Sunrise Cottage of Mankato

Just minutes from Minnesota State University-Mankato, Sunrise of Mankato is nestled in a residential community on the southeast side of Mankato. We pride ourselves in our ability to serve seniors with memory loss in a very home-like setting. Our staff and residents dine together family-style.

Sunrise is built on a commitment to our residents and their families. We believe no two people are alike, so the services and attention we provide should never be exactly the same. That’s also why we offer a variety of lifestyle, service and care options. By providing these choices, we not only offer solutions for today, but we provide the security of knowing that there are options for tomorrow.

Sunrise takes pride in offering the kind of service and environment that merits the praise and confidence of our residents and their families.    Constant communication with our residents and families in forums like our resident council, family meetings and customer satisfaction surveys help us to always improve.

We understand that each resident is an individual with unique needs and preferences.  That's why we meet with residents and family and conduct an assessment - prior to move-in and at regular intervals after move-in - to understand the need for assistance and support.

This assessment helps determine the appropriate care and service that preserve each resident's dignity, encourages independence and best enables freedom of choice.  The assessment results in determining a specific service level based on the amount of assistance provided.

Upon completion of the assessment, a team comprised of the Executive Director, Assisted Living or Reminiscence Coordinator, Health Care Coordinator, and our designated Care Manager prepares an individualized service plan that is monitored on a daily basis.

Because we know that quality of life depends on both environment and relationships, we focus on these two factors. We have determined that a carefully thought out physical environment and the culture within it would come from the people and relationships living and working in that setting.

At Sunrise, we recognize that diet is one of the most important aspects of a senior’s life. All of our communities serve three, delicious and well-balanced meals daily. Plus snacks are always available throughout the day.

 Because our activity programs are tailored to our residents, each community’s calendar will vary according to the individual preferences of the residents who live there.

Step into a Sunrise Assisted Living community and you can’t help but feel at home. We stop at nothing to make your experience warm and inviting, from our homelike exterior architecture, to our comfortable community areas and choice of suites to our exceptional outdoor gardens and landscaping. Look around and you’ll notice fresh flowers throughout the residence, and you may even spot our dog or our cat. And of course, there are always the friendly smiling faces of our staff to ensure that each day spent here is a welcome one.
