Assisted Living Communities in Waverly, IA

"Cedar Falls Health Care Center's staff is very caring, and they're taking good care of my father-in-law. The residents play bingo and do exercises by moving their arms. The staff treats the residents well, and they have three meals. The staff is taking care of his needs. The staff is very helpful, attentive, and caring. We were there one night, and they brought his supper to his room. "

"This place is the best, the staff are very friendly and helpful to the residents. The overall appearance of the facility is clean. In many facilities like this, there is usually a bad odor in the air, much like urine. In this facility this was not the case. The facility has it's own pool for use, a fully loaded sensory room, more than adequate space for common and dining areas, and an overall sense of professionalism. From the clients that I have had interactions with, they all seem very content with the services that they are provided, and their opportunity for community outings occurs frequently. "

"Windermere offers just about everything a person needs. Right now, it's difficult for them to keep up as far as hiring people for different reasons, but mainly it's because of COVID. Other than that, it is a comfortable place. There are activities here and meals are included in a monthly payment or you can opt to buy if you would like. They have very nice homes to purchase if you would like. They also have a fitness center, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a sports bar, and a lot of activities going on. They have outside pickleball courts that they just built and just a number of items that are beneficial primarily for the independent people."

"I'm staying at Windhaven Assisted Living and it's a nice place. There are many different buildings out here and right now, ours is being renovated and it's not done yet. It'll be nicer when it's done. I'm in their assisted living now and I have a 1-bedroom apartment. It's very nice, clean, and painted. They take care of everything. The staff is also very good. We've had a new food service manager so the food's been changed a little bit, but I think it'll be fine when it's done. We have activities every day except Saturday and Sunday. There are book clubs, exercises, and games. I think I'm getting my money's worth."

"My father has moved into The Rose of Waterloo last week. There is a monthly charge for that and then you get five emergency calls included with that monthly charge. They always wear the emergency pendant and there is a charge for that per month, too. If you need help with things, they have it all listed and what it would cost per hour to have that assistance. They have lunch and dinner seven days a week. There's always a nurse on site, 24/7. They have a calendar of activities like bingo, dominoes, and even some religious types of activities. They have a salon on site, and then they have a community room where a lot of the activities are held. They have a whirlpool bath, but you have to pay extra for that. All the rooms come with a microwave, a stove, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. They are all 1-bedroom apartments, they don't have studios. They have outdoor parking all around the building and a good number of residents have cars. Some of the residents don't even use the lunches and dinners, so they'd have to do groceries or eat out for breakfast."

"The tour we had at Birdee Cottage Assisted Living & Memory Care was good. It was very clean and had a very new feeling. The patio was very pretty. They've got some flowers and pumpkins. It was just very pleasant out there. We liked that it's kind of small and that it's family-oriented. The people seemed to be very nice. The staff who assisted us was very, very pleasant and knowledgeable. They could furnish the room for you if you want, or you can bring in your own stuff. The one thing that was kind of off putting is we didn't see any of the other residents around."

"I also went to Lakeview Lodge, and it had a lot of different things to offer. It has an aquarium, a theatre, and an ice cream parlor. The staff were very nice, too. "

"My mother has moved into Parker Place. It is great. The staff members are tremendous. I have no complaints with them at all. I can email them, I can text them, and I can call them anytime and ask any questions. My mom's room is very spacious. They provided most of the furniture; they provided the bed and the dresser. Because of COVID, I was only allowed in my mother's room once, the day we moved in. It was very clean. The staff member helped me put all of her things away. They helped me unload my car into her room. From what I have seen, I have no complaints. They went above and beyond for the family to help with the transition."

"My father is in Cobblestone Court Assisted Living. It's beautiful. Wonderful people. Wonderful facility. He's enjoying everything. They have great meals, and they have movies. It's a wonderful place. It is homey. The food is wonderful. They have a library, a theater, everything. The staff is very friendly."

"My mom lives in Parkview Assisted Living. It's excellent, they have Bingo, they take the residents out to eat, to a play or to watch musical, to doctors' appointments, and they'll pick up groceries and other stuff for them. They serve three meals a day, and there's a nurse on staff, but she's not there full time. It's a smaller facility, but it's a lot less expensive than most places."

"My dad is in Maple Manor Village for rehab. They are taking good care of him for the amount of staff that they have. Everybody's shorttaffed these days. All in all, I would say he's getting good care. I'm a little disappointed that they only do physical therapy once a day for about 30 minutes. It's up to him to push this button and have them come in and get him up to walk. It's a typical nursing home; it's sad. They were trying to do remodeling, and then the pandemic hit. At one point a few weeks ago, there were only like 24 residents, and there were three CNAs with one nurse on each shift. It stretches them a little thin too. He doesn't have any complaints about the food. The cook's takes pretty good care of dad. The reason why we want to get him out of there is because as of today, the rates went up. For moderate care, it's over $1000 a month. His rehab is covered by Medicare and his insurance, which is a wonderful thing. If he would be to become a full time resident, it would be 8000 a month. I think the staff try as hard as they can."

"This is an excellent facility. The New Hampton Nursing and Rehab Center helped us make our mother's transition from the hospital to their rehab center a breeze. Janice Tank stayed hours past her scheduled time off on a Friday evening to help us get the job done. The staff was friendly, professional and treated their patients with dignity. The facility was clean and comfortable with many activities. Our mother has been very happy with the care given to her and in turn we, her children, can feel confident in her care and recovery. We visited several facilities and this was by far the best! "

"The place is nice and clean, but their office girl, Jessica is rude and says she is helpful, but really isn't. She likes gossip and talking about others. It was hard to be a family member there. If they would screen their employees better, it would be a better place. But the food is good, the people there are nice, the residents are good, clean people. "
