Introducing February and March’s Coffee Sponsor: Pinecrest of Country Manor

Set to open in Fall 2026, Pinecrest of Country Manor is an exciting new addition to the Brainerd Lakes Area. Currently under construction at 9040 Country Manor Way in Brainerd, Minnesota, Pinecrest is thoughtfully designed to bring upscale senior living, vibrant community life, and trusted care together in one beautiful setting.

Pinecrest is the newest endeavor of Country Manor, a senior living and healthcare organization with deep roots in Central Minnesota.

Year after year, over the last five decades, the Country Manor name has earned both local and national recognition. Notably, Country Manor has been named Best Senior Living in Central Minnesota for more than a decade, a title made even more meaningful because it is voted on by the very community and families they serve.

Pinecrest was intentionally developed to extend that same award-winning care, culture, and lifestyle to the Brainerd Lakes Area—tailored to the unique character and pace of this region. 

Designed for Today’s Senior

Pinecrest of Country Manor will feature multiple distinct living communities, all intentionally designed with senior-friendly amenities, services, and conveniences. Indoor-connected walkways allow residents to easily access shared spaces, services, and social opportunities year-round, making everyday life both comfortable and convenient.

Life at Pinecrest goes far beyond the walls of an apartment home. Community is woven into daily life, offering residents countless ways to stay active, social, and engaged—whether they prefer a full calendar or a quieter pace.

Residents can look forward to:

• Wellness and fitness classes taught by trained professionals and focused on strength, balance, mobility, and overall well-being.
• Intergenerational programming with students from Kids Crest, the on-site childcare and preschool. Creating meaningful connections across generations.
• A bustling social calendar filled with easy, low-commitment activities—intentionally designed to be simple to join neighbors for a game, class, casual gathering, live entertainment, or celebration.

For those who value quiet moments just as much as social ones, Pinecrest will offer numerous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces—ideal for reflection, visits with family, or small get-togethers with friends. The campus is situated on scenic land, complete with beautiful views and walking trails that invite residents to slow down and enjoy their surroundings.
