Key Review Excerpts
“The staff were always friendly and they the seemed like they actually cared, it was not just a job for them. The food was great, and the layout was perfect with everything within a circle so my Mom couldn't get lost.”
“The staff at Storypoint Portage are kind and professional. They have taken excellent care of my dad as he goes through the stages of dementia. We have been to several memory care facilities and this by far is the absolute best!”
“I'm not sure what is going on here, but since it opened the service and menu options have declined and the prices have skyrocketed... The chef is rude and unprofessional. He won't speak to my mom since the meeting. A few more times dinner hasn't been delivered to my mom.”

Key Findings
Recent inspections have identified several concerns regarding food safety (undated/unlabeled food), cleanliness of linen storage, and the secure storage of cleaning chemicals. There was also a specific investigation into a resident's care needs and hygiene that required a corrective action plan.
Sep 24, 2025Complaint
Allegation that Resident A's care needs were not met: resident found in bed with soiled incontinence product, urine stains on linen, and dried food on bed covers/carpet; allegation of significant weight loss due to inconsistent meals.
Sep 19, 2024Routine
Cleaning chemicals and paint supplies were found in unlocked cabinets in the memory care and assisted living units, accessible to residents.
Clean linen storage room contained non-linen items (crutches, therapy equipment, personal items, etc.), posing a risk for cross-contamination.
Multiple food items (juice, milk, condiments, meats, etc.) in the kitchen, memory care, and employee lounge refrigerators/freezers were found opened and undated; also, scoops were stored inside containers of sugar, corn starch, and flour.
Dishwasher sanitization records for the preceding three months were blank, making it impossible to verify if multi-use utensils were properly sanitized.
Sep 28, 2022Routine
The facility failed to maintain a record of the meal census for the preceding 3-month period.
One resident record lacked evidence of appropriate tuberculosis screening completed within 12 months of admission.
Various food items in the kitchen were found undated and unlabeled; staff attempted to label items after being instructed to discard them.
Dishwasher sanitation records were incomplete for the months of June, July, August, and September 2022.
Three employees did not have appropriate tuberculosis screening completed within 10 days of hire and before occupational exposure.
