Silveridge Assisted Living, part of the Eventide Community, stands at 222 South 20th Street in Denison, Iowa. This place has 36 apartments in a newer building with one- and two-bedroom layouts, where every apartment has a kitchenette and private bathroom, and folks can enjoy high-speed internet and satellite TV. There are basic comforts here, like housekeeping, laundry, three meals a day with snacks, and a coffee café, plus family rooms with fireplaces, a private dining room, a hair salon, a spa room with a whirlpool tub, and a library with a computer. There's a fitness center, walking paths, a courtyard, community gardens, games and activity rooms, an arts room, a movie theater, and a chapel, besides outdoor common areas and a furnished patio where people can sit outside if the weather's decent. Silveridge offers assistance for seniors who need help with bathing, dressing, medication, incontinence, and even manual feeding, and they help folks with dementia or Parkinson's, too, with trained caregivers and registered nurses on staff and available at all hours.
This community doesn't provide full-time nursing care, but it does support those needing help with chores or health care while wanting to keep some independence, and they have care options for people needing independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and hospice. Residents have access to transportation for shopping, doctors, and church, with several churches-like Jehovah's Witnesses, St Ann's Catholic, United Church of Manilla, and United Church of Christ-close by, along with Hy-Vee and Walmart pharmacies. Crawford County Memorial Hospital sits just 0.16 miles away for emergency needs. All utilities except the phone are included, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, with help available for transfers and non-ambulatory care. The staff speaks English, and Silveridge lets folks bring their pets. People can join in on outdoor programs, games, music, movie nights, crafts, and resident-run activities, and the place hosts communal dining, all-day meal options with allergy-sensitive and diabetes diets, and has a chef.
The Denison area has about 11,000 people, so it's big enough to have the things you need but small enough that it doesn't feel crowded. Silveridge Assisted Living is state certified and designed for seniors who can move with the help of one person, providing both independence and support, with health checkups, medication monitoring, and regular activities. The monthly cost, which is around $2,946, covers most daily needs and comforts, and people who want tours can come see the apartments, including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options.
