Pathstone Living in Mankato, MN offers licensed nursing-home care designed for older adults who need ongoing clinical oversight. Skilled nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, wound care, and other complex health needs. The community also provides respite stays, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring their loved ones receive the same level of professional attention and rehabilitation services that long-term residents receive.
Additional safeguards reinforce resident well-being. Every room is connected to an emergency call system that brings staff assistance quickly if a resident signals a concern. Certified nursing assistants are available at all times to help with bathing, dressing, and mobility, while registered nurses coordinate care plans with physicians, therapists, and families to make sure treatments stay on track.
Residents can choose from several apartment layouts, each designed for senior accessibility. Depending on the unit, features may include in-room Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, custom window treatments, and regular housekeeping. Common areas such as a library and computer lounge, landscaped outdoor spaces, and an on-site café give residents additional spots to read, connect online, or meet friends, but not every accommodation includes every feature listed.
Dining follows a set schedule of chef-prepared meals served three times daily, with staff available to assist anyone who needs help eating or following a specialized diet. Between meals, residents can pick up healthy snacks that meet dietary guidelines arranged by the facility’s nutrition team, ensuring steady caloric intake and balanced nutrition throughout the day.
To support social engagement and overall wellness, Pathstone Living maintains an activity center where exercise classes, hobby workshops, and educational talks take place. Organized clubs and interest-based communities give residents structured opportunities to form friendships, while targeted health and wellness programs encourage regular movement, cognitive stimulation, and preventive care.
