The Village, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living in Indianola, IA, provides a full range of care for seniors who want to stay active, healthy, and involved in their community, and you'll find Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Support, Short-Term Rehabilitation, and Long-Term Care all on one campus, which makes things easier as needs change. The staff, including RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, can handle minor and occasional medical needs, wound care, diabetic care, and even non-ambulatory and incontinence care, while home care aides focus on companionship and daily tasks for those who want to stay at home. There are personalized programs like eldercare financial assistance and support for veterans, and residents get access to wellness guides, meaningful activities, and helpful staff, and the facility has been given awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities in Senior Living, so people seem to like what's offered. There are amenities that focus on healthy living and independence-like walking paths, both indoor and outdoor common areas, parking, and transportation for getting out into the neighborhood, town, or bigger community, and pets like cats and dogs are welcome too, which some folks really appreciate.
The community has private suites and half baths thanks to ongoing renovations, an upgraded Aspen building with refreshed common spaces, a new community room, and a revamped salon that gives hair care, manicures, pedicures, and massages, plus a wellness area with a weight gym and yoga room, outdoor dining, a possible dog park, and garden beds for those who like to get their hands in the dirt. People can enjoy nutritious meals made from quality ingredients in enhanced dining venues, and can choose from many activity programs-on-site and off-site events, creative arts, sports, worship and devotional gatherings, and even classes and events at nearby Simpson College because they have a relationship there, which brings in some interesting opportunities for lifelong learning and staying engaged. Tennis and pickleball courts are available for fitness, there are both independent living apartments and townhomes, and walking is easy since the campus is in a good spot near the college, with sidewalks and green spaces to move around.
The Village supports every level of living, letting people move between care types if their needs change, and welcomes older adults from other areas too, so people don't have to worry if they aren't already part of the WesleyLife system. There are special programs to help residents stay connected, make friends, and enjoy purposeful lives, while the staff aim to provide care that covers mind, body, and spirit, which plenty of people find comforting. The facility uses unique terms and names for their programs and rooms, has on-site devotional activities, features per diem and PRN job opportunities for nurses and aides through a partnership with Nursa, and offers different healthcare staffing solutions, so staffing stays flexible and strong, and care is reliable, which helps people feel safe and cared for. With a full continuum of care, nutritious food, lots of activities, spiritual support, flexible living choices, and ongoing building improvements, The Village helps seniors stay healthy, active, and connected in a simple, walkable community that doesn't feel closed off from the world outside.
