Both of West Bloomfield Township's senior-living buildings stand on the same road. Fleischman Residence at 6710 West Maple carries 116 beds and StoryPoint West Bloomfield at 5475 West Maple carries 110, which gives the township 226 beds, more capacity than any nearby community, with 54 of those secured for memory care.
Oakland County's residents past 65 number roughly 250,500, and West Bloomfield takes a disproportionate share of them, which is why two buildings of well over a hundred beds each can operate a mile apart.
How West Bloomfield Divides 226 Beds
Both do exactly two things at almost identical scale, which makes this an unusually direct comparison.
- Independent Living: Neither address runs apartment-style retirement, so township households at that stage remain in their own houses and arrange support as it becomes necessary.
- Assisted Living: Both provide it, at $4,200 at Fleischman Residence and $4,888 at StoryPoint West Bloomfield, a gap of under $700 across more than 200 beds.
- Memory Care: Both run secured neighborhoods, 24 beds at Fleischman Residence and 30 at StoryPoint, giving the township 54 in total.
- Skilled Nursing: Absent from both, which means nursing care follows an admission and is organised by the discharge team rather than the building.
With two buildings this size a mile apart, availability is rarely the constraint here, and the decision comes down to which one a household would rather visit twice a week.
Healthcare Access in West Bloomfield Township
The township has its own hospital, and it was built around an unusual idea. Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital runs 191 beds on an eighty-acre campus, holds a primary stroke centre designation, and covers cardiology and heart surgery, oncology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics and vascular surgery.
A behavioural health hospital has since opened on the same campus with a unit built specifically for patients aged 55 and over, which is rare in Michigan and directly relevant to families weighing memory care. Trauma travels to the Level II centre at Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital or to Pontiac, and above that to Royal Oak.
What West Bloomfield Township Pricing Looks Like
The two buildings track each other closely in 2026, with assisted living at $4,200 at Fleischman Residence and $4,888 at StoryPoint West Bloomfield, and memory care at $5,800 and $6,500.
What is striking is the consistency of the step between levels: moving from assisted living into memory care adds $1,600 at Fleischman Residence and $1,612 at StoryPoint, within a dozen dollars of each other. A household can therefore plan the eventual increase without knowing yet which building it will be in.
Why Families Choose West Bloomfield Township
Marshbank Park runs to over eighty acres on Cass Lake, the largest lake in Oakland County, and the West Bloomfield Trail and the 162-acre West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve give miles of level walking without leaving the township.
The Connect Senior Center on West Fourteen Mile Road holds the weekday calendar together, so a household can keep most of its week unchanged after a move rather than rebuilding it.
What a Local Advisor Brings to West Bloomfield Township
When two buildings sit a mile apart at the same scale and similar rates, what separates them is not on any comparison sheet. A Local Senior Advisor covering West Bloomfield can set out how the two differ in atmosphere and staffing, report which of the 54 secured beds are genuinely free, and explain how a Henry Ford West Bloomfield discharge sequences into either. Where money is finite, the reach of Michigan's MI Choice waiver is mapped before a deposit is placed.
