Northern Roots Assisted Living

Northern Roots Assisted Living was a small assisted living facility at 3821 S 39 Road in Cadillac, Michigan, with a license in effect from July 2022 to July 2024, but as of May 21, 2024, the facility was reported as closed, and it operated as an adult family home for up to six residents, with a focus on seniors who either lived mostly independently or needed daily help. The staff was known for being kind, helpful, and friendly, which helped create a welcoming environment where residents could feel at ease, and families often felt included and supported throughout their loved one's stay. Residents got furnished apartments with telephones, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and emergency alert systems, while housekeeping and laundry were taken care of along with meal plans that could be adapted for allergies or diabetes. Meals cooked by experienced staff got served in a dining room, and the facility offered daily activities, movie nights, community-sponsored events, and even scheduled trips or field outings, plus there were indoor common rooms, outdoor gardens, and walking paths for social time and relaxation, and residents could use a beauty salon on-site. Move-in coordination, in-house transportation to appointments, and parking were available, and there was a focus on safety, with the building being wheelchair accessible and offering support for non-ambulatory care. Nursing aides helped with medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, and managing daily living tasks, and the facility coordinated with healthcare providers for other medical needs, including support for conditions like diabetes or incontinence. Residents had devotional activities hosted offsite for spiritual needs, and respite care was an option for families needing short-term help. With 24-hour supervision, a resident-centered approach, and shared or private room choices, Northern Roots Assisted Living aimed to make daily life comfortable and provide care that met each resident's needs.
