Simpson Memorial Home in West Liberty, IA, delivers nursing-home level care with 24-hour licensed nursing coverage, routine physician oversight, and on-site rehabilitation services. Staff members handle complex medical needs, including comprehensive diabetes management that covers blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and diet coordination. Families can expect skilled attention for both short-term recovery and long-term residency, with the facility maintaining Medicare- and Medicaid-certified standards of practice.
Beyond direct medical services, the care team supplies medication administration, wound management, fall prevention programs, and regular health assessments to keep each care plan current. Residents have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy without leaving the building, and emergency response systems are in place throughout the living areas. Coordination with outside specialists, lab work, and pharmacy services rounds out a care model designed to reduce hospital readmissions and keep residents medically stable.
Residents choose from private or shared rooms that are equipped with basic furnishings and safety features. Parking is available for those who still drive or for visiting family members, and several rooms are situated near outdoor areas that include a garden and walking paths, although not every accommodation has all of these features. The grounds give residents options for fresh air and light exercise in a supervised setting.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with snacks offered between scheduled dining times. Menu planning accommodates vegetarian choices, gluten-free selections, low- or no-sodium meals, and no-sugar desserts for residents following diabetic or cardiac diets. A dietitian reviews each plan to align nutritional intake with medical orders, and staff monitor meal consumption to ensure residents meet their dietary goals.
Daily life is supported by an activity center that hosts group events, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, and clubs that encourage social interaction. Health and wellness programs promote exercise and disease management, while arts and crafts sessions give residents structured creative time. These amenities are included in the monthly fee and help residents maintain cognitive and physical engagement.
