Canal View - Houghton County

Canal View - Houghton County sits at 1100 Quincy Street in Hancock, Michigan, serving seniors from Houghton and Keweenaw Counties with 197 skilled nursing beds and a wide mix of care options, and people can schedule tours to see the place, meet the staff, and talk with residents, which can help families decide if it's right. The community provides long-term care, assisted living, respite care, memory care in the Woodland Haven homes, independent living, and home care, and they've made it easy to learn about admissions and even put together waiting list information, so everyone knows what to expect. Two 14-bed homes are set up for Alzheimer's and dementia care, with separate kitchens, living rooms, and outdoor courtyards to help residents feel at home and safe, especially those in early to middle stages. Skilled nursing, rehab, and post-hospital services are all available, as well as hospice care for those who need it, and the care team includes a CEO/Administrator, a Director of Nursing, a Medical Director, and more, all focused on maintaining high standards of care with a person-centered and compassionate approach. Meal times happen in The Towers dining room, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner with several menu choices, and residents can enjoy daily activities such as trivia on the patio, board games, exercise, snacks, and sitcoms, plus the fully air-conditioned and recently renovated building adds to comfort, whether you're in a semi-private or private room. There's a chapel for interfaith services, family rooms, patios, and a monthly resident council so everyone gets a chance to be heard. The place is certified to provide both Medicare and Medicaid services and is part of the Michigan County Medical Care Facilities Council, keeping up with state and national standards and even receiving awards for quality care. Portals exist for board and committees, including resources for assisted living and regulatory needs, along with education programs and special support for administrators. They offer adult foster care, medication management, and support for residents needing extra help, emphasizing personal and dignified care, especially important during tough times like the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal stays clear: provide a nurturing, home-like atmosphere where residents can keep their dignity, take part in stimulating daily life, and feel respected, with 24-hour extended care always there when it's needed. Family and friends are welcome, and there's an effort to encourage enriching visits, with lots of support from social services and dedicated staff, so residents can feel connected to their loved ones and the community, all in one place.
