Country Manor Health & Rehab Center sits at 520 1st St NE in Sartell, MN, and cares for about 500 residents and patients each day, along with 130 students, and there are typically almost 650 staff members and families supporting the community as well. Folks come and go daily, including retail visitors and family and friends seeing their loved ones, and you'll find beautifully groomed grounds with lots of places to gather, along with indoor walkways connecting the campus to the Sartell communities which is handy both in summer and winter. The Center has many different levels of care, with not only skilled nursing and rehabilitation but also long-term care, assisted living, memory care, and home health care, making it easier for people to move between needs over time without having to move off campus, which a lot of folks appreciate as they age. Amenities are plentiful, and you'll see things like Drakes Fine Food & Spirits, a country store and pharmacy, Cold Spring Bakery and St. Joe Meat Market outlets, a chapel, a salon and spa, a clinic, a childcare center called Kids Country, and on-site pharmacies and clinics, so you don't have to leave campus for much if you don't want to. The place is recognized for its staff's focus on compassion and what they call a "Hometown Culture," which many local families see as comforting.
The center's Champion Rehab clinic and Rapid Recovery & Aquatic Center handle everything from physical, occupational, and speech therapy to massage and aquatic therapy-some folks are there for short-term recovery after surgery with therapies like balance or neurological rehab and some rely on those services over the long haul, and the gyms have specialized equipment like the HydroWorx therapy pool and high-tech devices for advanced therapy, which sounds complicated but it's all about helping people get stronger or manage pain right on campus. People with memory care needs or in end-of-life stages can find specialized programs in places called Memory Care neighborhoods or Angel Arms, and there are social services, spiritual care, and daily activities. Skilled licensed nurses are present around the clock in long-term care, and the campus has on-site doctors and nurse practitioners five days a week, with pharmacists there six days each week, and there's always help available with things like medication or nutrition.
Country Manor also offers services and programs like specialized transportation for residents and visitors, CNA training courses, and volunteer opportunities, plus there's a strong focus on both security and comfort with private rooms, social calendars, themed events, pet visits, and intergenerational activities like music or crafts. The place also hosts four unique senior housing communities with different styles, prices and floor plans, aiming to fit different budgets and needs, and the on-site store carries groceries, toiletries, coffee, ice cream, pharmacy services, and more, which most families appreciate for convenience. The Center has a 5-star CMS rating and has been named Best Home Health Care Agency in Central MN for several years, and it's been around for more than 50 years, so a lot of experience backs up the care here. New patients aren't being accepted at this time, but the facility updates its information monthly to keep community members in the loop. People can pick personalized care plans, and the staff work hard to guide each resident through different stages while doing their best to make them feel special in a way that's down to earth and comfortable, not showy or overdone.
