Risen Son Christian Village sits at 3000 Risen Son Blvd in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and has operated since 1997 as a Christian-based care community run by a non-profit. This place helps older adults with many different needs, and the staff always aims to support each resident's choices and independence. The campus feels like a small town, with garden homes, roomy apartments that have patios or decks, and several four-plex units that everyone says are quite spacious. Folks who enjoy the outdoors will like the neat walking paths, tranquil gardens, and landscaped courtyards, while those who like staying in can visit a cozy theater for movie nights or join in on lots of activities and social groups in busy common spaces. There's a structured program of social, educational, and fun activities, and regular devotional services and counseling are available from onsite pastors, with all-denomination worship for those who want it.
The community has three main care types: independent living, assisted living, and memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Memory care residents get secure private rooms and enclosed gardens, and the staff follows personal care plans. People can also get long-term skilled nursing care, memory support, and stay in the GracePoint Short-Term Rehab to recover from a hospital stay or injury, with several levels of medical support and both private or semi-private rooms. Risen Son Christian Village works closely with trusted local agencies to provide hospice services 24/7 when needed, and the skilled nursing center has 79 out of 102 certified beds available as of June 2025; the nursing home accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
Daily living feels easy for most with help from trained, friendly, and accessible staff who stick around all hours and respond quickly through a 24-hour call system. Residents can join art classes in dedicated rooms, take walks outside, or join the group in the media and activity rooms. Amenities include housecleaning, meal prep and service, beautician onsite, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor common areas, cable TV, and spacious dining rooms. Residents get meal service, regular housekeeping, scheduled rides to shopping and doctor visits, and maintenance-free living with lawn and snow removal for those in garden homes. There are also emergency alert systems, plenty of parking, and support for personal tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication reminders if needed.
Risen Son Christian Village is a full life plan campus, so it can adjust care as health needs change, offering everything from independent living, assisted living, memory care, non-medical home care, to skilled nursing and rehabilitation. The staff strives to help each resident have a healthy and fulfilling experience. People often form friendships through the activities, faith-based services, and communal spaces. The campus is close to shops, restaurants, and health providers, and stays connected to area churches and the wider community, and the place looks neat and clean year-round. Services try to cover physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness without overpromising, so folks and their families can feel supported no matter their stage of life.
