Ecumen Bethel Manor & Winona Shores offers 159 independent living apartments that provide affordable housing for income-eligible adults on the shores of Lake Winona in Alexandria. These rental apartments are subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Our unique setting is reserved for older adults 62 years and better.  We are fortunate to have an on-site Service Coordinator who is an advocate for our residents.  This role assists residents in receiving the help they need to remain as independent as possible.  Your independence is a right that we strongly encourage and advocate for.  Unfortunately, over time, we are the first to witness a tragic decline in the resident’s independence and signs of dementia start to show.  We are often times the individuals who need to compassionately bring these safety concerns to family members and find a solution that best fit the resident's needs.

We are participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s  in hope that there will be a day when residents can live out their golden years without the burden of memory loss decline.  We thrive to be a part of and support the end of Alzheimer’s so that older adults can live the life they choose.
