NewAldaya Lifescapes sits on 17 acres in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and has served the Cedar Valley for over 60 years, started by seven Lutheran churches and now welcomes over 300 residents from many backgrounds and beliefs. The community includes several living options like Glen Meadows Lofts, Glen Arbor, Sena Rownd, Park Ridge Ranches, The Bryhl, and the Retreat at the Bryhl, and the campus has buildings for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for Alzheimer's, and extended care. The facility goes by the full corporate name Cedar Falls Lutheran Home, and runs as a standalone, nonprofit group with a mission focused on Christian Caring-offering individualized care in a home setting inspired by God's love.
The grounds feature NewAldaya Main Street, where folks find a lot of choices, like Vern's General Store, River Rock Café, Elm's Pub, a Main Street spa and salon, a chapel, and a wellness center. You see people using the beauty salon and barbershop, going for manicures, pedicures, massages, and hair styling at the New Day Salon and Spa on Main Street. There's a garden club for anyone who enjoys working with plants, a community garden with walking trails, and a 14,000-square-foot lifestyle center. The Wellness Center has recumbent bikes, treadmills, weight machines, and group classes for exercise, balance, and strength.
Spiritual needs are met in the on-site chapel with services and programs for all. The Resident Life program includes coffee socials, movies, bingo, and regular exercise classes. S.A.G.E. UNIversity® runs programs for residents to connect and share with senior-level college students. The Home Connections program aims to help with daily needs, and there are wellness classes and special events for both physical and spiritual health.
Nursing services at NewAldaya cover a wide range, including skilled nursing, memory care, recreational therapy, and extended care, and the care staff is described as professional and compassionate. Residents have escorts and help when needed, and people can enjoy both independent and assisted living options that fit various needs and budgets, with the organization working to keep housing affordable.
Events and catering services are available for private parties, with flexible venues and menu choices. The community emphasizes friendly neighborly support, and there's a history here that goes back many years, which makes it a trusted choice for seniors in Iowa's Cedar Valley.
