Sunset Park Place in Dubuque focuses on two primary levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—so residents can receive help that matches their cognitive and physical needs. Diabetes management is available, and the community accepts both traditional Respite and Short-Term Stays, which allows caregivers a break or lets families try out the setting before making a longer commitment.
To back up those care levels, the residence maintains an emergency call system in all living areas, and the Memory Care neighborhood is a secured community for residents who may wander. On-site medical services include licensed nurses for daily oversight, medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice coordination, and diabetic monitoring. Physical, occupational, and massage therapists, plus a visiting podiatrist, help residents maintain mobility and comfort, while regular laundry and dry-cleaning services remove an everyday burden.
Apartments come in several layouts and do not all carry every feature, but options may include kitchenettes, central air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and in-unit washer and dryer. The building is pet-friendly, with cats expressly allowed, and common areas such as a central fireplace, piano lounge, and billiards room add casual gathering spots. Outside, landscaped grounds, an outdoor garden, and dedicated parking give residents fresh-air space and convenience. Housekeeping is provided, and most utilities are included in the monthly fee.
Dining is handled on site, with three meals a day plus healthy snacks. Guest meals can be arranged so family members can dine with residents. Menu planning considers special diets, including diabetic and low-salt requests, and staff are available to assist with portion control or any eating challenges. The goal is to keep meals familiar, nutritious, and easy to enjoy without residents having to shop, cook, or clean up.
Recreation and wellness programming rounds out life at Sunset Park Place. An activity center supports daily events such as bingo, arts and crafts, live-music performances, clubs, and intergenerational programs. Residents can read or go online in the library and computer lounge, watch films in the theater room, or head out on group social outings. Raised garden beds, outdoor walking paths, and allowed-outdoors times encourage movement, while regular happy hours and health and wellness classes offer a structured way to stay connected and fit.
