Emery Place Assisted Living and Memory Care

Clean and caring staff. [name removed]l is the best with all of his enthusiastic personality - keeps staff moving and having fun!

I would say that the staff is very good with the residents - very mindset on making sure they are taken care of - willing to help. Husband felt more comfortable with Emery Place - felt more like home- not huge facility where he could get lost.

Everything has been great so far. Communication with the family has been really great. They've responded well to my loved one's requests. The staff is always very responsive to her and her needs. My loved one enjoys the activities, especially the music. Housekeeping is done weekly and I've heard no complaints. They take care of her medications and get them to her daily. I would recommend this facility to friends and family.

Emery place offers something that I have not found any other places to offer. Is it called closer care and it is where the memory care has been changed from a medium to large warehouse to small pods that contain approximately 10 people. In doing that, they are with the same residents consistently in a smaller setting. In the space my husband is in there is a large room with several tables and chairs, an activity area, and a kitchen area. Down the hall it is an L shape and there are 4 apartments on each wing. You are able to see everything from one space so people are not as left out or isolated -it is a very good plan. On the negative side all of these places are having a terrible time trying to hire quality staff. The staff here are quality and they are great people, but they are inconsistent in their shifts.

Emery Place is a lovely facility with a wonderful staff, and our father is content after having lived here for the past two years. Our family would highly recommend this facility. If and when the time comes that you are needing assistance with your loved one, it is a "wonderful home away from home."

My mother, [name removed], was a resident at Emery Place until her passing on [date removed]. The care she received was phenomenal. She lived in the Assisted Living apts. & enjoyed everything. She met many wonderful people also living there, and staff members as well. Having someone to come in and clean for you, and do your laundry! Wonderful!! She loved taking bus rides to parks or wherever. Just taking rides made her happy. The “Dare to Dream” program that Emery Place has, has a very special place in my heart. Why? Because my mother got to go up in a hot air balloon ride, and I was right there with her. Seeing the look on her face, and watching her as she looked around in awe brought tears to my eyes. I have Emery Place to thank for that!!! My mother is gone now, but I have soooo many wonderful memories of her living there. With Halloween approaching, I think back on her dressing up in costumes for their Halloween festivities. What a hoot!! Fun is what it’s all about! My only regret is that she didn’t have more time there!!

My parents were some of the initial residents at Emery Place moving in [date removed]. Mom lived in the Memory Care Unit and my dad moved into Assisted Living to be close to Mom. From day one, my parents were treated with compassion, respect and kindness. Even in my mom's last days, she received the utmost care. The employees constantly took the time to get to know my parents and their needs. Dad has continued to live at Emery for the pass three years and constantly tells me how comfortable and safe he feels there. Our family feels extremely lucky our parents moved into Emery Place five years ago and are grateful for the exceptional care they have received!

My Mom started living at Emery in August of 2018. Simply put, she absolutely loves it at Emery. The friendly, dedicated, and caring staff look after her every need. Her room, and the entire facility, is always very clean. She loves the food, especially being able to make requests. I really appreciate the level of communication provided. Monthly newsletters keep me up-to-date, and it is nice to see her picture included every month. I also appreciate how Emery keeps me informed on any medical issues, or something as simple letting me know that she needs something for her apartment. How Emery has kept everyone (residents and staff) safe and healthy during Covid-19 has been amazing! Overall, I couldn't have selected a better place for my Mom to live.

My parents began living at Emery Place 3 years ago. I have been impressed that the office staff and many caregivers have been there since their move in date!! This really helps build a family atmosphere in the community and allows the staff to really get to know each and every resident as a person. They know their histories and interests which made my parents feel special. In addition, during COVID they have went the extra mile to balance safety and fun. We participated in a car parade and they had several theme days where the staff worked in costumes to bring joy to the residents. But my personal favorite has been the patio visits over the last several months ?? Emery has been a blessing for our family.

Mom moved into Emery almost 5 years ago, already. She's 92, and has been very comfortable calling Emery her home. She loves the "independence" of having her own apartment, and is able to interact with others at her choosing, or just be cozy inside reading her daily newspaper. The care she has received is top notch, and the staff all very friendly and helpful to her, and to the family. I appreciate the fact they have kept her safe through all the pandemic the past 7 months as well. She enjoys mealtime and the fact she can have things custom made to her needs and wants if desired. I don't have to worry about her on a daily basis, because I know the expert and caring staff is there to watch over her when she needs something. Thanks Emery!

Our family chose Emery Place for both of our parents as we wanted to keep them together. It was the perfect fit and they certainly got all the attention that they needed and also helped the family transition us all during this difficult decision and change is all of our lives. They tended to each of their individual needs with respect and caring. After my father passed my mother moved to the memory care section on their advice ,again a difficult thing to face but they made it a wonderful experience. The small size and one level made it so easy for everyone. That part really appealed to us. Our family was apart of the Emery family for 3 and a half years and we could not have asked for a better place . We appreciate everyone and everything they do at Emery Place.

Emery Place has been a blessing especially during the Covid Pademic. We are so pleased with the care our father receives. They go the extra mile to make sure he is happy and healthy. HIGHLY recommend this facility!

Despite all the challenges of 2020, Emery Place continues to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for seniors. The staff is always helpful and caring and finds ways to keep residents active and happy. I can't think of a better place for my mom.

My sister comments regularly on how very helpful the staff members are. Several going out of their way doing thoughtful small things for her that surprise and delight her. She has expressed a desire for more food served as dinner. It is often more like a snack and dinner is late afternoon. There is an emphasis on sweet desserts which she doesn’t feel is healthy for her. Others really enjoy the desserts. Special care because of Covid has been very well done.

Never in a million years would I have thought my Mom would have liked being in an assisted living facility but she absolutely loves Emery Place in Robins, Iowa. She has been there about 7 months and is always saying how good the people are to her there. She also loves the food and has added a few much needed pounds. Emery has done a great job managing the Covaid crisis and keeping the residents active. Mom is in a much better situation now. Thanks a bunch, Emery Place.

My mom had lived in assisted living for 3 years prior to us moving her to Emery Place. We were needing to find a facility with memory care and knew right away Emery Place would be a good transition for her. Still being able to have her live independently, the assistance they offer is perfect for her needs at this point. Having nurses on staff along with medication management is great. They become the liaison between mom and doctors and manage all her medications and administering them when needed. The staff is so caring and become like family to the residence. I would highly recommend Emery Place to anyone needing to find assisted living for their loved one.

My father and his companion have been in Emery Place for the past 10 months. He has considered it home since they moved in. I think they have literally saved his life by the close attention to his health. For someone who has been so independent and feisty, he has willingly accepted their assistance and care, and enjoys the attention. Both of them have participated in the activities, when they are able. Greetings from the friendly staff are sometimes the high points of their day. It seems like the staff does so many of the little extra things to brighten the their days. Overall, we have been so impressed with our father’s and his companion’s care at Emery Place.

Emery Place is a wonderful community. The staff really cares and gets to know their residents and their families to create a home like environment. Elders are unique and the staff interacts with them as individuals getting to know their life story and interests. They encourage the residents to join in on activities they know they will enjoy. My dad is a fiercely independent 89 year old with Parkinson’s disease who has a tendency to push his limits. The staff does their best to respect his intent to do things himself while keeping safety in mind. Emery’s closer care “early ALZ” memory wing has been a blessing as it allowed us to keep my mom with ALZ with my dad. They share a lovely two bedroom apartment. We give Emery an A+
