The Pillars of Mankato sits in a neighborhood with wide green spaces, filling a three-story building that covers about 145,000 square feet across nearly four acres and offering 118 apartments for seniors. The community provides several living options, including Senior Apartments, Assisted Living, and a dedicated Memory Care section, as well as choices like Care Suites, Dementia Care, and stay-by-the-day options, and there are apartments with dens, balconies, and private bathrooms, all with cable TV, air conditioning, furnished rooms, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi or high-speed internet. Many apartments also open to gathering spaces where folks can socialize, and outside, folks can use the rooftop patio, screened porch, and walking trails to enjoy the outdoors.
Staff at The Pillars of Mankato help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication management, incontinence care, and diabetic care, and provide care for non-ambulatory residents too, while nurses are present for 12-16 hours each day and a 24-hour call system ensures help is close at hand. For those living with dementia, the community offers a secured and supervised area with special programming, like music, singing, dancing, storytelling, and memory care therapies, and there are more than 50 activities for both Senior and Memory Care residents, including fitness programs, devotional activities, and resident-led initiatives. Folks will find a game room, library, salon, movie theater, chapel, fitness center, pub, community room, garden, and easy access for those with mobility needs.
The dining program provides chef-prepared, nutritious meals with dietary accommodations when needed, and housekeeping takes care of cleaning, while transportation is arranged for trips and appointments. Residents can get help with moving in, take part in community-sponsored activities, join outings for lifelong learning, and work with staff on health coordination. The business room stays available for those who need a quiet spot, and there are concierge services on hand. Safety is a priority, and the facility includes emergency alert systems throughout.
The community provides both independent and assisted living, memory care, enhanced care, transitional care, long-term care, adult day care, intergenerational childcare, and affordable housing for low-income seniors, making it easy for people to age in place with the care they need. The Pillars of Mankato belongs to The Pillars Senior Communities group and is part of Ebenezer, an organization that's focused on senior care since 1917, and the staff there is known for being friendly and committed to creating a welcoming place that's full of smiles and stays centered around the well-being of its residents. They offer several floor plans, including model apartments for folks to see, and the whole place is built to give support as needs change, helping everyone live a purposeful, healthy, and active life.
