Recent reviews of Independent Living in Thornton, 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.

Country Meadow Place Assisted Living and Memory Care Community in Mason City, IA
4.0

Our Dad is no longer there. We moved him to California where we live. However great experience there and wonderful staff at Country Meadows. I would recommend. The only reason I gave it a 4 is it's a locked unit. Depending on what you're looking for a locked unit can feel confining. However if you have someone you're concerned about with wandering or you are concerned about protecting the elderly from certain visitors then the locked facility is great and I would say a 5. When we were there they had a RN on staff which was extremely helpful and professional
