Espanola House, Adult Foster Care Home, sits in a quiet area near Borgess Hospital and downtown Kalamazoo, with Kindleberger Park just a short drive away, and it offers care for up to six residents in a family-style home that feels comfortable and welcoming, especially for those who like a quieter setting or need extra help during their day. The home's newly remodeled and has six private bedrooms, each with a smart TV and Netflix for residents who want some privacy or enjoy movies and shows, along with two large living rooms for relaxing or visiting with others. The house is set up for different levels of care-some people might only need a little help each day, while others could need full help with getting dressed, bathing, and moving around, and that's all right here.
There are four full bathrooms and one half bathroom so nobody waits long, and all areas are wheelchair accessible, even the private deck outside, where residents can watch birds, sit in the garden, or help with raised flower and vegetable beds. Fire and smoke warning systems and alarmed doors help keep everyone safe, which gives families peace of mind. Residents can enjoy Wi-Fi, computer stations, and open reading spots, and if they want to be social, there's always something happening, like bingo, card games, puzzles, music, art, and spa days, with park visits and cookouts when the weather's nice.
Meals are fresh and served in the big eat-in kitchen, and the menu covers special diets if needed, plus the home likes to add a bit of fun with themed nights for foods from Italy, Mexico, Germany, England, or Jamaica. People can join group activities like yoga or stretching, based on plans from physical therapists, or just relax as they like. Families can gather in private rooms for special visits, which helps keep loved ones close without a crowd. Staff focus on supporting dignity and respect, helping each resident feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, without losing their sense of self, and everyone has the option to join in with group events or just enjoy quiet time in their own room. The home's caring approach helps people feel at ease, and the small size means support is personal and not overwhelming. The house keeps a simple, steady routine that helps residents feel settled, no matter how much help they need.
