Assisted Living Communities in Newton, IA

"Courtyard Estates at Hawthorne Crossing was lovely. The rooms were quite spacious compared to other places I had seen. Most of the staff seemed very friendly. It was all very nice. They had nice activities that they offer, and that would be very desirable. Our only reason for choosing the other one was proximity to my sister. "

"The staff at Fair Haven are very kind and friendly. I've gone to other nursing homes to visit other relatives where the staff seemed a little creepy. The staff at Fair Haven are easy to talk to, it doesn't feel weird at all. The staff there do their job very nicely, and quickly. It's important that the staff stay on schedule, and these guys do. The rooms are very nice, they have a bathroom, bedroom, and living room. Which all are very roomy and inviting to visitors. The rooms have chords coming from the ceiling. With that attribute added to the rooms, if there is a complication then the person living in the home can pull the chord. When the cord is pulled it signals that the person living in the room needs assistance. It's really only for emergencies though. Not only are they very good and comfortable for living, they are also very affordable. Some assisted living homes and nursing home can get very pricey. Fair Haven is still pricey just like all other assisted living places, but it's at a little better of a price. In my opinion this is a very good home to look further into. "

"Prairie Vista Village was very good and the staff was very good and helpful. They gave us information that we needed and answered all our questions. It's only a four-year-old building so everything is very well-kept, clean and nice. We chose the place because it's pleasing, appealing and it's what we needed and wanted. They have plenty of activities."

"Glenwood Place was a nice place, but you pay too much for it. The independent living was a long walk for the residents who get tired out very easily. The rooms were very nice. The maintenance guy was very friendly. The dining area was too congested and too small for the amount of residents they had. We saw both independent and assisted living. It's a very clean facility."

"We toured Edencrest at Tuscany for my in-laws. Our overall experience was just what we expected. We met with Kevin, and he explained and showed us what it was all about. He also showed us two options that were available and told us about the 2-bedrooms. Both options were wonderful. It was a nice facility, brand new. I liked all of the services that they were going to provide. It made me feel like they would be safe. Even though they were in independent living, they would provide the call button if they needed something right away. It was not free of charge. But, in the end, that made me feel secure, even though they were going to be independent living. The rooms had lots of light. They had a beautiful balcony off of the living room and sliders that led to the balcony. The kitchen was very roomy and would be easy for them to navigate around even for those with issues with walking or a walker. Their kitchen was just about as big as my kitchen in our current home, so, it was very nice. The closet space was roomy with plenty of room for their personal items. It had an in-service laundry room that was right above the kitchen. It was like the brochure says, beautiful."

"The facility itself is very nice. It is an apartment complex offering various ranges of assisted living services. It is located directly next to a lake that residents can either visit or see from their window if they are on the correct side of the building. The staff is accommodating, but are very averse to any actions that might hinder "routine". There seems to be a rather extensive list of rules for the facility, which can be good or bad, depending upon your preference. The residents are very friendly for the most part and are quite courteous. They will hold doors and elevators for you, and engage in friendly conversation. There is very good parking services for residents, including and indoor parking garage. There is also a little shop in which residents can spend money to buy snacks and other assorted conveniences. In addition, there is a hair salon in the facility. All in all, I would recommend The Shores, but be aware that there are a number of rules and guidelines. "

"My grandmother stayed at this nursing home while recovering from shoulder surgery. This facility had assisted living and a nursing/rehabilitation wing. It was a great facility that offered shared and private rooms. The smell within was pleasant and was not the typical "nursing home" smell. My grandmother greatly enjoyed her stay here. She said that they had a lot of extracurricular activities available to the residents that included Wii Bowling and Baseball, Ice Cream Socials, Tea Parties and many more. She requested that if she ever needed to go back for an extended period of time she would want to go back! "

"I like Valley View Village very much. I'm looking for assisted living for both of my parents, and so I need a two-bedroom unit, but they don't have anything available. Nevertheless, the staff members were very knowledgeable. They gave us all the information we needed. They were able to show us the campus there and show us all their amenities. It was very nice. The cleanliness looked great. We didn't see anything that didn't look up to par. The apartments were fine. They didn't have what we needed, so we looked at a one-bedroom, which was fine. The only thing was that it was a little dated and a little worn, but that's okay. It's an older facility. The tour person did great. He had all the information we wanted and gave us a packet of information."

"My dad was at Edencrest at Siena Hills for over a year. We really liked the staff. The apartments were very nice. They had a full-size refrigerator and a microwave. It was like a kitchen, but without the stove. It was very nice. They had a one-bedroom apartment, and it was like a small apartment. The bathroom was very large, which accommodated a wheelchair. Their showers were handicapped accessible. My dad was very happy there. The food was OK. My dad is very picky, and the food could be better. They had exercise classes three times a week. They always had activities, like a baking class. They had a pool table area, where you could play cards. They had a place where you could do puzzles. They had a library. It was expensive, but it was well worth it."

"The Gardens at Luther Park was a beautiful facility. It was open, bright, and sunny. The people were really nice. It had all the services that we needed on one campus. "

"Suites of Ankeny was very nice. The rooms were a good size. They have a cleaning service if you want them to come in. They have three meals a day. The lady watching the front desk took me around and she was very nice. It seemed like a very nice, calm place to me. The dining area looked wonderful. They have a lot of activities."

"My husband's aunt is in Windsor Manor Nevada. I have been there before, and it is a gorgeous place that is very clean, very well appointed, and very well laid out. When I visited, there were lots of people that seemed to be busy socializing with each other. It's just very nice. They have people come in to do crafts with them or play music. I know they have a bus that takes my husband's aunt into town every day. Her husband is in the hospital, so they drive her in every day, then pick her up and bring her back. "
