Gabriel Home sits on Gabriel Street in Romulus, MI, on a 0.37-acre lot and offers what you'd call a real home-like setting, where people can get different kinds of care without feeling like they're in a big institution, and there's a focus on making things comfortable and simple. The place itself is a 1,600 square foot ranch-style, on-frame modular home built in 1979-one level, no stairs, so folks don't have to worry about steps, and the house got new paint, carpet, plumbing, and lighting fixtures in 2019, so it feels clean and fresh and doesn't have that old, run-down look. You'll see there's central air and heat with forced air and gas, ceiling fans, and the windows open up, so it doesn't get stuffy, and the plumbing is set up for things like wheelchair accessible showers and regular bathtubs, which helps people with different needs bathe safely.
Gabriel Home has three bedrooms, with a large main bedroom and both private and semi-private room choices, plus one full bath and a half bath, so there's space for residents who need quiet or privacy, and folks who like company. It's one big living space but divided into five rooms inside, and there's a kitchen with appliances like a dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, dryer, a gas oven, so meals can be made fresh, and there's internet and Wi-Fi for people who want to use computers or tablets. Heating and water come from natural gas, and everything's hooked up to city water and sewer, which keeps things simple. The house itself has vinyl siding and an asphalt shingle roof, and there's a deck, covered patio, and porch outside with fences all around, so people can spend time outdoors or work on a garden, and there's a landscaped yard and places to gather outside if folks want to.
For those worried about parking, there's a big detached garage that fits three or more cars and there's even space to park RVs, boats, or other vehicles, which is unusual for this kind of home, and a paved driveway and road make comings and goings easier, plus there's transportation for those who need rides to appointments or local spots, and parking for residents and guests. As for care, Gabriel Home operates as an adult foster care and board and care setting, which means they offer services for assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing, so people can move in with different levels of need, and the staff can handle higher acuity cases, diabetic needs, medication management, and incontinence care, and there are both staffing and extra health services for changing needs.
Residents can join in on-site activities including social events, arts and crafts, fitness classes, and go to off-site devotional services for their spiritual support, and the kitchen staff prepare vegetarian and kosher meals on request, so people can stick to what they like or need for their diets, and short-term respite stays are welcome for those who just need a break or temporary care. There are no pools or big fancy features, but the focus is making everyday life feel familiar and steady, which is important as people age. For folks looking into payment, Gabriel Home accepts various financing options like conventional, FHA, VA, or cash. The house sits close to local services, and the entry is ground level so everyone can come and go without trouble, and the whole set-up tries to remove the complications and make daily life less of a chore, focusing on what helps people stay comfortable and well-cared-for.
