The Felician Village Board of Directors approved plans for a new 20-bed assisted living unit, The Commons at Felician Village in Manitowoc.
The Commons at Felician Village will be a state-licensed Community-Based Residential Facility and will be developed through the transformation of the organization’s former Next Step Rehabilitation unit. This shift reflects growing demand for high-quality assisted living services and the continued evolution of senior care, where more individuals are seeking supportive, residential-style environments rather than traditional skilled nursing care.
As part of the renovation, a movie theater and art studio will be constructed in current office space in the Village Square. These amenities will be available to all Felician Village residents.
“The decision to move forward with The Commons represents an important step in aligning our life plan campus with the needs of today’s aging adults,” said Luke Schubert, President/CEO. “We are seeing a clear progression in how care is delivered, with greater emphasis on assisted living options that promote independence and quality of life.”
Felician Village will continue to offer short-term rehabilitation services within St. Mary’s Nursing Home.
The Commons at Felician Village is tentatively scheduled to open in fall 2026.
