StoryPoint Mequon

Just north of Milwaukee and within driving distance of Lake Michigan, StoryPoint Mequon offers independent living and memory care at 6751 W. Mequon Road. StoryPoint Group operates the community, which was originally designed with architectural touches inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, including a central fireplace, a wrought-iron staircase and stained-glass windows throughout the building. Staff work at the pace of each resident and family to build a relationship over time rather than rushing that process.

Independent living residents keep their own schedule while chef-prepared meals, housekeeping-style support and a calendar of activities take care of the rest of the day. A tier of added, flexible support is also available for residents who want more help with routines without moving to a different apartment or neighborhood.

Memory care offers a secured neighborhood for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, staffed by employees trained specifically for that care. Select memory care communities in the StoryPoint Group network use SafelyYou, an AI-enabled fall detection technology intended to help staff respond faster when a resident falls during the day or night, which some families weigh heavily when comparing options.

Families weighing options north of Milwaukee can compare this community with others through senior living in Mequon before scheduling a tour and asking staff how the added support tier works day to day and how quickly it can be adjusted as a resident's needs change.
