Main Street Manor sits at 207 3rd St N in Swea City, Iowa, offering care for up to 34 seniors in a medium-sized, home-like setting, and it's part of the ABCM Corporation network. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, all furnished and equipped with telephones, so folks can pick what works best for their comfort and needs, and rooms come ready with what's needed, so it's easy for new residents to settle in. The community has indoor common spaces, a dining room with all-day, restaurant-style meals, and living areas that make it feel like home, and meals are chef-prepared daily, with options for clinical diets like low-salt for high blood pressure and sugar-controlled plans for diabetes, plus there's help with feeding for those who need it. Residents can relax in the gardens or walk the walking paths, enjoy the library, or visit the on-site barber and beauty parlor, and sometimes mobile stylists drop by, too.
Games areas, crafts, music therapy, animal therapy, tabletop games, and scheduled recreation or exercise help folks stay active, and the Manor runs regular social nights, movie entertainment, and off-site outings for those who want to see more of the community or get some fresh air. There's help with bathing, grooming, getting dressed, and getting in or out of the bath or bed, with staff available around the clock in case someone needs help right away, and the Manor uses an emergency alert system and life safety features for peace of mind. Dietary needs and medication are managed by staff, and those who need diabetes monitoring or non-ambulatory support get careful attention, with coordinated rides to medical appointments, shopping, or spiritual activities, plus transportation around town for errands and fun outings is also available.
There's a full calendar of activities including arts, crafts, exercise, and music to keep everyone engaged, and some activity programs are even run by residents or sponsored by the broader community, so everyone has a chance to join in how they like. Staff support residents with everyday activities and encourage independence, whether someone needs a bit of help or lives more independently, and memory care or respite and hospice services are in place, alongside full assisted living care. Laundry, housekeeping, and support with personal items like grooming or clothing are provided, too, keeping things simple for residents who want less to worry about.
Main Street Manor does its best to keep residents safe, active, and comfortable, with 24-hour staff supervision, nutritious meals, and a secure environment, with programs aimed at keeping both the body and mind healthy. The building and grounds offer quiet places to visit with others, join an event, or just have some peace. It's designed to give seniors a sense of community and support, with services covering most needs, all in one place.
