Reed Place in Denison, Iowa, is an assisted-living community designed for residents who want help with daily activities while retaining as much independence as possible. The team is trained to monitor and assist residents with diabetes management, including blood-glucose checks and coordination of insulin or other medications as ordered by each resident’s physician.
On-site medical support extends beyond diabetes oversight. Staff members provide incontinence care with scheduled assistance and discreet supplies, help ambulatory residents who need a steady arm or transfer aid, and handle medication coordination, from prescription refills to timely administration and documentation.
Living options include studios and one-bedroom apartments. Some residences feature kitchenettes for light meal preparation, others have individually controlled heating and air systems, and several open to landscaped outdoor areas; not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify the specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared three times daily and served in a communal dining room. Menus are designed to meet varied dietary needs, including low-sugar options that support the community’s focus on diabetes care, and staff monitor each resident’s nutritional intake as part of the overall care plan.
Residents can take part in scheduled activities in the on-site activity center and join themed clubs and interest-based communities that meet regularly. These offerings provide structured social engagement and help residents stay mentally and physically active without leaving the campus.
