Hearthstone, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living, sits in Pella, Iowa, and gives older adults a safe and supportive environment where caring staff help residents live a full and vibrant life, and there's Nancy Hamilton guiding the services there, which include many options like independent living, assisted living, memory support, short-term rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, and at-home services such as home care, palliative care, hospice, and Meals on Wheels, so people can find the level of support that fits their needs best. The staff are known to be friendly, joyful, and kind, and the community runs on principles of Christian compassion, and residents can join various daily activities, devotional programs, movie nights, music sessions, fitness opportunities, and volunteer chances that keep everyone engaged, active, and connected, while nourishing meals planned by chefs take care of nutrition.
Residents have access to a Certified Nursing Assistant class and a comprehensive program that helps people build medical and caregiving skills, which is good for those interested in long-term care work. Hearthstone focuses on holistic health, celebrating mind, body, and spirit, and supports people in maintaining independence while helping with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and healthcare services for things such as diabetes and incontinence. The facility has a large campus with comfortable living spaces and lovely landscaping, plus many amenities like game rooms, a library, walking paths, a business room, fitness room, gardens, spa and wellness rooms, barber/salon, and several indoor and common gathering areas, so residents have plenty of places to socialize and relax.
All campuses have 12- to 16-hour nursing, a round-the-clock call system, and 24-hour supervision, which adds a sense of safety, and Hearthstone makes it easy for residents to get to local healthcare services, because it's close to places like Pella Regional Health Center and pharmacies, while restaurants, churches, and stores nearby give even more ways to fill the day. Hearthstone offers transportation for outings, and supports both community-run and resident-run activities, encouraging people to stay connected with friends and take part in meaningful ways both inside and outside the campus, with person-directed living meant to let each resident shape their own experience and purpose, and for those who want to volunteer, there are always opportunities both in the facility and out in the broader Pella area. Hearthstone balances professional services with a homey feel, offering a full range of care in a warm, welcoming setting, and is recognized regionally for providing strong support for seniors seeking holistic wellness and a vibrant, connected community.
