Manor Lake Assisted Living & Memory Care is Accepting New Residents. For many of our seniors Assisted Living or Memory Care at Manor Lake is currently the best option. Considering the enhanced safety measures that Manor Lake is taking, moving into a senior community may make more sense than living isolated alone at home and not getting adequate care.
Enhanced Safety Measures
- Restriction of non-essential visitors from entry in order to keep our residents safe.
- Screening daily staff and third party professionals.
- Staff are being instructed to stay home if they have symptoms of any type of illness.
- Enhanced cleaning procedures above and beyond our normal cleaning procedures.
- Manor Lake is doing daily screening of residents for any symptoms of coronavirus.
Our Main Priority is Your Health & Safety
Maintaining the health, wellness, and safety of our residents is our number one priority. Due to the COVID-19 situation, effective immediately we are restricting visitors to our community. This is in cooperation with federal mandates regarding this situation. Letters regarding specific details are being sent to the responsible parties for our residents to provide them with more detailed information. In addition to restricting visits, our staff will be screened prior to the starting of their shifts and have been trained on the symptoms of COVID-19 as well as infection prevention techniques. This is a fluid situation and we will keep you informed as the situation changes. We appreciate your cooperation and patience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
