StoryPoint Grand Rapids East is an independent living community that can layer in notable clinical oversight. Residents who need oxygen support, diabetes management—whether oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—or are living with moderate dementia can be accommodated. The team accepts adults under 60 when appropriate and uses a PERS alert system to route any urgent call directly to on-site staff. Caregivers undergo background checks, and visiting podiatry keeps routine foot health in house, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Daily support is available for personal care tasks. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while offering standby supervision for meals. Mobility needs are addressed with options ranging from simple walker guidance to one- or two-person transfers for wheelchair users. An Activity Director coordinates programming that aligns with individual care plans, helping residents remain engaged and active within their capabilities.
Apartments vary in layout and features, but many come with private bathrooms, a kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, yet not every unit includes every listed amenity. Independent living residents can also opt into medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry support.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day and in-room meal delivery when desired. This flexibility lets residents honor personal schedules and dietary needs without giving up choice.
Lifestyle amenities include resident parking, an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty services, internet access, communal gardens, a library, special-interest clubs, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for shopping or medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property is near public transit as well, giving residents multiple ways to stay connected to greater Grand Rapids.
