Bickford of Marshalltown sits at 101 Newcastle Rd and brings together a variety of senior living options under one roof, so folks can choose from assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and respite care, all within a familiar two-story building that feels welcoming and homey. The staff stays friendly and close by, always ready to help with daily tasks like bathing and personal care, while the care team uses the HigherPath senior health model to shape health plans around each resident's needs, supporting everyone's privacy, security, and dignity with private bathrooms, door locks, and a 24-hour call system. Residents have a choice of studio or one-bedroom apartments, with kitchenettes for snacks and guest visits, plus climate controls and ergonomic features like easy-to-use showers and fixtures that help folks live independently, and the apartments can be decorated with personal furniture and keepsakes to feel like home.
People can bring their pets, and the Bread Basket Scratch Kitchen prepares fresh, tasty meals every day, including diabetic-friendly options, so the dining areas stay lively and encourage neighbors to share a meal together, with guest meals always available. There's a steady calendar of activities-arts and crafts, literary groups, music, tabletop games, fitness and wellness programs, and off-site outings-plus gardens outside for relaxing, common rooms for gathering, and devotional services both onsite and off. The facility also helps memory care residents with safety measures and specialty care, allowing families to feel comfortable that their loved ones are getting dedicated support. Transportation and guest parking make visits simple, and residents can count on on-site beauty salon services, housekeeping, laundry, and linen help, along with Wi-Fi and satellite TV in both rooms and shared spaces.
Bickford of Marshalltown also holds a license for higher levels of care, offering progressive support as needs change, whether someone wants independent living, assisted living help, or requires skilled nursing, so residents don't have to move away as their situation changes. There's a proactive approach to medical care, including medication management, and everything's topped off with a focus on making life comfortable and personal, so each person gets the right blend of freedom, assistance, and connection in a place that aims to feel like an extension of home rather than a facility. These things together create a simple, comfortable living environment for seniors in the Marshalltown area, blending needed help with the chance to stay active and independent, and giving folks space and support to fill their days however they like.
