Autumn Grace III sits at 108 Raven Court in Mankato, MN, and is a smaller senior living place that takes up to four residents at a time, providing both assisted living and memory care for elderly adults, and the licensed number is 25966. The community's been set up to help seniors live as independently as possible while keeping them safe and looked after, and folks there get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and even moving in if needed, and the staff is always around, both day and night, to make sure everyone's cared for properly, and they work with outside healthcare providers to manage medical needs, diabetic diets, and any special food requests.
Within the facility, residents will find furnished rooms, both single and shared, along with studio apartments, and each place comes with phone and internet, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi, with clean laundry handled by staff, housekeeping to keep everything tidy, and trash service, plus there's always a pet or two around since it's pet-friendly, and there's no smoking in the shared spaces, which families might appreciate. Special features include safety and accessibility options such as handrails, emergency call systems in rooms, 24/7 secured premises, in-room emergency response, and staff on hand to or help with showers, transfers, and getting dressed.
To keep folks active and connected, Autumn Grace III has a garden, walking trails, a library, social and educational activities, a games room, a big screen TV, arts and crafts, and even organized movie nights in a community area, with daily activities scheduled to encourage socializing or just add some fun, and there are amenities like a hair salon and even massage services. Meal times happen in a warm dining room each day, and all-day dining's available for those who get hungry at odd hours, and every meal can be adjusted for allergies, diabetes, and other dietary needs. Transportation's provided for getting to doctor visits and other appointments, with modified vehicles for wheelchairs and accessible parking for family members, and there's also support for moving into the facility.
The place offers special attention for folks with dementia, Alzheimer's, and memory impairments, providing tailored activities and supports meant to help with both the cognitive and physical parts of staying well, along with adult rehabilitative mental health services, home health care, hospice and palliative care, and crisis support such as respite care, housing stabilization, and even substance use disorder treatment, which is a level of support not every place provides. Kids' programs, foster care, mental health clinics, and disability services like environmental modifications and accessible housing options tie into the wider Autumn Grace Foster Care network, with oversight from local government bodies like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services, although the facility doesn't take Medicare and isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Several housing choices exist, including apartments and shared living for those with disabilities, and Autumn Grace III can customize care to suit what each resident needs-whether that's daily hands-on help or just a safe, comfortable place with activities, and since it's a home with housing services licensed in Mankato, the costs for long-term care here often run lower than a full nursing home would. It serves as both a supportive community for seniors and a peace-of-mind resource for families, offering employment for CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, RNs, and trained caregivers who want to work in a homelike, small-scale place where people are known by name, and where every day's about living with dignity, connection, and as much independence as possible.
