The Lodge at Manito offers an assisted-living program designed for residents who need regular help with daily activities while still valuing personal independence. Clinical oversight includes diabetes management, with staff monitoring blood glucose levels, coordinating medication schedules, and working with outside providers to adjust care plans as needed. On-site nursing professionals are available to respond to changes in condition and to coordinate with physicians, pharmacies, and therapy providers.
Care delivery takes place in a secured community. Entry points are monitored, and the building layout is designed to limit wandering and support resident safety. Team members receive training in emergency procedures and in the specific needs of older adults living with chronic conditions such as diabetes. Regular wellness checks, 24-hour staffing, and an electronic alert system add layers of protection and rapid response capability.
Residences vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but options may include pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, individual climate control, and access to outdoor areas or parking. Some apartments are located near a central fireplace lounge that serves as a common gathering place, while others are closer to garden paths for easy outdoor access.
Daily meals are provided, and guest meals are available for visiting family or friends. The kitchen offers standard menus alongside gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar selections to support medical diets, including those required for diabetes management. Residents can choose from scheduled dining times or all-day dining for greater flexibility.
The community features a library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use, an activity center for clubs and group programs, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths to encourage movement in any weather. Social outings, live music events, reminiscence and sensory-based programs, intergenerational visits, and a swimming pool provide additional engagement. Outdoor areas are open to residents who wish to spend time outside, and staff organize clubs and community events to sustain an active lifestyle.
