French Manor Senior Living sits across from the Munson ER on 7th Street and offers seniors a calm place with all sorts of care, whether someone's looking for independent living, assisted living, memory care, or nursing home services. The staff stays around 24/7, ready to help with anything from medication reminders to bathing, dressing, transfers, and daily activities. There are respite options, home care services, and extended care, as well as special care for folks who need memory support and non-ambulatory care that really pays attention to each person's unique needs. French Manor's got six locations, like Yorkshire Manor, LaFranier, South, and Terra, and every spot tries to balance privacy with support from caring and trained staff.
French Manor has plenty of places for people to visit, like their dining room with restaurant-style meals, a private dining room for families to gather, and even guest meal options for when someone drops by. Nutritious, home-cooked meals are made every day with choices for allergies, diabetic diets, low sodium, and even all-day dining so nobody has to eat on a strict schedule. Staff offers help with errands, shopping, housecleaning, laundry, and dry cleaning, and there's an on-site salon and barber, so grooming is just a hallway away.
Folks can head outside to walk on garden paths or relax in the courtyard, visit with the cats and dogs that live there, or spend time in community rooms with a piano, TV lounge, or central fireplace. There's Wi-Fi, air conditioning, telephones in rooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, emergency alert systems, and even ground-floor, furnished suites with big closets and private baths.
French Manor tries to keep people's days interesting by offering activity programs led by a full-time director, with options like gentle yoga, birthday parties, live entertainment, bingo, music performances, field trips, and BBQs; arts and crafts take place in the arts room, while movie nights and group games happen in welcoming community spaces. They also offer outings and trips for those who want to get off-site a bit, and some activities are resident-run or sponsored by the greater Traverse City community. Ongoing programming and devotional services are part of the atmosphere, helping folks feel at home and stay connected.
Health care needs get met with personalized attention by a compassionate team, so every resident gets help that fits their comfort level and keeps them safe. Memory care and medication management are there when needed, and there's a 24-hour call system in case anything comes up. Move-in coordination helps smooth out the transition, and everyday life is supported as much or as little as a person needs.
French Manor Senior Living has an open and friendly setting. It's a place where people can have their own space, get a good meal, enjoy the company of neighbors, and live with peace of mind, knowing someone's always there if help's needed.
French Manor keeps a Facebook page where families and friends can see photos and updates about daily life, activities, and what's on offer. All these things help make French Manor one of those locally-owned options in Traverse City that's focused on keeping life both simple and full.
