Teal Lake Senior Living Community sits perched on top of a bluff, offering wide views of Teal Lake in Negaunee, Michigan, and you'll find it tucked away in a quiet, wooded area near the shores of Lake Superior, but still close to Downtown Marquette and local landmarks, with the building covering 32,000 square feet and having 38 resident apartments that are all set up with kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV, and Wifi or high-speed internet service. Residents can bring their pets for a $150 fee, since Teal Lake allows pets and provides pet services, and there's also guest parking and overnight options for visitors, so family can come and enjoy the views and homemade meals, especially since dining rooms look right out over the lake. You'll see that the community encourages prospective residents and families to take tours to get a feel for daily life; the atmosphere is busy and social, with programs that keep people active-like arts and crafts, music, board games, hobbies, and regular group outings-which all help people find friends and have fun, and there are also gardens, walking paths, and hiking nearby for those who love the outdoors.
Teal Lake offers care options for Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living, and even Respite Care if someone only needs short-term help. Staff provide support with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, meal prep, taking medications, or housekeeping, and there's a part-time nurse, a team of personal care assistants, medication reminders, and special programs for residents with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia meant to keep folks secure and comfortable, with memory care services focused on reducing confusion and preventing wandering. There are facilities for wellness and fitness, religious services offered right at the community, and help available for laundry, linens, and daily apartment cleaning. The monthly rental fee covers many services and amenities, such as social and activity programs, general transportation for shopping and outings, utilities except for your own phone setup, and three nutritious meals each day, with snacks, and special diets handled if a doctor orders them.
Inside, residents can enjoy television and sitting rooms, private and communal dining rooms, activity spaces, therapy and beauty shops, and storage or administrative areas. There's Wi-Fi throughout the building, and both units and common areas have cable or satellite TV, making it easy to stay connected or relax with a favorite show. The community is handicap accessible and has plenty of parking, including for guests, so friends and family don't have to worry about visiting. Education and resources about assisted living are a focus, since Teal Lake runs things like the Certified Assisted Living Director (CALD) program and uses several committee and governance portals for staying up to date with the latest care rules, especially with their state license (AH520364507) ensuring safety and proper operations. An entry fee of $1,500 is required, and if needed, basic furniture can be provided for an extra cost. All in all, Teal Lake is a place meant for people who want social connections, scenic views, and help with daily living, where residents can enjoy a variety of activities, good food, and support that can be adjusted as their needs change over time.
