Northland Lodge Assisted Living sits at 1515 Memorial Drive in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, right on the shores of Lake Michigan, and inside, people will find a historic building that used to be the Two Rivers Community Hospital back when it was built in 1927, which now serves seniors from all walks of life including veterans and nurses. Folks there can pick from studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom private apartments, many with balconies and washer/dryer units, and some apartments even have kitchenettes for those who want them. The place covers lots of daily needs with weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen service, maintenance, and package delivery, and if a person needs some help getting around or heading out to doctors' appointments, there's dedicated staff and courtesy van transportation ready to assist, which is handy especially for those in assisted living or memory care.
Residents here can join in on many activities like Wii-bowling, bingo, exercise classes, local outings, movie nights at the in-house theater, or just unwind in the gardens, chapel, or the activity room, and there's always something going on with a pub and coffeehouse, a hair salon, workout space, walking trails, and even community-sponsored day trips. This community brings together people who want to live independently but enjoy the comforts of a safe setting, as well as those needing some extra help with things like medication, personal care, or memory care, and they tailor assistance to fit each person's needs, from independent living all the way to round-the-clock professional help for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia. Meals are a big part of life there, with chefs preparing organic food and offering restaurant-style dining, a continental breakfast, and even room service if someone wants to eat in their own place instead of the dining room.
The place is pet-friendly and carries a warm, cozy feeling, with emergency call systems and safe, wide spaces made to help people with mobility issues get around more easily. Internet, cable TV, Wi-Fi, central air, private mailboxes, and storage units add comfort and convenience, and there are safety extras like emergency call pendants for peace of mind. People who like to stay busy or want to keep active can join fitness and wellness programs, on-site physical therapy, community events, cultural activities, or use the library to relax with a good book. Everyone gets the benefit of a welcoming environment where caregivers aim to build trust, provide support, and treat residents like family. Northland Lodge is open every day, all year long, has three tiers of care for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and works hard to stay connected to the community's long history, offering a sense of safety and belonging while meeting just about any need a senior might have.
