Stanard Family Assisted Living Center

Stanard Family Assisted Living Center sits at 420 E 11th St in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on the corner of 11th and Grove St, right on the same campus as a skilled nursing center, other retirement communities, villas, and townhomes, so residents can get many levels of care in one place. The main building was first built in 1912 by the Evangelical United Brethren church and now holds modern assisted living, independent living, and nursing facilities, including a memory care section for dementia and Alzheimer's care. The Stanard Family Assisted Living Center is part of Western Home Communities, a charitable Christian service organization, so it has a long tradition of service and care. The center serves almost 800 residents with the help of about 500 staff, offering 170 assisted living units, all with semi-private living quarters, spacious closets, and appliances, plus laundry and housekeeping services. Residents can bring cats or dogs, and there's lots to do with planned arts and crafts, parties, daily activities, and even a theatre room and computer classes. The campus has good security, visitor parking, and community spaces like Jorgensen Plaza and dining halls where chefs prepare meals, and there are staff available to help with everything from medication, diabetes, memory care, and Parkinson's care to daily tasks like showering, dressing, or moving around, plus a licensed nurse always on call. Stanard Family Assisted Living Center helps families too, with counseling and personal request services, and residents get scheduled doctor checkups and access to non-medical services through Western Home Care. The campus sits near four places of worship, eight parks, two theaters, four cafes, 42 restaurants, eight pharmacies, 25 physicians, and seven hospitals, so there's plenty nearby for recreation and healthcare. Residents have access to on-site and off-site activities, meal planning, and a Resident Portal and Fortified Life Portal, helping them stay involved and connected. Services at Stanard Family Assisted Living Center focus on helping with everyday needs while encouraging a vibrant, convenient community for seniors in Cedar Falls.
