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.

This past weekend my mother-in-law visited us. On our weekend schedule were a number of visits to area assisted living facilities as she has stated an interest in moving closer to us, but is in need of assistance. On our list of visits was the New Homestead and Homestead Acres in Guthrie Center, Iowa. One of the nicest things is the fact that it is really more of an apartment with a staff, than it is a nursing home with options. The facility offers partial meal service and on-call staff (they are available and there, but they aren't checking people every 15 minutes, unless it's asked for). The apartments can be completely self-furnished, which is nice for busybodies. There is rehab facilities very close by (it's part of the same complex) and is available for residents. Overall, it was a nice facility that is very close to ideal for what we were looking for. This complex offers assisted living, independent living and nursing home care. We focused on the independent and assisted living site.
