Lakeside Manor/Lincoln Center sits on the edge of scenic Longyear Lake at 100 N. Central Ave in Chisholm, MN, and offers a peaceful spot for seniors and people with disabilities to live. The five-story high-rise has a quiet and friendly feeling with nice views of the lake, lovely outdoor patios, and easy paths for walks. The building uses controlled entry and has an elevator, and every unit has emergency pull cords in the bedrooms and bathrooms for safety, so residents can feel secure. There are one-bedroom floor plans, the standard one at 601 square feet and a larger 626 square foot unit, and all apartments are designed for easy living with senior-friendly bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and big windows-some units are ground floor and have private entrances. The facility allows pets, including cats and dogs, and has both covered and off-street parking that makes things easier for visitors.
Seniors who want to be independent might like these maintenance-free apartments, and there's laundry right on site. There's also support for low-income seniors through Section 8 housing, with rent based on income, and a short waitlist means the community is currently accepting applications if someone qualifies by age or disability. Residents can choose from several care options, such as independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer's and memory care, nursing home services, and even home care for those who want to stay in their own apartment but need some help from aides. For those needing more help, nursing home staff give both short-term and long-term care for health issues requiring 24-hour attention, and there's support for daily activities like bathing and taking medicine.
The facility's memory care section is designed to help people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, with secure features to prevent wandering, specially trained staff, and activities that help reduce confusion. There are clubs, a TV lounge, a computer and media room, a large community room with a full kitchen, social dining spaces, a BBQ area, and regular events like bingo, monthly meals, donuts, and neighborly chats out on the patio. Meals on Wheels delivers five days a week, and extra health services like monthly blood pressure and foot care help residents keep an eye on their health. Seniors can enjoy organized social and educational activities, group dining, book rentals, and free internet, and the facility sits on a convenient bus line for trips to local shops, Hibbing, or the park. Some apartments permit indoor and outdoor smoking, which is unusual these days, but some folks appreciate that. There's always someone on site with 24-hour emergency maintenance, and the on-site management office handles building questions, so residents and families don't have to worry if things come up. Lakeside Manor/Lincoln Center tries to offer an easy, affordable, and friendly place to live with choices for all sorts of needs, and scenic views when you look outside.
