Halcyon House, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living

Halcyon House, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living, sits in Washington, Iowa, and has served seniors across Southeast Iowa for many years. The community gives older adults many options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, adult day services, palliative care, hospice, and home care, welcoming folks from outside the campus as well. People can choose among studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units, and each is part of the larger campus with landscaped gardens, open indoor spaces, and bright hallways meant to encourage everyone to visit and share time together. The nursing home at Halcyon House has a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the staff provides incontinence care, diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, and other healthcare services. They offer a strong set of programs-Community Nutrition, Intergenerational Programming, Well-Being for the Greater Community-and at-home support like Meals on Wheels and WellAhead: Well-Being at Home, so residents can get help in a way that fits their needs. There's a variety of social opportunities, a wellness center called Well at Wesley, devotional activities, dining services with meals prepared for residents, and lots of offsite outings and enrichment events on the calendar, and folks can always return to their own residence for rest. The organization designs many features for healthy living, including programs focused on nutrition, exercise, and mental wellness, with an emphasis on celebrating mind, body, and spirit. Veterans benefits support is available as well. People can see community reviews, images of the grounds and spaces, detailed care and amenity information, or learn about neighborhood safety, weather, parks, and surrounding health services on the website, which also makes it easy to schedule a tour or reach out with questions. The environment supports volunteers and welcomes involvement from all, keeping a focus on community roots, Christian values, and compassionate care, letting each resident pursue joy through social time, nutritious food, and opportunities to try new things every day.
