Good Neighbor Society

Good Neighbor Society sits in Manchester, Iowa and offers a range of senior care services all on one campus, so you can find help with skilled nursing, assisted living, long-term care, memory care, independent living, and rehab to home, and they've kept all these services together as a Continuing Care Retirement Community since they started as the Good Neighbor Home back in 1963, when they first opened with 55 beds and stretched to now handle 113 residents with new buildings and remodeling over the years. Neighborhood Villas broke ground in 2016, giving seniors 19 maintenance-free independent living condos for folks who want the freedom of their own space but like knowing help's nearby if they need it, so you can have a quiet life and not worry about upkeep. The Meadows got its start in March 2000 with 24 assisted living apartments, and after more people wanted in, they added 6 apartments in 2009, so you can get supportive living without giving up your independence if you need help with daily things, and their focus here is on comfort and support. When someone's dealing with dementia, Marietta's Place has been open since January 2011, set up as a safe haven for people in the early to moderate stages, and they built it to provide added security to prevent wandering and to keep things less confusing, with therapies, housing, and care tailored for memory support. The campus has a calm hospice neighborhood, a lively long-term care wing, memory care, assisted living, and a peaceful independent living layout, plus rehab to home care, and they've made sure all these places have features for comfort and well-being, with family gathering areas and meal services focused on good nutrition and taste. The facility brings staff on duty around the clock, offers devotional and offsite activities for spiritual, social, mental, and physical engagement, and handles healthcare needs including incontinence, diabetic, and non-ambulatory care, along with therapy and wound care. The Good Neighbor Society is a non-profit founded in 1960, employs between 201 and 500 staff, and keeps ties with the Iowa Health Care Association, Iowa Center for Assisted Living, and Iowa Center for Home Care, supporting seniors and their families with resources, easy floor plans, and programs to help connect with the wider community, all backed by reviews from people who've lived or worked there, so you know it's a place people have trusted for decades.
