Assisted Living Communities in Anita, IA

"When I walked in Allen Place, it felt good. It did not feel cold or like an institution. It felt like a home. From what I saw, everything looked clean. They needed a better sign on a main street to let everybody know where the place is. "

"I visited this facility, and it is clean and respectful to its residents. They truly care for the residents. "

"The New Homestead facility is nice. I would say the staff is fine. My mother-in-law’s comments about the food have been very good. "

"My mother in law visited this past weekend, and even though when she came down two months ago, she all but picked the place she would move to if she came down, she wanted to visit another facility.As such we drove to Stuart and visited the Willows. Most of the amenities are in line with what I have come to expect, good dining services, parking, nice living quarters, updated living areas(not just a TV and a couple of chairs like I used to see) and actual apartment style rooms. One of the nice things to see was that while there were some floaters as far as people who weren't active, there were plenty of people talking and watching TV. For 20 minutes I escaped the guided tour and was treated to a great football conversation with a bunch of guys who seemed to range in age from mid 60s up to a guy who looked like he was in his late 90s. It was nice to be able to see that these were real people having the same conversations that my friends and I have. My wife and her mother played a game of hand and foot with some of the women at one of the tables, which was a blessing for my wife, since I hate hand and foot. The Willows is solid around the board and the costs are great when you consider the costs of the area. While it isn't the cheapest and it's not the finest, it is an excellent blend of cost-effective and refined as to make it worth it serious look. "

"The Lakeside Village is about the best place to get into. The place is a little pricey, but it is all right. We are eating regularly here, I just come down when the food is ready. The staff is hardworking and they do what they can for you. The only complaint I have is that the elevators are located on each end of each floor. So, if you live in the middle, you have to do a lot of walking."
