Glenwood Place in Marshalltown, Iowa, offers two levels of residential care: Assisted Living for adults who need help with routine activities and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Care plans are individualized, and both settings have trained staff who monitor residents throughout the day. The community also accepts short-term respite stays, giving primary caregivers a break or enabling potential residents to experience the setting before making a longer commitment.
Additional medical and support services are kept in-house to limit outside travel and support continuity of care. Licensed nurses are on site 24/7 for health assessments, medication administration, and coordination with physicians. The community can transition residents to hospice care when needed, and those in Independent Living apartments can draw on nursing oversight if health needs increase. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled by staff to maintain hygiene standards, and both Assisted Living and Memory Care residents receive ongoing observation for changes in condition.
Accommodation choices include studio and efficiency suites along with select layouts positioned near the library and computer lounge. Some residences feature fireplaces, private patio or garden access, cable TV connections, and all utilities are included. Regular housekeeping is part of the monthly package, and certain floor plans are pet-friendly, though not every unit contains every listed feature.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily with alternatives available for specialized diets such as carbohydrate-controlled or texture-modified menus. Staff coordinate serving times with care teams to support medication schedules and cognitive needs, and residents have the option to enjoy meals in a communal dining room or, when medically necessary, in their own apartments.
An activity center hosts daily exercise, art, and education programs, while organized clubs and small resident communities encourage social interaction and routine engagement.
