Assisted Living Communities in Marshalltown, IA

"Our dad is currently at Bickford of Marshalltown. The place is close, and I already know two other people there. It is really a nice place. The experience has been great so far. It would be better if COVID was not around. They are all great and have all been wonderful so far. All their food is made from scratch every day; not stuff you get in other nursing homes which is just mush. His room is like a little apartment and we have all his things from home, so it is like his own little apartment. They have activities, but right now he just got out of surgery, so he is just laying low and hanging out in his room. It is nice and is just all on one level and just goes to a big square. He has dementia and he is always roaming, and so he can always find his way back. It is really expensive, but so all is every place. I checked other places too, and it's all the same price, but he gets more for his money there than he would get in another nursing home."

"My mom moved into Glenwood Place. It's an assisted living building. She is actually in a one-bedroom small apartment and very well cared for. They have fantastic staff here. She enjoys some ladies that she's met. They have great activities. They take good care of my mom, so I'm happy that she found this place to be."

"Oak Estates is very good. I wouldn't have my father any place else. The services they provide are really good, and the price is very reasonable. We're very happy and very satisfied. The assisted living is attached to the nursing home, so he can go over to the nursing home for any activities they have there. He likes the food. They have a room just for family members who want to stay and eat, and the cost is pretty reasonable. He's in a one-bedroom apartment. They have a common room that has a piano and a TV. Everything is included in the cost and still very reasonable."

"After remarrying in 1998, my grandmother moved to Grinnell, IA to live with her new husband. They lived in a duplex which was owned by the Mayflower Home and would probably be considered "independent living". The duplex was very nice, a 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2-story home with an attached garage. They were completely independent, but if they ever had any maintenance issues (needed a lightbulb changed, needed something fixed, etc.) then the Mayflower Home would send someone out to fix it for them. Additionally, they had access to Mayflower's "activity center" and were welcome to dine at the nursing home.The activity center including a driving range (netted), a miniature golf course, shuffleboard, and ping pong. They also had a shuffleboard outside. Because they were older, we spent several holiday meals at the Mayflower's nursing home cafeteria. The food was good and they were always very accommodating. In particular, I remember we were there for Thanksgiving one year and I got excited when they brought mashed potatoes and said something about gravy. It turns out it was just mashed potatoes, but our waiter went and found a boat of gravy because I had said something. On a few years, they even put our family in a separate dining area where we had more room and privacy. The nursing home itself is also quite lovely. They have a room to the left when you first walk in with birds and you can sit and watch them, read, etc. They also have a room off to the right where they have activities with residents. The facility is always immaculate and the staff is very friendly. A couple years later, my step-grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and when he became difficult for my grandmother to manage alone, he moved into Mayflower Home's nursing home. He shared a room with another patient but he was always well cared for and the staff seemed very friendly. My grandmother visited him daily and would take him for walks through the facility. My grandfather passed away about three years ago and my grandmother still lives in the "independent living" duplex. She enjoys spending time at the nursing home for exercise (she walks around the activity center), meals, and visiting the gift shop. The Mayflower home offers something for everyone is basically an all-inclusive facility for older people with care for whatever level you need. I would highly recommend them to anyone. "

"This was home for my mother for 8 years! She enjoyed everything about Windsor Manor. The staff, the other residents, the activities, as well as the food. FUN is encouraged and makes for happy residents. My mother was 99 when she needed additional assistance, but there are several other residence as old, or older at Windsor. Residents thrive here! Thankful for assisted living facilities like Windsor Manor (Grinnell) "
