Independent Living Communities in Webster City, IA

"Southfield Wellness Community has been awesome, friendly, and very helpful. My mom was showing me the mini Christmas trees they made. They had a large Christmas tree in the dining area, which was more like a restaurant (at least appearance-wise). I'm very happy with the place and I don't worry about Mom. The living area has a large-screen TV, a fireplace, and it's just like being at home."

"I'm in Friendship Haven, in independent living called Kenyon Place. When available, they're going to move me to another room that wouldn't be so expensive. I had to buy in when I came here and if I run out of money they will start using that money instead of saving it for my estate. Then, if that runs out, they will work out something to get help so that I don't have to leave. They're extremely friendly. It's not just one, big, long building. They have about four or five streets that run off of our main building. The staff is really good. It's been real difficult with COVID because people left and went somewhere else, and it's hard to find people, but the staff I work with is very good. You couldn't do all the activities every day. If you wanted to, there would not be enough time. They have a pool, line dancing, balance class, brain class, and writing. They have a pool table. We get our noon meal, but we do our own morning and evening. The food is excellent."

"Eastern Star has a nursing home, independent living, an Alzheimer’s unit, and all within one facility so they would never have to move. You can have two bedroom and one bedroom, and the nursing home just had one big room with a nice bathroom on the side. A few people don’t have their own bathroom. You can bring your own dresser and TV, and they have a twin size bed. They have Bingo, cards, singing, they celebrate birthdays, and kids from school comes and do performances. I have eaten there a couple of times. The food is very good, and you have 3 or 4 choices in each category. I know some residents and they like it there. "

"My mom is in Cedar Ridge Independent Living and I think it's pretty good. They have a lot of activities and stuff to do for the people. I've had interactions with a couple of the staff and they've always been nice. I know they serve breakfast for free every day but she doesn't usually use them. They have a library and I think there's a courtyard too so they would have an outdoor space. They have garages for the residents' cars which cost extra per month. They have church activities and other activities that people can participate in. Compared to other places, considering things like apartment rent and other stuff, they are comparable. The residents also get a lot of free things like free cable and internet, which is a big deal for independent living. Some of the places require you to put in huge deposits and community fees that you can't get back. One of the big things for my mom for going here was that there was a community fee, but it goes toward your rent so the money is actually going towards something and not just an additional fee on top of everything else. That was an important thing."
