Hillman's Haven sits at 200 Elizabeth St, Hillman, Michigan, as a single-story, barrier-free adult large group home with room for up to 20 people 60 years or older or otherwise compatible, and it's been around since 2004 when Charles and Carol Otto built it, making sure the rooms are easy to get to with no steps and all the showers are wheelchair accessible, and licensed as an Adult Foster Care Facility, license AL600269136, effective until September 2025. The place has 20 private apartments, each with a kitchenette, refrigerator, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, phone jacks, and emergency call lights, and you'll find common areas inside and outside, plus garden paths, an arts room, and a great room with Dish Network. Folks get three balanced meals every day, with special diets if a doctor says so, and snacks when asked, and there's meal service all day, so nobody has to worry about missing breakfast or lunch, and there's even help for those with strict dietary needs or who just want something simple, plus linen, towel, and laundry service so clothes and bedding stay fresh, along with weekly housekeeping for every room.
The staff at Hillman's Haven work all day and night and they know CPR and first aid, so there's always someone to help with daily things like dressing, bathing, moving around, medications, and reminders, and if someone needs more help, like support with memory problems, dementia, or mild cognitive loss, the team is trained for that, and they watch over everyone with video security, even though the system sometimes has access trouble, but if there's ever a health emergency, they call EMS and send the resident to the hospital. There are special programs for those who need skilled nursing, assisted living, adult daycare, memory care, home care, respite, or hospice care, and some folks get visits from nurses, physical therapy, occupational or speech therapy right there, and they make sure every resident's medicines are managed and health is checked.
The building lets folks gather with friends in the lounge, walk outside in the garden with no steps to trip over, or join scheduled activities, like arts and crafts or movie nights, and transportation goes to town or out-of-town spots for appointments, though sometimes for an extra fee, and there's a house phone plus resident parking for visitors or those who drive. Devotional services and both onsite and offsite activities help everyone stay connected, and the beauty/barber shop is open weekly if someone wants a haircut, with a beautician visiting for a small charge, and you get clean sheets or personal laundry handled as part of the regular routine.
Hillman's Haven focuses on both men and women, aiming for a safe, friendly, and active place where everyone gets help with their daily life, and the setup lets people keep their independence while getting care, including emergency call systems in each apartment so staff know right away if someone needs help, and family and friends can visit easily. The management by Hillman's Haven LLC keeps to State of Michigan rules, with their license active and the place in good standing, and everyone is supposed to get a fair chance at living better, eating well, and having professional staff ready to step in when needed, whether it's for companionship, medical monitoring, reminders, or hands-on help, and the goal always stays the same, to give residents a good place to live that feels more like home than a hospital, with features that make life easier as folks age.
