Overview of New Day Manitowoc

New Day Manitowoc is a licensed assisted living and memory care community administered by New Day Manitowoc LLC in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, specializing in care for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Licensed since November 2017, the community has been providing care in Manitowoc County with 44 licensed beds.

This record is significantly below Wisconsin’s 12-deficiency average, reflecting a consistent compliance record for a community of its size.

The community’s amenity profile mirrors the amenities of its sister community in Germantown, including round-the-clock staffing and a secured building with delayed egress doors.

Private and semi-private rooms, an on-site beauty salon, and an enclosed outdoor patio are among the lifestyle amenities available.

Specializing in care for those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, New Day Manitowoc’s secure and structured care setting, as well as specially trained staffing, is an ideal option.
