Western Home Communities Continuing Care Retirement Community offers a full continuum of care on one campus, allowing residents to transition from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or short-term rehabilitation as their health needs change. Around-the-clock licensed nursing coverage, routine physician visits, on-site therapy services, and on-call medical professionals provide a clinical safety net. The community handles medication management, wound care, post-surgical recovery, and chronic disease monitoring, and maintains working relationships with Cedar Falls–area hospitals for specialized referrals and emergency transfers.
Complementing these core medical services are care features designed to maintain day-to-day wellness. Individualized care plans are reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team that can include nurses, therapists, dietitians, and social workers. Residents have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy without leaving the property, as well as scheduled transportation to off-site medical appointments. A nurse call system connects each living area directly to staff, and respite stays are available for short-term needs or when family caregivers require a break.
Accommodations range from studio apartments to larger one- and two-bedroom layouts, along with private and companion rooms in higher-acuity areas. Each residence includes basic utilities, maintenance, and weekly housekeeping, and many units feature step-in showers with grab bars, emergency pull cords, and individually controlled climate systems. Some apartments add kitchenettes, washer-dryer hookups, or patio access, while select suites in the health center incorporate overhead lift tracks for ease of transfers. Not all accommodations have all of these features, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour.
Dining services provide three daily meals planned by a registered dietitian, served in a central dining room with table service. Lighter fare and snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can prepare modified textures and physician-ordered therapeutic diets. Residents may reserve a private dining space for family gatherings, and café-style venues on campus offer made-to-order sandwiches and salads for those preferring flexible mealtimes. Not all dining venues provide every menu option, so confirming the choices available in a particular living area is recommended.
