The apartment is very nice . Staff is friendly. Food is tasty. There are a variety of activities available nearly everyday. The bus is very convenient for residents if they don't have or want to drive.

I visited as a dining guest and was pleasantly surprised to enjoy a gourmet meal. The dining experience was comparable to any I've had in an expensive restaurant. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and the reception area, bistro, and dining facilities were clean, well apportioned, and modern.

The staff is wonderful. Marti, the director is caring and compassionate. When you talk to her you have her undivided attention. She is a blessing to StoryPoint. All of my interactions with other staff have been great. The real question is, would I live there if need be. Yes without doubt.

I love that my mom found a place where she has lots to do! StoryPoint provides wonderful activities for residents. It provides comfort to me as her daughter that she is in a safe place surrounded by hospitable people.

From day one I have been very impressed with the staff. Very friendly and caring. Moving our Dad in was a very emotional time for my sister and I. And for our Dad too. The staff was so supportive of our needs and genuinely cared. Storey Point is very clean and is a warm environment. When ever I had a concern it was acknowledged and taken care of immediately. When visiting other facilities in our area I didn’t feel the warm welcome we received at Storey Point. I remember telling Dad that Storey point was a place I could live at when its time for me To move out of my house. I highly recommend Storey point

I am living at StoryPoint Portage right at the moment and I just love everyone here and the staff. I haven't met anybody yet that I don't like. I'm glad I got in and I am happy here. So far, I haven't had any food that I don't like, but all the other residents complain at dinner time. All kinds of activities are offered, like four things a day, and I do most of them. They go to exercise every morning, there's bingo, meditations, and just a lot of stuff to do. There's something to do every two hours. There are also tables on every floor where the residents sit and put jigsaw puzzles together.

StoryPoint checked all of the boxes when we were searching for a new living situation for my father-in-law. They offer an array of services so that we could choose the help he needed while letting him be still be independent where he’s able. After too much COVID social isolation living by himself he’s happy to have friends to eat dinner with and a wonderful variety of daily activities. The apartment was more spacious than we expected and balcony is a plus. The entire facility is very clean and modern. The SP team as well as the Homecare staff have been great to work with during the entire move-in process. No place is perfect but so far we are very happy with choosing StoryPoint knowing he’s well taken care of and having his medical needs met.

My mother has moved into StoryPoint Portage. They were kind enough to allow us to help her move in. We were given several days to get her moved in and set up. Due to COVID, everything is different than it normally would be. It's a beautiful facility. All the staff that we've met so far has been very kind and very nice, and we've been pleased. She has a one-bedroom apartment. They have a lot of amenities. Unfortunately, some of them are not available right now due to COVID, but they have a large dining room, a bistro type restaurant, exercise facilities, a computer library room, a snack bar, a shuttle bus that takes them to the grocery store or to doctors' appointment, and they have a theater room where they show movies. My mother has had meals there, and she said the food has been good so far.

We looked at other facilities before my mom chose this one. She has her own apartment with furniture she had in her previous home, which made the transition a bit easier for her. There are a large variety of activities for residents; she enjoys the bingo games and the knitting group that meets once a week. I know she enjoys having family members join her for monthly brunch. It's nice that someone comes and cleans her unit and that her sheets are done for her. Her one complaint is the food and the turnover in the kitchen.

My husband’s Mother has lived at StoryPoint Portage for two years. She will tell you that moving there was the best decision she could have made. She will also tell you that she has more friends than she has ever had. It makes us SO HAPPY to always see her SO HAPPY. ❤️❤️ Mom settled in quickly, and within a few weeks was participating in all the activities. She plays Dominoes, Bingo, Euchre, SkipBo, and is known as the Puzzle Queen. Mom goes to most planned events, both inside SP, and outside. She often goes on bus trips to restaurants, shows, plays and other outings. StoryPoint is very family friendly. Family members are always made to feel very welcome, and included. Her great-grandchildren recently came to the Grandparents Day Old Car Show, and they are anxiously waiting for the Halloween celebration on October 30th. The employees are warm and friendly, and you will always see them interacting with the residents. It’s a very happy place!! Mom is 90 years old, and still gets around pretty well. She loves the size and location of her apartment, and until recently she had her beloved dog with her. We are grateful she can still live independently, surrounded by people who love, care, and watch out for her.

Be very careful when signing a lease here. They sure lead you down the path with lots of blank promises. My aunt was extremely unhappy with her care, especially considering the big price tag called “rent.” She didn’t like the food ( she’s never been fussy about food, so we knew it was an issue) , the carepeople were always changing( great amount of turnover) and they would take forever to answer her call button. We debated moving her again ( it’s not easy at her age) , and decided she deserved better. She’s very happy now in her new place, and we wished we had moved her out of Story Pointe sooner.

Story Point Portage was clean and nice, but it seemed to be run more like a business instead of a caring facility or home. The amenities were pretty comprehensive, it looked like they had different activities for the residents. They had buses and vans that would take you places, and it looked like they had a robust calendar of activities. The building itself was new and clean. I felt the only downfall was it's next to the expressway.

Transitions are sometimes very difficult for elderly people. My father was one of those people, but for health reasons, dad and mom had to move from their home after 50 years. Dad was angry that he had to move, but the staff at StoryPoint were fabulous in helping both he and mom to adjust. Dad is in a wheelchair and the staff has been great about helping him. If he falls, all he does is press a button and the staff comes running to help him! They were kind and provided a listening ear. They allowed dad to put up shelves so he didn’t have to leave all of his treasured things behind. They celebrated their gifts. Dad even has a little workroom where he does small projects. They have been there 1 1/2 years and are SO happy. They have friends and the caring environment is amazing! Wouldn’t want them anywhere else!

My parents moved to StoryPoint when it opened 2 years ago. It was SUCH a great decision! Everything is fresh and new, beautifully designed and open areas for people to gather. My parents have a 2 bedroom apartment and it is very spacious. Our extended family of 15 is able to come over and still be comfortable. Family gatherings for the brunches and other meals are a special time. My parents can still host the meal, and the food prepared is amazing! The staff is warm and welcoming, and we never feel like we are an inconvenience. The staff also are so good to my parents, and genuinely care about them. StoryPoint has a van that takes people to appointments and grocery shopping which is great for bad weather or when you aren't able to drive. Holidays are celebrated in special ways. My parents have many friends at StoryPoint already, and it definitely has a family feel to it. Whether its a cup of coffee in the morning, lunch in the Bistro or included dinner in the evening, there are so many great options for people to connect. My dad recently passed away, and I'm so happy Mom has her friends and staff that care for her at StoryPoint. It really is a great place!

For months my wife and I watched with great anticipation the construction and start-up of the StoryPoint of Portage Michigan facility. My wife's mother was at just the right point in her life to benefit from a place like StoryPoint. Her doctor recommended she eat healthy, stay physically active, and stay socially active. We saw the potential for all three at StoryPoint. My wife and I first visited newly constructed and opened StoryPoint of Rockford Michigan and were very impressed. The staff treated us like royalty, the food was terrific, and the facility was really great. We quickly signed my mother-in-law up for an apartment in Portage. One year ago in preparation for the move-in, the StoryPoint of Portage staff treated us like royalty, the food was terrific, and the facility was really great. Over the past 12 months my mother-in-law has truly benefited from the very tasty and nutritious dinners, the ability to stay physically active via structured exercise opportunities nearly every day of the week, and the chance to interact daily with dozens of her new and friendly peers. Over the past 12 months my wife and I have also appreciated meeting and getting to know the StoryPoint of Portage staff. We have consistently been treated with genuine interest and respect and we have observed on every occasion my mother-in-law being treated in a similar manner.
