Mayflower Home sits in Grinnell, Iowa, serving folks aged 55 and up with a mix of care choices that really let someone stay put as their needs shift, so a person could come in living on their own and then get more help over time, whether it's just a little help with daily things like bathing or a lot more like skilled nursing or memory care. The place has several kinds of living options, like private and semi-private living quarters, studios, one-bedroom suites, and even patio homes and apartments, spread out among their five traditional apartment buildings and newer Watertower Square with 26 premium apartments. They've got a bunch of different names and license numbers for their locations, including the main Mayflower Home - Assisted Living with room for 17 residents (license S0071), Windsor Manor Grinnell with 60 units (license 2579), TRU REHAB OF GRINNELL with 78 units (license 1110), and ST FRANCIS MANOR holding up to 23 folks (license 0893347), all offering different sets of services within the bigger Mayflower Retirement Community. What stands out is how they run everything from board and care homes for a small group in quiet neighborhoods up to the whole continuing care retirement community, where a person can get anything from independent living with no chores or cooking, to help with things like medication, meals, getting around, memory care, or even round-the-clock medical care if that's what a person needs. Memory care programs provide a secure setup and activities for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and skilled nursing can include wound care and rehab for people with big health needs.
Amenities run long, including walking trails, a community garden, transportation for errands and doctor visits, a movie theater, chapel, fitness classes, daily activities, and a wellness center. Residents can get involved through the Residents Association or use technology resources, and there's a mini gift shop and ways to order food online for extra ease. Everybody gets access to meals with special dietary needs handled, emergency alert systems in every room, and 24/7 staff watching out for folks who need help with moving, bathing, or other things, plus housekeeping and laundry. The Mayflower Home makes care plans for each resident, whether that means only checking in now and then or constant nursing care, so everyone's got what they need-from mealtime help to medication management to memory support. They handle all levels, serving people with disabilities, those needing continence management, and non-ambulatory folks. The grounds cover both home-like small group residential care homes and the bigger senior living community campus, all trying to offer a blend of care and independence depending on a person's stage of life. Community events, on-site health care, rooms for socializing, and rooms for privacy give choices to fit most preferences. Move-in help, safety features, beauty shop, gardening, and transportation services all play a part. Mayflower Home centers its services around what matters most to the resident, working to match care, comfort, and activity for people as they age, right where they live.
