Assisted living and memory care
Senior living in Janesville, small by design
Oakwood Senior Living is assisted living and memory care on a quiet street in Janesville, between Mankato and Waseca. Every resident has a private room with a private bathroom, and the same familiar faces every day.
Private
Every resident has their own room and their own bathroom.
7 days
Something on the activity calendar every day of the week.
Three
Places to sit in the sun: a sunroom, a patio and an enclosed courtyard.
Welcome to Oakwood
A private room, a private bathroom, and people nearby
That is the whole idea. Your own door to close and your own bathroom, in a building small enough that you are never far from the dining room, the sunroom or a staff member who knows how you take your coffee.
- Private rooms with private bathrooms. Semi-private, studio and one-bedroom options too
- Bring your own furniture, some of it, or none. Rooms come furnished, partly furnished or unfurnished
- Meals cooked and served in the building
- A sunroom, an outdoor patio and an enclosed courtyard
- Help coordinating transportation, a weekly salon, and small pets welcome
- Weekly on-site visits from Mankato Clinic providers
Care
Two kinds of care, one familiar place
Assisted living and memory care share the building, so if needs change, the move is down the hall, not across town.
Assisted living
Help with the parts of the day that have become hard, and privacy for the rest. Meals, medications, housekeeping and a hand when it is needed, in a room that is entirely yours.
Memory care
A secured part of the building for people living with dementia, with the enclosed courtyard for time outside. Familiar faces, a steady routine, and the same private room and bathroom.
Daily life
Full days, at your own pace
Breakfast in the dining room, a morning activity, lunch with friends, an afternoon in the sunroom with a book. There is something planned every day of the week, weekends included, and no pressure to join in.
Family and friends are welcome to stay for a meal. Our team helps coordinate transportation to appointments and outings. Small pets are welcome too.
Featured reviews
In the words of families
The genuine care of every single one of the staff members was such a blessing […] The staff was always in constant communication with our family. The resident rooms, dining/kitchen areas, social area/living room, sunroom and outdoor patio have very home-like qualities that made our experience one we will never forget.

I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for placement of their family members […] It is a safe environment for them and everyone has their own personal rooms with bathrooms.

These two Google reviews were written when the building operated as Bridgewater at Janesville. Ryan approved using them. Before launch, Ron confirms it is the same building and the same license, and confirms the current Google Business Profile name.
Location
Where Janesville is
Picture Highway 14 running east from Mankato. Janesville is the first town you reach, about 20 minutes out, and Waseca is 10 minutes farther on. Close enough for a visit after work, far enough to be quiet.
- Mankato and North Mankato: about 20 to 25 minutes west
- Waseca: about 12 minutes east
- Owatonna: about 30 minutes east
Mayo Clinic Health System in Waseca is the closest hospital. All drive times.
