Nyumbani Adult Foster Care

Nyumbani Adult Foster Care sits at 5455 Lucerne Avenue in Kalamazoo, MI, and welcomes older adults as well as those with developmental disabilities and mental illnesses, offering both short-term respite care and a stable, long-term home in a small group setting with room for up to six residents, though its official license notes a capacity for four. The community provides round-the-clock support from trained caregivers who help with bathing, dressing, medication, meals-including diabetic and allergy-friendly options-and personal care, and staff speak English. Residents get specialized care if they have dementia or cognitive impairments, and the team knows how to help folks with mental illnesses or developmental disabilities in a way that honors their dignity and offers choices. The facility includes walking paths, gardens, movie nights, a library, group activities, and community events, with a daily schedule that encourages both social time and mental stimulation, and there are fully furnished rooms with cable, Wi-Fi, private telephones, emergency call systems, and spaces for quiet or gathering. Meals are served in a dining room with diets tailored by need or doctor's order, and staff arrange transportation to medical appointments or nearby parks, shops, and churches when needed. The team manages medications, coordinates with healthcare providers, and offers support for transfers, always keeping safety in mind, and there's housekeeping, linen service, and laundry so residents don't have to worry about chores. Nyumbani Adult Foster Care, operated by Esther Mulili and Emmanuel Mulili under Nyumbani AFC II LLC, stays committed to providing help for people who may also need extra mental health services or support with developmental challenges, and their staff work on continuous improvement, team accountability, and delivering care with compassion so everyone living there can feel like they belong and have the right support to live as independently as possible, whether in the home or while using their programs for those who need some help in their own apartments. The site is fully licensed for adult foster care through May 2026 with license number AS130405458 and has a 3.8 rating from Seniorly, reflecting its solid, down-to-earth care.
