Perhaps you once dared to dream about a carefree life. Now you can live that dream at Brookdale Mankato, an assisted living retirement community in a beautiful tree-filled residential neighborhood across the street from Lake Dorothy and a stone s throw from River Hills Mall. We re here to help with personal needs such as bathing, dressing or medication management so you can spend the rest of the day doing what you want, without a care in the world.
Our community offers an engaging social life that will pull you away from the TV and into card and board games, happy hour socials, fitness classes, art and other creative projects, lively meals, fun outings and anything else that you want to do. And you have peace of mind knowing that our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. Now, there s your carefree life.
You can be as active as much or as little you choose. Our constantly changing calendar is packed with activities, so you re sure to find classes, games and outings that attract you. One day it might be painting or flower arranging. Next time it might be happy hour socials, manicures, a cookout or a movie. Enjoy a friendly game of bingo or poker, try chair yoga or listen to live music. Get into shape with our B-Fit exercise program that helps improve coordination, flexibility, core strength, cardio and relaxation and breathing. Want to give your brain a workout? We can help with that, too.
You ll quickly warm to the friendly environment where a fireside living room, an inviting dining room and other cozy, home-like common areas naturally draw people together. They re perfect spots to visit with friends and neighbors over coffee or tea or settle in with your knitting or crocheting. Step outside for a breath of fresh air and to enjoy the large patio with its lovely greenery and comfortable seating.
Moving into a new home can be challenging, and we re here to help. You can choose your apartment either a suite or slightly roomier deluxe suite based on your needs. All have kitchenettes, spacious closets and large windows to let in abundant natural light. Bring your own furniture, photos and cherished keepsakes to furnish and decorate your apartment in your own unique, unmistakable style and soon it will become home sweet home. We know that pets are important family members, so if you have a four-legged friend, bring it along. We re very pet friendly!
We take frequent group excursions for local shopping, dining, attending events or just for the sake of seeing new scenery. Your senior years should be your carefree, active years and Brookdale Mankato is here to help that happen.
We believe that dining well is part of living well. Our chefs prepare flavorful, refined meals such as braised pork chop with gravy, seasoned baked sole with lemon and chicken marsala. Meals are served restaurant-style so you can order what you want and enjoy conversation with others at your table.
You ll live a full, free life on your own, just with a little help, when you need it, from our caring staff. With Brookdale Mankato s years of experience in assisted living, we understand the right balance of care to help you feel supported and cared for, while also retaining your independence and freedom. We re here to assist with daily personal needs, such as bathing, dressing and medication management, so you have the confidence and assurance to make the most of your day.
We ll work carefully with you to create an individualized care plan that focuses on exactly what you need and what you don t. We ll never compromise your independence, and you ll always receive gentle assistance with respect for your dignity.
