Recent reviews of Independent Living in Lakota, IA
Homestead of Mason City
4.0

Compared to other homes in the area they are most cost effective. In regards to my other numbers 3 is average. Could do a little more activity but being a smaller size I know they are limited with staff. Overall experience has been good so far.

Meadows Independent Living in Clarion, IA
4.8

The value of this community for the area is very reasonable, and we can walk through the community to get to the hospital and pharmacy. There is no staff on the weekends but if we have an emergency, we can pull the cord and someone from the hospital will come over. Before COVID there was bingo, bridge, and once a month they would have musical entertainment. Every couple of months they would have a special dinner for the residents. Even now we have an exercise classes for an hour twice a week.

Oak Park Place - Albert Lea
4.4

They really try and involve the community and their decorations are beautiful. The facility is very nice and clean and always decorated. As far as improving, on the memory care side, I have seen no activities with those residents. And with memory care it may be difficult, but they have puzzles on a shelf but I have never seen any open. There is very little interaction with the residents. They seem to just send everyone back to their rooms after mealtime. On the other side, assisted living side, they have several activities that residents can partake in like exercise class, bingo, a boat trip outing, but nothing in memory care.
