Keystone Care Center sits at 250 5th St E in Keystone, Iowa, and offers a combination of home health care, assisted living, and skilled nursing services, and even though it's set up as an urgent care facility, it has occupational health services and sends skilled nurses and therapists into people's homes, and folks can get personal care, homemaking help, and different therapies right at home if that's what they need, which is convenient especially if getting out is hard. The center's housing includes independent living, senior apartments, condos, and townhomes along with regular assisted living and even memory care for folks that need more help, and older adults who are very frail can get intermediate care and skilled nursing including short-term rehab for the times between hospital and home, and staff always provide health care for things like diabetes, incontinence, and mobility problems.
Meals are provided and prepared with nutrition in mind, and people have spots to gather and socialize, or join in devotional activities and outings, since staying busy and connected is encouraged with regular educational and fun events. Safety's a big deal here, so walk-in tubs, home security systems, medication dispensers, and even medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical or ADT Medical Alert are all in use, and there's also senior ID theft protection, which a lot of folks appreciate. Keystone Care Center provides technology help like special phones for seniors, affordable internet plans, and good options for cable or data, and hearing aids resources are available if hearing starts to fade.
For families and residents who need legal or financial help, the center has information about estate planning tools such as living trusts and durable powers of attorney, plus guidance to help avoid taxes and steer clear of scams or fraud, and they're good about helping folks pick a proper power of attorney or find long-term care choices, whether that's in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care. There's also a cost guide so families know what to expect with care expenses, and the staff-fully trained and friendly-make an effort to create a safe, worry-free environment where people can still feel independent but get help as needed, and they can even tailor care for each person, since everyone's needs are different.
Transportation and caregiver support are offered to make life easier for seniors, and the social program helps friendships grow, since it's not always easy making new connections as you get older. The center is part of the Approved Senior Network, which connects trusted senior care providers, and over time, people there seem to appreciate the simple routines and peace of mind, as well as the different options for care, privacy, and staying as active as feels right.
