Nursing staff itself was good. Administration leaves a lot to be desired.....I mistakenly thought this being a Catholic supported facility there would be compassion, not extra ordinary compassion, just normal compassion. This is a business for them.. They know how to cover their "butts" Do not rely on them to help with your loved ones best interests. I, unfortunately learned this too late.

My mother was an 85 year old woman living independently at home until February 13, 2011, when the combination of dementia, smoking and drinking (because she did not know how much or how often she was smoking or drinking) caused her to fall and break her pelvic bone. This led to a combination of events which brought her to the Bishop Noa Home in Escanaba. Mom has been there now for one year and four months, and I could not be more pleased with the caring staff and facilities. Mom is able to roam freely with her walker and her health has greatly improved without the alcohol and smoking. The dementia does continue to worsen and the short term memory is all but gone, but she is familiar with the facilities enough that she is not so confused or "scared." There is also mass and activities every day, and the socialization has been wonderful for her as she had become very isolated living alone at home. Mom loves music and they have special music with the oldies from her era several times a week and she amazingly still remembers a lot of the old songs!!! Thank you, Bishop Noa Home, for removing the stress off of my heart and mind, and loving my mother in such a caring, nurturing manner! I could not be at more peace than I am right now considering her future care and needs. And thank you, Caring.com, for this opportunity to share my story. Connie Cousineau
