StoryPoint Portage delivers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to shift smoothly between service levels as needs change. For Memory Care residents, the community accepts seniors with wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risk, combative tendencies, behavioral issues, night-time wakefulness, and advanced dementia. Clinical support extends to wound care management, oxygen therapy, special diets, younger residents under age 60, and diabetic care for both oral medications and injections. Comprehensive transfer assistance is available, ranging from standby help to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for individuals who are bed bound.
Around-the-clock medical oversight is built into daily operations. An RN or LPN is on site 24 hours a day, backed by a nurse on call at all times. The community conducts background checks, keeps an awake night staff, and secures the building with door alarms, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems. On-site psychiatric support is accepted, and an activity director plans structured engagement throughout the day. Full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting is provided when required, and security personnel are present around the clock.
Accommodation options include apartments with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, independent temperature controls, and cable service; not every unit features each of these elements, so families should confirm availability. Independent Living residents benefit from utilities and home maintenance being handled by staff, while Assisted Living and Memory Care residents have the same maintenance support plus in-unit safety modifications as needed.
Dining services offer both set menus and made-to-order selections three times daily, with snacks available between meals. The culinary team manages diet modifications for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered plans, coordinating closely with nursing staff. Independent Living tenants can opt into a monthly meal plan, allowing flexibility for those who still prefer occasional home cooking in their kitchenettes. Medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry service are also available to Independent Living residents for an additional layer of support.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-compatible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center with internet access, communal gardens, scheduled religious services, and community transportation for errands 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.
