Maumee Pointe Assisted Living & Memory Care

Medical Center Parkway in Maumee is home to Maumee Pointe Assisted Living & Memory Care, at 1050 Medical Center Parkway. The community offers assisted living, memory care and short respite stays, and it focuses on residents living with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other forms of dementia. Distinctive Living operates the community, and the building serves families from Maumee and the surrounding area.

Care is planned around each resident and covers the whole day, from personal care to meals to activities. Trained staff are available around the clock. Full board is included, meaning 3 meals a day plus snacks, served restaurant style. For a resident with Parkinson's disease, ask how staff help with mobility, meals and medication timing.

Memory care adjusts to each resident's needs, with the goal of keeping residents engaged instead of idle. Daily activities and social events are scheduled across the week. Respite stays let a family caregiver step back for a short time while a parent uses the same services as long-term residents, and they offer a low-pressure way to try the community. Ask for a sample activity calendar to see how the week is paced.

When comparing senior living in Maumee, ask how a resident moves from assisted living to memory care, how care plans are reviewed with families, and what the monthly rate includes at each level. Asking how the staff communicate changes in a resident's health also helps families plan.
