Here's how they describe themselves "55+ Lifestyles, Independent Living, Assisted Living, Alzheimer's Care, Nursing Care, Continuing Care."

The different levels of care are in different buildings, so the "independent living" apartments at Freedom Pointe do not have the atmosphere of a nursing home. They provide meals, cleaning etc., but no health care or nursing assistance. If you need that you can move to the Homewood assisted living building (but there are only 30+ apartments there) and if you have Alzheimers or other memory problems there is a separate building that is totally secure and even smaller (12-15 residents.) The new building across from the hospital is for nursing and rehab with 80 beds or so. All are operated by the same company -- Brookdale.
