The Reserve at Memorial Pointe

814 Memorial Pointe Drive in Southgate is home to The Reserve at Memorial Pointe, which offers two levels of care, assisted living and memory care, under one roof. Trilogy Health Services operates the community, which lets a resident move from assisted living into memory care later on without changing addresses at all if needs change over time.

Assisted living here is set up for residents who want support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing and medication reminders while keeping some independence, with staff available on site as needed. Memory care pairs residents with caregivers who take time to learn their history and interests, and follows a structured schedule that runs from morning into the evening for residents living with memory loss.

Meals are prepared on site and generally included with either level of care, along with housekeeping and laundry, and menus can be adjusted for dietary needs under a physician's direction. Trilogy also lists respite stays for a caregiver who needs a break or a resident testing out the community before a longer move, and keeps a waitlist available when a specific apartment is not open right away.

Families weighing The Reserve at Memorial Pointe against other options can look through listings for senior living in Southgate, and should ask directly what would move a resident from assisted living into memory care and how staff make that call over time.
