Our goal is to assist each Resident to maintain his or her highest level of health & functioning as long as possible, and to ensure they live their life to the fullest while on our campus!

Our Community

Marquette County was founded and developed because of its rich deposits of iron ore. Miners from around the world found their way here to make a better life for their families bringing ore up from the veins beneath. Michigamme, Ishpeming, Negaunee, Republic and Forsyth Township all have historical societies and museums that showcase the spirit of each area’s pioneers and their way of life.

Marquette County is home to arguably the best hiking, biking, kayaking and camping in the world.  Retirees have increasingly flocked to the area, realizing just what it means to live in “God’s Country.”

In the past several years, Marquette county has been awarded two major awards as one of the top ten finalists in the All American City competition and was named as one of the Most Livable Cities. Marquette county is located in the center of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which was recently named one of the top ten destinations in the world to visit, and is home to Northern Michigan University and one of two Olympic Training Centers in the United States.
