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.

Parker Place in Parkersburg, IA

That they were very helpful getting him settled in when admitted. In contact with me on his likes on what to do n to keep busy, etc. I'd give a positive experience and recommend taking a look at. We picked this community, because they had a shared room price, friendly staff on tour, clean. Residents out in common areas n engaged. Fairly close to home town.

Oak Park Place - Albert Lea

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.
