Northridge Pines sits at 25125 Veterans Memorial Highway in Calumet, Michigan, right in the scenic Upper Peninsula, and you can see that when you look out at the peaceful landscape all around, and you'll find the place feels calm and supportive with nice cozy common areas where residents gather to chat, read, or just relax, and when you walk through, you'll notice how much everyone appreciates having their own private apartment or the choice between studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private rooms that they can decorate just the way they want, which really helps make a space feel like home. It's part of the Northridge Pines Assisted Living Community, which runs as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) and offers many types of support for seniors including independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, short-term stays, respite care, and nursing home care, so no matter if someone needs a little help or higher levels of care, there are trained staff on hand 24 hours a day who can assist with things like moving from a bed to a wheelchair, bathing, dressing, and handling medications or insulin for those living with diabetes, and the staff offers both incontinence care and routine medication management.
The community supports a variety of lifestyles with room for residents who want some independence-those who might just want the meal program with one or two prepared meals a day and a little housekeeping or laundry help-or for those who might need more assistance, and the facility works with private pay, insurance, and veteran's benefits to cover the costs, which do change depending on the level of care required. Northridge Pines allows smoking and has amenities including a beauty salon, an enclosed courtyard, and pleasant indoor spaces that make it easier to spend time together, which can really help people feel like part of a community, and it even welcomes pets like cats and dogs, so residents don't have to give up their animal companions if they move in. Residents join in a mix of activities, both on-site and off-site trips or field trips, as well as social events and devotional programs that support friendships and meet spiritual needs, with everyday life including supportive services like healthcare, laundry, housekeeping, and meals so folks can focus on the things they enjoy, whether that's a quiet day or getting involved in group exercises or planned outings to see the area. For families, the community keeps the decision-making process clear and tries to make this big step as comfortable as it can be, aiming all the while to support everyone's health and well-being.
