Vintage Hills of Indianola is an assisted living and memory care community that sits in Indianola, Iowa, as part of the Jaybird Senior Living Community, and it includes respite care for those who need short-term support, with staff available twenty-four hours a day and nurses on-site if needed for emergencies or regular care. Folks living here can choose between efficiency or one-bedroom apartments, many of which come with private bathrooms, full-sized kitchenettes, air conditioning, and free cable TV, with room sizes that influence how much privacy or social time each person gets, and if someone's in memory care, rooms stay simple to keep things safe, but residents can still bring in cats or dogs if they'd like, since pets are allowed in most cases. There's a secured memory care section for people who have Alzheimer's or other dementia, and it has things like specialized programs, reminiscence therapy, and rooms with safety supports like grab bars, plus technology like monitoring bracelets and systems that alert staff if someone tries to wander or gets too close to an exit.
People living at Vintage Hills get help with daily living tasks such as medication management, diabetes care, incontinence care, bathing, dressing, and all the personal needs that can get tougher with age, as well as transfer assistance ranging from one-person support to lift devices, so seniors with different care levels can stay at the community as their needs change. The dining program offers made-to-order meals from skilled chefs in an elegant dining room, private dining spaces for guests, and room service, with diet options for people who need gluten-free, low-sugar, or low-sodium meals, and international dishes or specialty plates, and folks can eat any time of day if schedules are tricky.
Vintage Hills keeps a full calendar of activities, led by a full-time activity director, and activities include things like yoga and chair yoga, gardening club, Wii bowling, lectures, crafts, movie nights on a big screen, piano, organ, and board games, and there's both indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing, reading in the library, cooking classes, and devotional services for different faiths, happening on and off site. Residents can use a fitness center, an enclosed courtyard, walking paths, a patio garden, and raised garden beds, or relax in spacious lounges with fireplaces, and there's also a game room, movie room, and meeting rooms for when company visits or groups want to gather. The beauty salon and barber shop is full service for those who want to keep up appearances, and community conveniences include free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, onsite parking, and housekeeping services, plus transportation options for local errands or trips-sometimes complimentary, sometimes for a fee, but there's access to bus lines, too, for those who want independence.
This community supports aging in place, so seniors don't have to move as their health changes, and there's a strong effort to keep folks happy and healthy, with behavioral care for tough days, accommodations for residents who may be at risk for wandering, and hospice help for those at the end of life. Folks who want to spend time outdoors can enjoy gardens and walking trails, while those who enjoy being social can look forward to outings and intergenerational programs, and those who want peace and quiet can find a spot in an indoor lounge or library, so no matter a person's needs or habits, there's a way to stay comfortable and engaged at Vintage Hills of Indianola.
