Enhanced living is a flexible lifestyle option that bridges the gap between independent living and assisted living. Residents enjoy the comfort of their own apartment and the vibrant atmosphere of community life, while having the option to add support services as their needs evolve.
Instead of committing to a full assistance plan, enhanced living allows residents to choose only the services they want — giving them the freedom to maintain their independence while receiving personalized support when it’s helpful.

People are so nice and they immediately 'busted their butts' to get to know me. I like it here a whole lot. It feels light and airy. It's nice to feel at home.
My husband moved to StoryPoint Portage and it has been a very good experience. Leaving a home is always a hard thing but everyone at StoryPoint is working hard to make a new apartment feel like home. Caregivers are exceptional and the staff is very supportive in regards to medical care and life enrichment activities. It is amazing how quickly they learned both my husband‘s name and my name in every department of the facility. It feels like we belong and are appreciated and are loved. I highly recommend StoryPoint Portage!
I love the activities and all the people. Ive made a lot of friends at dinner. The staff are all wonderful and make me feel like I really belong here. I was nervous when I moved in, now I'm glad I did.
There is always something to do at StoryPoint Rockford, but it stands out because of the people. It gives you peace of mind knowing you are in good hands.
I have had the pleasure of living in 2 different levels of care since coming to this community. I feel safe here - always! I love the music and activities, there is lots to do. You can even bring your pets!!
Yes! Many of our communities are pet-friendly and welcome residents’ furry companions. Pet policies vary by community, including guidelines for size and breed, so our team can walk you through the specific requirements when you schedule a tour.
How do I choose the right living option for my loved one?
The right living option depends on your loved one's current needs, lifestyle preferences, and long-term goals. Our team will help you understand your loved one’s needs and explore which living option may be the best fit. Key questions to consider:
Does your loved one need assistance with daily personal care?
Are safety at home or social isolation concerns?
What social, culinary, and wellness experiences matter most to them?
What exactly is Enhanced Living?
Enhanced living offers the independence and community experience of independent living with the option to add personalized support as needs change. Residents enjoy their own apartment, chef-prepared dining, activities, amenities, and opportunities to connect while choosing additional services through a licensed third-party provider. Support can include medication reminders, assistance with daily activities, mobility assistance, companion care, wellness checks, and more. This flexible approach allows residents to choose the support that fits their needs while continuing to enjoy an independent lifestyle.
Who is Enhanced Living designed for?
Enhanced living is designed for older adults who could benefit from some additional support with everyday routines but don’t need the more comprehensive care offered in assisted living. Residents enjoy the lifestyle, amenities, and social opportunities of independent living with the flexibility to add services as their needs change. Through a licensed third-party provider, support can include medication reminders, assistance with daily activities, mobility assistance, companion care, wellness checks, and more — creating an experience tailored to what each resident needs.
How is Enhanced Living different from assisted living?
Enhanced living offers the lifestyle and amenities of independent living with the option to add personalized support through a licensed third-party provider. Residents can choose the services that fit their needs, such as medication reminders, assistance with daily activities, mobility assistance, and wellness checks. Assisted living provides more comprehensive care in a licensed setting, with support provided directly by the community’s trained care team. This can include medication assistance, 24/7 support, care assessments, and individualized service plans.
What kind of support can be added through Enhanced Living?
Through a licensed third-party provider, services can include medication reminders, assistance with daily activities such as bathing, grooming, and dressing, mobility assistance, incontinence assistance, companion care, wellness checks, coordination with health care providers, family care conferences, and housekeeping.
Does choosing Enhanced Living mean moving to a different apartment?
Not necessarily. In some communities, residents may be able to add enhanced living support while remaining in the apartment they already know and love. If a move is needed, the new apartment may be nearby, allowing residents to stay connected to the community, routines, and relationships that are already familiar to them.
How is Enhanced Living priced?
Our team will walk you through pricing and available options, so you know exactly what to expect. While enhanced living apartments typically have a slightly higher monthly rate than independent living apartments, additional support services are selected and priced based on each resident’s individual needs.
How much does senior living cost at a StoryPoint Group community?
Monthly rates vary by community, apartment, and level of support. When considering the cost of senior living, it can be helpful to look at everything included — from dining and activities to maintenance, transportation, amenities, and support — and compare that with the expenses of living at home.
Our team will walk you through pricing, what’s included, and any additional costs so you have a clear picture of what to expect.
Does Medicare or Medicaid cover senior living?
Medicare generally does not cover the cost of independent living, assisted living, or memory care, though it may cover certain short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation services. Medicaid coverage varies by state and is based on eligibility requirements.
Other ways families may help cover senior living costs include long-term care insurance, veterans benefits such as Aid and Attendance, personal savings, life insurance options, and bridge loans. Our team can help you explore available resources and better understand the options that may apply to your family.
Are there veterans benefits that can help cover the cost of senior living?
The VA’s Aid and Attendance benefit may help qualifying veterans and surviving spouses cover the cost of assisted living or memory care. Eligibility is based on factors such as military service, financial qualifications, and the need for assistance with daily activities. Because every situation is different, our team can connect you with a veterans benefits specialist at no cost to help you understand eligibility and explore the benefits that may be available to you or your loved one.
What is typically included in the monthly rate?
Monthly rates typically include your apartment along with services and amenities such as chef-prepared dining, utilities, Wi-Fi, housekeeping and laundry, scheduled transportation, fitness and wellness programs, social activities and outings, and maintenance-free living. What’s included varies by community and living option, and additional support services may be available based on individual needs. Our team will walk you through specific community’s pricing and what’s included in your monthly rate, so you know exactly what to expect.
Is there a buy-in or entrance fee required?
StoryPoint Group communities operate on a monthly rental model, so there is no large buy-in or entrance fee required. This gives families greater financial flexibility without the upfront investment required by some senior living communities. A community fee or deposit is typically collected at move-in, with specific costs varying by community.
What health or medical assessment is needed before moving in?
Before moving into assisted living or memory care, a health assessment helps us understand your loved one’s needs and determine how we can best support them. This typically includes a review of their medical history and an in-person or telehealth assessment. From there, we create a personalized support plan based on their individual needs. Our team will guide you through each step and let you know exactly what information is needed.
What activities and programming are available for residents?
There’s always something to look forward to. Our communities offer a full calendar of activities, events, and experiences designed around residents' interests. Depending on the community, that may include fitness classes, creative workshops, educational programs, live music, social events, clubs, games, gardening, outings to local restaurants and attractions, holiday celebrations, and more.
Can residents come and go as they please?
Yes. Residents are encouraged to continue their usual routines, whether that means visiting family and friends, running errands, attending appointments, or heading out for the day. Depending on the living option and a resident’s individual needs, some additional considerations may apply.
What on-site amenities are typically available?
Amenities vary by community but commonly include:
Fitness center and group exercise studio
Beauty salon and barbershop
Library and quiet reading rooms
Café or bistro
Movie theater or media lounge
Beautifully landscaped outdoor courtyards and walking paths
Private dining room for family gatherings
On-site Wi-Fi throughout the community
Does StoryPoint Group offer home care services?
Yes. CorsoCare is StoryPoint Group's affiliated home care and hospice brand, providing in-home personal support and hospice services for those who need health care in their current home before or in addition to community living. CorsoCare team members are held to the same standard of compassion and quality as all StoryPoint Group communities.
