Two Addresses on West Maple Road
Both of West Bloomfield Township's memory care options stand on West Maple Road, and both run their secured side as a neighborhood inside a larger community rather than as a dementia house of its own. Fleischman Residence, at 6710 West Maple, opens at $5,800 a month, and StoryPoint West Bloomfield, further along the same road at 5475, opens at $6,500. Between them they hold 226 beds, more capacity than anything nearby, and the 2026 figure of $6,150 sits squarely between the two because nothing else in town pulls it either way.
Both numbers are starting prices, and a secured-care agreement is written above where a building begins, so $5,800 - $6,500/mo is the ground floor of this market rather than the quote. What separates the two figures is not how the care is delivered, since a building of this size can staff a hard afternoon out of its own roster. It is the apartment, the finish and the depth of the service list across the wider community, which a secured-side resident is still paying toward.
Room, Stage, and Whether You Already Live There
Room type is the biggest lever here, and it exists because both buildings carry apartments originally laid out for assisted living. A resident in secured care at either address can occupy a companion suite, a studio, or something considerably larger, and the ground that choice covers is wider than the distance between the two buildings. Households that fix on the published figures and then tour the bigger apartments are surprised twice.
The second lever is where the resident sits in the illness on arrival. Both buildings price support in levels, so someone who still walks unaided, feeds themselves and sleeps through most nights is written well under someone who needs two people to transfer and a staff member in reach every evening. Because the two published figures are close together, the level set at assessment frequently decides which building costs a given household less, and it can reverse the order on paper.
The third is the assisted living side of each address, since a resident already living in either building steps across into the secured neighborhood at a price the two set almost identically, so a household already inside one has less to gain from shopping around than it expects.
Two Line Items Decide Whether a Quote Holds
The first is incontinence care, which both addresses price as labor rather than as supplies and reassess as it grows. The second is medication given by a licensed nurse instead of a trained aide, common in secured care and billed at its own rate. Between them they account for most of the distance between a published figure and a real invoice.
Inside the monthly rate sit the apartment and its utilities, meals served with the prompting dementia makes necessary, laundry and housekeeping at the heavier volume secured care generates, alarmed exits and a secured perimeter, an activity schedule built around cognition rather than mobility, and staff awake through the night. A one-time community fee lands at move-in, and what no rate covers at Fleischman Residence or StoryPoint West Bloomfield is behavioral health treatment, which is where this township differs from most, because Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital runs an inpatient program for patients aged 55 and over on a campus minutes from both doors.
Deposits, Notice, and the Order of Operations
Both buildings take a deposit to hold a room and write a notice period into the agreement, so the calendar carries costs too. Read the notice clause before signing, since a household that moves again later pays for the room it is leaving as well as the one it takes.
The assessment comes first regardless, and each building sends its own nurse, so with 54 secured beds across the township a room and an assessment seldom come free in the same week unless the assessment is already done. Gather the physician's statement, tuberculosis screening and medication list before touring, and ask both addresses to keep it on file so a room opening on short notice can actually be taken.
