Traverse Manor sits in a peaceful country area near Traverse City, MI, and offers care and support for seniors who need help with daily living, skilled nursing, or memory care because of dementia, and the community's made up of assisted living apartments, memory care units, and independent living options, so there's something for folks at different stages of care and independence, and you'll find one-bedroom apartments that have full kitchens and private patios, as well as studio apartments with private baths and shared patios, and they keep things simple with all utilities included, free laundry, lawn maintenance, snow removal, and high-speed internet, plus basic cable and phone service. The meals here are home-cooked by chefs and meal planners aimed at keeping everyone healthy, with three served each day, snacks whenever you need them, and each month families get four free guest meals. There's a full-time registered nurse who makes sure residents get the right care, and staff stays on duty around the clock, with nurse call buttons and a modern communications system to keep people safe if they need help, and if someone needs medication help, they'll handle it.
Social activities happen often-residents can try physical and brain games, join group meetings and events, and spend time with others, because staying busy and connected seems to help people feel better here, and Traverse Manor's won awards for friendly staff and for the activities offered, and people often say the staff are kind, helpful, and treat everyone with respect. In terms of medical help, folks here can get seen by on-site physicians or nurse practitioners, and there are regular visits from dentists, podiatrists, audiologists, optometrists, and there's even pharmacy and hospice services available if needed, and skilled care like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy's also on hand.
For memory care, there's a special, secure area just for residents with dementia, where personalized attention supports safety and comfort, and the setting is meant to feel inviting and warm, with staff who focus on treating everyone like an individual with dignity. Families and friends can come visit and share a meal, and the grounds and buildings are easy to move through with pets or wheelchairs. There's also a program called In Touch Care that personalizes support to what each resident needs, aiming to foster as much independence as possible while providing any assistance required. Home care services are available too; aides offer help like companionship and non-medical support for seniors at home, which can provide peace of mind for those who want to stay in familiar surroundings.
Traverse Manor's open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, and staff are ready to answer questions or help people talk through living options, with a promise to treat all residents, families, and visitors with warmth and courtesy, so seniors can live comfortably and as independently as possible for as long as they're here.
