StoryPoint Fenton

StoryPoint Fenton provides staff for the Memory Care Neighborhood 24 hours a day. The neighborhood staffing depends on the number of residents who make their homes there. We ensure that we meet or exceed all required staffing for our Memory Care Neighborhood.

StoryPoint Fenton provides complimentary transportation via our wheelchair lift van to and from medical appointments. We also use our van to take our residents on outings to local attractions, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

StoryPoint Fenton provides each Memory Care Resident with choices and options for meals. Working with families, we identify “likes” & “dislikes” related to food choices and ensure each resident receives nutritious, well-balanced meals that appeal to the resident’s tastes. Caregivers take orders for each meal & residents join each other in a family-style setting in the dining area to share the meal. To assist our dementia residents in making their meal choices, our caregivers often use our picture menus to help them decide what they want to eat. Caregivers often share the meal with residents, providing a modeling opportunity that encourages residents to eat. As residents progress through the varying stages of dementia, caregivers may request certain types of foods, for example, finger foods or sweet-tasting items that appeal to the resident. To encourage residents to eat, our neighborhood Bistro is set up to offer drinks & snacks that residents can have throughout the day.

StoryPoint Fenton is designed to the latest in fire safety standards and life safety codes with a fully integrated alarm system that includes smoke detectors in all resident apartments and throughout the community and a remote connection to a central dispatching system. Our community is fully sprinkled ensuring even greater safety for residents. Residents are provided with an emergency call system that is monitored in a central location and alerts staff when a resident needs assistance. All entry and exit doors are alarmed and provide a greater measure of security. Our front entrance is locked after 7 p.m. nightly and requires a code and staff assistance to enter the community after hours. StoryPoint Fenton is also monitored 24/7 via security video cameras to ensure the safest possible setting for each of our residents.

We begin building great communication & information exchange with residents & their families beginning with each resident’s pre-admission. Our team spends time learning about each resident’s individual needs and preferences to ensure a person-centered, individualized plan using resident and family input. This plan is reviewed on a regular basis & as resident’s needs or preferences change it is updated to reflect changes. We encourage our families to ask questions, visit with our leadership team & staff whenever possible to ensure we are sharing information effectively. Family members are invited to our Family Council meeting where they can communicate with the community leaders & share their experiences with other family members. Our full-time activities director shares photos with families of our residents engaged in our social and recreational activities programs.

StoryPoint Fenton is located just outside of downtown Fenton in a business district adjacent to an industrial parkway.

StoryPoint Fenton is a pet-friendly community and we understand that our residents’ pets are family. Dogs and cats are welcome; however, must remain inside the resident’s personal apartment. Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys having pets in their lives and we must respect their rights as well as those of our pet owners. All pets must be leashed when outside the resident’s apartment. We request that each resident and/or a family member ensure the care of the pet. Pets are not allowed in the dining rooms at any time.

StoryPoint Fenton is committed to ensuring that our caregivers are provided with ongoing education and training. Upon becoming a member of our team, each staff member is provided with an extensive orientation process that includes both state-required training and additional training required by our community. Both new hire training and our ongoing continuing education programs include topics related to Dementia, Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Resident Safety, Confidentiality and Safeguarding of resident information, Safe Medication Administration Techniques, and Customer Service. Training is provided for staff through in-person in-services and online continuing education.
