Pennsylvania Place in Ottumwa, IA
4.9 / 5.0

They are very helpful at coordinating care. It's a very pleasant place to be. They have a daily activities schedule which include baking doggie cookies for the local pet shelter and other things. Communication between the community and myself is pretty good, they usually contact me with any issues. If I reach out to them first, they are responsive. My loved ones apartment is spacious; it has a living room, a bedroom, an easily accessible bathroom, and a small kitchenette area with cabinet and counter space. It's a pretty modern, updated nice place - and it's a move up for her. Overall I would recommend Pennsylvania Place to others.

Homestead of Centerville
5.0 / 5.0

Homestead of Centerville was the ideal place for my mother. The staff was professional, personable, and aimed to please at any time of day or night. The facility is clean, well lit and maintained, and free of odor and clutter. When mom required adapted assistance, the staff was willing to accomodate within regulation. The meals were outstanding, with the option of an Ala carte menu to please any picky eater. The activity director keeps residents engaged and makes days fun. We were all very comfortable with mom living there. A very quiet, controlled environment with all the privacy or engaging activities anyone could desire. Great to see smiling faces at all times! I would recommend Homestead of Centerville to anyone looking for assisted living and care.

River Valley Place of Ottumwa
4.0 / 5.0

the atmosphere is beautiful. the rooms are really clean, they try really hard to plan activities for the residents. the food is decent and the director was really easy to work with. we just felt like it wasn't a good placement for my loved one due to a combination of things. they seemed short staffed, which I'm sure played a part in different areas. my loved ones needs were maybe a little more than what could be adequately served in an assisted living community. it wasn't a good match for us, there were issues here and there that didn't work - but we did witness other seniors really thriving in that community and living their best lives! it was a short stay, as they didn't get to stay as long as we had originally planned.
