Laurel Grove Assisted Living Center I

Laurel Grove Assisted Living Center I sits at 1308 S 22nd Street in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and offers different types of care for older adults, including assisted living, memory care, and hospice. Staff stay on duty around-the-clock to help with bathing, dressing, managing medicine, or getting from a bed to a wheelchair, and the facility takes pride in helping those who need support with things like showering, bathroom use, and monitoring health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as making diet changes needed for things like diabetes or hypertension. The center will arrange transportation to doctor appointments, shops, errands, and religious services, and it welcomes residents' pets. Daily programs, games, movie nights, music activities, fitness schedules, art, and social events go on throughout the week, and there's effort to keep everyone busy and comfortable. There are game rooms, indoor spaces to relax, a library for reading, community rooms, a fitness room, and activity rooms. Laurel Grove's rooms are fully furnished, offering both private and semi-private options with private bathrooms, plus comforts like kitchenettes, cable TV, and air conditioning. The grounds offer garden areas, walking paths, and places to sit outside, while inside there's a beauty shop, spa with sauna and jacuzzi, and a wellness room. Meals are home-cooked each day by a professional chef, with attention to different dietary needs, and the center does all the meal prep, serving, and cleanup, as well as laundry and housekeeping. The facility has locked doors and alarm systems for safety, especially for those who might wander due to memory loss, and specialized staff help those with Alzheimer's or dementia. The Sunrise Transitional & Rehabilitation Care Unit helps with therapies for those recovering from orthopedic injuries or needing physical help, and there's access to nursing care, pharmacy, and managed medical supplies. Community activities include devotional services, music therapy, and pet therapy, with opportunities for residents to get involved in planning or running activities themselves. The building can accommodate up to 52 residents and supports both those who are very independent and those who need a lot of daily support. Medicaid is accepted, and the atmosphere aims to be home-like and welcoming, especially for those with memory care needs. The staff work to coordinate healthcare and make daily life as comfortable and safe as possible, and the community tries to provide a calm, homey place for older adults to call home without feeling crowded or overlooked.
