Our assisted living communities have providers prepared to serve a variety of needs from administering medications to coordinating with personal health care providers and more.

A: The biggest benefit of living in an assisted living community versus receiving care at home is socialization. At StoryPoint, our assisted living communities organize daily activities specific for residents in order to engage them in hobbies and help them connect with others. In addition, our employees get to know residents on a personal level — and do routine check-ins to make sure your loved one feels comfortable and fulfilled.
A: There’s no “right” time to move in — timing is always based on individual wants and needs.
