Duluth House is a small retirement community in Ames, Iowa, located in the 50010 area, with only 8 residents at a time, and it's licensed as a Residential Care Facility under Iowa license #850672, which means folks get a quieter, more home-like atmosphere, and there's always trained staff around day and night, making sure help is there if someone needs to move, get dressed, or take a bath, and they're also right there if anyone needs spoon feeding or memory care, plus Alzheimer's care and even some mental health and psychiatric services are available. Each person gets a care plan made just for them, with a licensed nurse available all the time and regular health check-ups and medicine management, and folks who need help with diabetes, special diets for birthdays or health reasons, or help moving in get that too, since Duluth House sorts out all those small but important things like laundry, room cleaning, and move-in services to make life easier for residents and families alike. People can pick their own living setup, from private rooms with pull cords to single-bedroom units or shared apartments, and most units have things like in-room washers and dryers, ADA-compliant private baths, phone and internet, cable, and even a panic button. The 24-hour security system keeps everyone safe, and the maintenance staff take care of any little problems in the apartments or out on the grounds, which include gardens, porches, walking paths, and a lovely area where folks can enjoy the fresh air with pets or friends. Meals are set in the dining room with chef-prepared options, and there's special attention paid for allergies and diabetic diets, with food ready for special events like birthdays. Residents can do their own laundry if they want or use the provided service, and there's plenty to do, from games like bingo and cards in the games room, arts and crafts classes, group outings, and fun daily activities like movie nights, fitness, and walking, to using the computer area or library for reading or emails. There's a fitness room, therapy section, spacious library, and a movie room, while preventive health visits and care from healthcare providers are coordinated calmly and smoothly. Visitors can come by during flexible hours, and Duluth House helps families keep in the loop with regular support meetings. Off-site trips, picnics, and group outings to local spots, plus rides to appointments, are arranged by the staff, so seniors don't feel stuck inside. The place is pet-friendly, has furnished rooms, and people can rely on staff anytime, as everyone's safety and comfort matter, whether it's with complicated health needs, getting involved in group events, or just enjoying the porch in quiet moments.
