Bishop Noa Home sits at 2916 3rd Avenue South in Escanaba, Michigan, and is a non-profit senior community with a strong religious focus, offering Catholic Mass of Christian Burial and other church services in its chapel, and it's connected to Skradski Family Funeral Homes, so families have support for funerals and visitations all in one place. The home holds up to 52 residents and has care options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, so it serves people who need just a little help as well as those needing medical care after illness or surgery, with room choices including studios and one-bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms, air conditioning, kitchenettes, cable TV, and high-speed internet.
A nurse or staff supervises residents around the clock, there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and nursing care runs 12 to 16 hours every day, covering everything from medication management, help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, to meal service, housekeeping, and laundry, so residents don't have to worry about daily chores or cooking, and there's transportation for doctor's appointments or errands too. The dining room offers restaurant-style meals and fits special diets like diabetes or allergies, and there's a chef for meal preparation, along with all-day dining so folks can eat when they're hungry.
Bishop Noa Home puts time into activities, like movie nights, music programs, daily games, library time, arts and crafts, fitness, and use of a garden and wellness room; residents can join group programs or do things on their own and can use family councils for support or feedback. The place has spaces like a parish hall for luncheons, outdoor walking paths, computer center, game room, beauty salon, and a chapel, plus they help with memorial donations if someone wants to give in memory of a resident, which can go toward parish projects or the home itself.
The community serves seniors with a range of needs, including those who are physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, mentally ill, or have suffered brain injury, and offers both semi-private and private suites, so people with different care needs and social preferences can find what works best for them. The state licenses Bishop Noa Home as a "Homes for the Aged - Exempt" facility, and it accepts Medicare and Medicaid, which helps with costs. Reports about health inspections and safety are available for those who want to look into it further. The staff works to keep people comfortable, offering help and security while letting folks take part in daily life and spiritual activities if they want.
