The Meadows Senior Community sits about 17.9 miles outside Webster City, in Clarion, Iowa, right at 1302 South Main Street, where it shares a campus with The Meadows Independent Living and connects directly to Iowa Specialty Hospital, which makes healthcare visits a bit easier for folks who live there. The community has 42 beds and offers both independent living and assisted living, with studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans, so people can have their own space or choose something different if they want. Each apartment includes basic utilities, weekly cleaning, daily "I'm okay" checks, and monthly health checks with vital signs and weight, plus residents wear 24-hour emergency pendants for added safety, and there's an emergency alert system as well.
For meals, The Meadows serves three nutritious meals each day in a dining room with all-day, restaurant-style options, and staff can help with dietary restrictions such as allergies or diabetes, so there's less worry around food. There's laundry and dry cleaning services, weekly housekeeping, and routine maintenance included, and everybody gets either two showers a week or one shower and a whirlpool bath, depending on what's needed. Residents can get assistance with bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around if they need it, and there's always supervision for those who want extra help.
The community has an arts room for creative activities, regular movie nights, and a "Things To Do" program packed with arts and crafts, excursions away from the campus, and events with local volunteers, so there are always ways for residents to stay engaged. There's a well-stocked library, a beauty salon, a garden courtyard, landscaped walking paths, and a lounge where people can relax or visit. Personal care, supervision, nonmedical health services, and escorts to doctor's appointments are all available, along with daily wellness checks.
The Meadows has both independent living and assisted living options, Alzheimer's care services, and works with several local healthcare partners like Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics, Gabrielson Clinic, Orthopedic Specialists, and Iowa Weight Loss Specialists. The staff provides care focused on safety, privacy, and helping people live as independently as possible, with services reviewed monthly. There's a resident greeting service and a supportive environment for up to 42 people at a time, with programming meant to promote social interactions, learning, and a healthy lifestyle. The Meadows is part of a broader network under the Iowa Health Care Association, and they offer floor plans, virtual tours, a photo gallery, and extra resources to give potential residents and families a clear idea of life at the community. There's a waiting list for new residents, and because The Meadows is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, residents can stay as their needs change, knowing help is close by if and when it's needed.
