StoryPoint Blaine

Memory care is the only level of care at StoryPoint Blaine, a community at 11748 Ulysses Lane NE formerly listed as Edgemont Place. StoryPoint Group operates the community, which sits near Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park in Blaine, Minnesota. It serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia who need a structured day and closer supervision than assisted living typically provides.

The secured memory care neighborhood is staffed around the clock by trained associates and runs certified, custom-designed dementia programming built around each resident. Supervision of daily activities and of self-administered medications is included, along with on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy for residents who need it during the week.

Meals are served three times a day plus snacks, and housekeeping and linen service are part of daily life. Scheduled transportation covers appointments, and an emergency response system is installed throughout the building. The community also offers short-term respite stays of 14 to 29 days for a family caregiver who needs a break or a resident recovering after a hospital stay. A short walkthrough during a tour typically covers cost, care details and move-in timing in one visit.

Families should ask how the community structures the day for residents who become anxious later in the afternoon or evening, a pattern common in dementia care. A respite stay can also be a way to see how the community works before a longer move, and it is worth comparing against other senior living in Blaine memory care options nearby.
