StoryPoint Chesterton operates as an Independent Living community that layers in targeted medical support. Residents who manage chronic conditions such as diabetes have access to focused Diabetes Care, while a Speech Therapist is available for communication or swallowing concerns. Mild dementia conditions can be accommodated, and the community also partners with Hospice services when needed. On-site professionals, including nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and a podiatrist, allow many routine and specialized treatments to be delivered without leaving the campus. Medication Management is offered, ensuring prescriptions are monitored and administered on schedule.
Around-the-clock health oversight is reinforced by an RN/LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All team members undergo background checks, and an Activity Director plans cognitive and social programs that dovetail with each resident’s care plan. Daily living assistance is available at the standby-supervision level for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents handle eating independently. Transfer support accommodates walkers, wheelchairs, or simple standby help. Incontinence and ambulatory care services are available, and a massage therapist visits routinely to aid comfort and circulation.
Apartments are designed for privacy and convenience, offering options that may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains each of these features, so it is advisable to confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining program that lets residents choose when to eat. Menus can be customized to vegetarian, organic, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar preferences, and guest meals are available for visiting family or friends. Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to select only the support they want while maintaining control of their daily routines.
Residents can use on-site amenities such as a fitness room, barber/beauty shop, movie theater, library, exercise classes, special-interest clubs, and scheduled religious services. Internet access is campus-wide, resident parking is provided, and community transportation is available for shopping, appointments, and events.
