About

Small, hometown, personal care is what you can expect from the dedicated professionals at Manly Specialty Care. Located in the central northern Iowa, Circle Terrace Lodge, an assisted living apartment complex is right next door.

With daily visits from physical, occupational and speech therapists, each of our residents has their own customized care plan to help them regain and maintain strength, flexibility and mobility. Our nursing professionals and staff join the team to help improve outcomes and set additional goals to either return home following hospitalization and recovery, or stay with us as independently as possible.  We also are equipped to provide services on an outpatient basis.

A designated wing of our facility is dedicated to memory care residents who suffer from the effects of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Our caregivers are provided additional education on working with these special residents.  We provide a secured environment with specialized activities and routines geared to stimulate but not overwhelm.

While our residents have plenty of personal private space, they have plenty of options for socializing in the common areas playing cards, watching movies, holding small group discussions, Bingo or our afternoon coffee klatch. Small group activities get everyone involved at their own level of ability whether it be stirring or kneading the dough for weekly bread baking or just receiving a manicure and massage. Weekly visits with a music therapist and Bingo are a few favorites.

“We have a lot of volunteers from the community…groups that come in to lead activities or give presentations,” says Administrator Kimber Kleven. “And since we are a bit smaller, it is very homelike and we have a lot of experienced staff lending to real relationships and continuity of care.”

Please, next time you are in town, stop by and visit us.
