Music in the Garden

Each summer we open the Shady Lane gardens to our community for music among the blossoms. Free and open to the public, we can think of no better way to wile away a balmy summer Sunday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 than Music in the Garden.

Nursing Scholarship

Nurses are important to all of us and as time goes on, nursing will be a growing need in Manitowoc County. For this reason, we offer a nursing scholarship for students who are interested in geriatric or rehabilitative nursing. For more information contact:

Seasonal Activities Connect to Manitowoc Community:

St. Nick Market - Held each December, the Market offers gifts, crafts, baked goods, children's activities and even a visit from Mr. & Mrs. Santa.

Neighborhood Watch - Since 2008, Laurel Grove residents have hosted our neighborhood's visit from the Manitowoc Police Department as part of being good Manitowoc neighbors.

Rehab Reunion - Our Annual celebration of those who have graduated from Sunrise to independence.

Valentine's Day Dinner - Romance knows no age and Valentine's Day celebrates that bond with sweethearts joining their loved one for a gourmet candlelight dinner at Shady Lane.

Live Long, Live Healthy is a community project in which we partner with nursing students from Lakeshore Technical College who come to Laurel Grove. They give blood pressure checks and presentations in health-related matters of community concern. This gives students an opportunity to interact with the community and community members to obtain useful information. The event is always free and open to the public.
