Portagepointe

PortagePointe is a long-term care nursing facility in Hancock, Michigan, with 60 beds serving the senior community. The facility is a certified Eden Alternative home and operates under a 24/7 care model provided by highly-trained staff, regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).

The community's care philosophy is rooted in the Eden Alternative model, which emphasizes an elder-centered approach focused on alleviating loneliness, helplessness, and boredom. PortagePointe is the only registered Eden home in the four-county area and is built on the core belief that aging should be a continued stage of development and growth rather than a period of decline.

Residents have access to a range of amenities and services designed to support their well-being. The facility features an onsite salon providing salon services one day per week, and staff are encouraged to walk with residents and participate in activities alongside them. Monthly activities are thoughtfully planned to engage residents and help improve their quality of life, offering opportunities to explore new interests and connect with staff and neighbors.
