Heritage House, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living, sits on 17 acres in Atlantic, Iowa, and folks will notice right away the modern farmhouse look paired with the wide-open, scenic views, which gives a peaceful feel to the place and makes it seem a bit more like home. The facility offers a full range of senior living options, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Support, Short-Term Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing, Long-Term Care, and services like Palliative Care, Hospice, Adult Day Services, Home Care, and Meals on Wheels, so people can move through different levels of care as their needs change without leaving the community, which makes things easier for everyone.
Residents find help with daily things such as bathing, dressing, transferring, medication management, diabetes care, and incontinence care, especially for those who need more support or can't get around easily. There's a 24-hour call system and supervision for peace of mind. The staff takes a clinically thorough and compassionate approach, with services recognized across the region, and the care model works well for older adults dealing with memory loss or other health needs, including those from outside the community when space is open.
The whole community encourages staying healthy in body, mind, and spirit, offering programs and events for all interests-from fitness activities at the on-site wellness center, social gatherings, and devotional activities, to special programming around nutrition and intergenerational experiences. There's a library, a garden, and several indoor community spaces where folks can meet, read, play games, or just chat. Meals are planned and prepared by chefs to be both nutritious and enjoyable, and transportation services make it easier for folks to get around.
The atmosphere at Heritage House is friendly and welcoming, with residents and staff helping newcomers feel settled in. Folks can choose from several types of accommodations designed for older adults, keeping both independence and support in mind. The facility's structure allows most people, even those who may need extra health care or memory support, to stay in the community as their needs change, and the goal is always to help each person continue a vibrant, active lifestyle while providing the right help when needed. Heritage House works to foster a safe, engaging environment where the focus is on healthy aging, community, and well-being.
