High Street Assist Living sits at 606 East High Street in Ishpeming, MI, where the staff help older adults who want support with daily living or memory care, and this place keeps to a smaller size with only four assisted living units within a licensed adult family home serving up to six residents. The caregivers at High Street Assist Living have special training for Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's care, and they give round-the-clock help with things like bathing, getting dressed, medication reminders, feeding by spoon if needed, and handling incontinence, while a registered nurse sets up individual care plans and does monthly health checks. Residents can choose a private or shared suite with air conditioning, generous closet space, and ADA-compliant bathrooms, along with simple layouts that cover both small studios and one-bedroom options, and you'll find cable TV, emergency pendants, in-room washer and dryers, kitchenettes, and emergency alert pull cords within reach.
The meals, which come three times a day plus snacks, fit different diets like diabetes or allergy needs, and a dietitian supervises them, with extra treats set aside for birthdays and holidays, and folks can eat together in a big dining area or cook up something themselves using the community kitchen. The staff do all the laundry, linen, maintenance, and housekeeping, so everyday chores are out of the way, and utilities are included except for phones. Transportation helps residents get to appointments or go on trips, and the community holds activities every day like games, movies in the theater room, creative arts and crafts, library time, fitness and walking programs, and planned celebrations, and they even let residents have dogs and cats. For those needing help with movement, speech, or daily skills, the community offers therapy and wellness programs, preventative health screenings, and standby help always nearby, with safety set as a priority by having secured units, fences, and 24/7 security inside and out.
The grounds have landscaped gardens, outdoor porches, walking paths, and spaces to relax or visit with family, and the entertainment area gives room to socialize along with a hair salon, a wellness center, and internet and telephone service. Every apartment comes furnished, and the staff do regular checks to keep everything working and clean, plus memory care services offer extra support for those dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's, and medication management gets coordinated closely with doctors and nurses who are always a call away. High Street Assist Living serves not only seniors in Marquette County but also folks with developmental or mental illnesses, and the care here tends to cost less than a full-time nursing home. The community's licensed and regulated by state and local agencies, specifically the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, and it's part of Mirador Living's senior living options, focused on making life easier, safer, and more comfortable while helping people keep as much independence as they can.
