visited this facility

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 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.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

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.
