Pilgrim manor sits on five scenic acres in a true country setting within the city, serving the Marshall County area for over 50 years with a welcoming, family-owned campus that's easy for family and friends to visit and close to both Centennial Park and Saint Joseph Hospital, which is handy if you need quick medical care. The recently remodeled building has 78 rooms, over half of them private suites with large showers, and all the gathering spaces, outdoor pavilions, shared suites, and modern kitchens make it feel both homelike and comfortable, with space for folks to rest or get together for activities. The staff, known for being friendly, helpful, and kind, have hundreds of years of combined experience, and they put a real focus on treating residents like family, offering skilled nursing care, assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, rehab for short-term stays, respite, hospice, independent living, and home care services-all with care plans tailored to each person's needs. Daycare services are available too, with scheduled activities, exercise, medication help, and both social and psychological engagement for those who spend days at Pilgrim manor and head home at night.
Residents can count on a range of therapy options-physical, occupational, speech, and individual therapies-to help regain independence, enjoy hobbies, or recover after an illness or hospital stay, and the nursing team keeps nurse staffing hours about 10% above average, which boosts attention and care. The facility's rehab program sees more residents return home compared to national averages by about 15%. Daily life includes nutritious hot meals made with quality ingredients, religious services, iPad activities, music therapy, community outings, and the popular Breakfast Club with visiting speakers, plus crafts, games, puzzles, and movies. Everybody gets privacy and dignity, with personalized care plans and options for payment including Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, Anthem, and United Health Care, and there's a solid admissions team to help families with the financial side. Amenities and safety features are built into the design, emphasizing a comfortable home-like feeling, with both private and shared suites, spacious rooms, modern bathrooms, and easy access to the outdoors. Pilgrim manor's caregiver team focuses on making a friendly, supportive atmosphere where meaningful relationships grow, and folks feel part of a community, which is reflected in awards for Best of Senior Living, Best Activities in Senior Living, and recognition for friendliness and engaging activities. Whether someone needs short-term rehab, long-term nursing, a break for a caregiver with respite care, specialized memory care, or just adult day services, Pilgrim manor works to provide support in an honest, caring way right in the heart of Marshall County.
