Morning Pointe of Tuscaloosa provides assisted living and memory care in Tuscaloosa, AL. Located in the Rice Mine Road North neighborhood, the community has 60 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides one private living space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or a resident who wants a companion.
Assisted living includes help with personal grooming and transferring, along with licensed nurse oversight of health, wellness, and medication management. Memory care provides a supervised setting for a resident living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who may be at risk of wandering. Offering both care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community, and respite care provides a short-term stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Residents can take part in exercise and physical activity, creative and sensory programs, lifelong learning and cognitive programs, and organized group outings, with transportation available for community activities. Dining includes full table service and meals made from scratch with fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients, while no-salt-added and reduced-concentrated-sweets diets are accommodated. Pets are allowed, and caregiver support groups give family caregivers an on-site group program. Kendra Martin serves as the administrator.
