Frontida Assisted Living of Manitowoc sits on the edge of town, surrounded by farmland, and has been offering care since 2009 in Southeast Wisconsin, but started serving Manitowoc in July 2022, and the facility uses terms like "assisted living" and "care services" to describe what they do, which is provide help for seniors 55 and older, especially those needing extra support because of dementia, Alzheimer's, or frailty, and folks will find both assisted living and memory care called Tender Reflections, which is in a separate, purpose-built home called Frontida Memory Care of Manitowoc, with a secure setting designed for people with memory loss to feel cozy and safe, and residents have their own private or semi-private suites that can be fully furnished, semi-furnished, or left for families to bring their own things. There's a focus on personalized care plans that fit each individual, with services like help with bathing, dressing, medication, and behavioral health support, and meals are prepared from scratch by a caring team, served in a dining area where folks can enjoy home-cooked food with an eye toward health and taste. The facility encourages happiness, fun, and laughter every day, and staff put together a wide range of programs that keep people active and mentally sharp, with choices for recreational, educational, and social activities to help residents feel a sense of belonging, and there's both indoor and outdoor common space for relaxing or gathering with friends. Frontida Assisted Living has an experienced team led by Founder and CEO Crystal J. Miller, COO Keun Lee, and Senior Vice President Jamie Mahoney, and everyone works to foster trust, compassion, connection, and dignity for each resident, with 24-hour supervision and a promise to help people age in place by adjusting care as needs change, and the approach leans on four pillars: Compassionate Care, Personalized Support, People First, and Trusted Excellence. Residents can use onsite and offsite devotional services, and a beautician is available for grooming, plus folks with memory loss get extra attention with secure spaces to reduce confusion and activities to match their abilities, and daily life includes friendly assistance, nutritious meals, socialization, and a structure that aims to be both safe and comforting, so the community is set up for people to live with a sense of worth and to form friendships with others in a similar stage of life, all while backed by a staff that values trust, integrity, and making the days enjoyable.

- Memory care
Welcoming facility with staffing concerns
I toured and now have a loved one here - overall it's a bright, clean, welcoming place with large rooms, private baths, a sunny common area and patio, lots of music/activities, and many genuinely caring, friendly staff who go above and beyond. Since a recent management change I've seen positive improvements: a responsive director, new dining and life-enrichment programs, and attentive, comforting care - my family has felt safe and my dad is thriving in memory care. That said, there are real issues to watch: staff turnover/instability, occasional rude caregivers who talk or curse in front of residents, missed or delayed meds and care-plan paperwork problems, and inconsistent communication - we've had wasted respite funds and extra costs that felt unjustified. I would recommend this facility for its warmth, safety, and engaging atmosphere, but advise families to monitor medication, staffing, and communication closely.
