Major Upgrade for Roseau Manor

LifeCare breaks ground on $16.5 million expansion and renovation

Roseau Manor, one of LifeCare’s two nursing home facilities, is now in the beginning phase of a major expansion and renovation project.

Construction crews officially broke ground on September 26 and will require approximately 2.5 years to complete the $16.5 million project. When it is finished in early 2026, this state-of-the-art senior care facility will be well positioned for years to come, says Shannon Carlson, Chief Operating Officer at LifeCare Medical Center. “We’ve been planning this project for three years, but it was delayed due to the pandemic,” Carlson says. “We’re excited to see construction and renovation have begun.” When finished, the facility will offer several new services and upgraded accommodations. “One of the biggest changes to Roseau Manor will be the addition of a secured dementia unit,” says Carlson. “The need for dementia care in our area is critical and we’ll now be able to offer this level of care at Roseau Manor.” Located at the far end of the manor’s north wing, the dementia care unit will offer eight private rooms for residents, a dedicated dining area, and nurses station, all in a calming and quieter environment.

The full upgrade, which encompasses the entire facility, includes an updated heating/cooling and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The renovated manor will feature a new main entrance with easier access as well as dedicated activity space, a new chapel, and larger dedicated space for resident exercises. The facility also will feature new furniture and additional windows to allow more daylight into the building. The renovated Roseau Manor will offer residents a more homelike atmosphere with private rooms, several of them with showers.

Other amenities include advanced wi-fi technology, a robust nurse call system, completely new environmental controls, and more activity space for residents, family, and employees. Carlson describes the overall interior design as sleek, clean, modern, and calming. “We’ve taken great care in coordinating the construction in such a way as to minimize noise and disruptions,” Carlson says. “The project will be constructed in multiple phases so no residents will need to relocate.”
