8 Continuing Care Communities in Black Hawk County, Iowa

Unhappy care recipient

If all you want is a roof over your head and food prepared for you, go for it. If your personality may not fit a square peg hole or if you or a loved one start to need additional care or even think you might use Cedar Stone as a transition facility I beg you to look elsewhere. We have been lied to multiple times by multiple people in the facility. The care has been lacking, and at times borderline negligent. We have had promises made only for them to be broken. With all the facilities in the Cedar Valley to choose from, I recommend you choose something else.

My mother recently moved into the CedarStone senior living community. It is an absolutely beautiful living environment that rivals any of the best senior living establishments in the area. And it is ALL NEW construction which is just coming online. The staff is professional, attentive, helpful, prompt, and unfailingly kind. Everyone of the staff seems to know my mother’s name. They are genuinely friendly and interested in helping her in every way. And the food is wonderful! CedarStone has many extended services that can be accessed as necessary. I encourage anyone who has a relative In need of assisted-living or who is interested in a senior community to tour CedarStone. You will feel both welcome and impressed.

We decided on Mallard Point for dad, and we just signed the lease yesterday. He'll probably move in next month. We chose it for location mainly to where we live, the location is very much where everything he likes, grocery stores, being just wherever he shops. The rooms were spacious enough for my dad, the staff was very pleasant, but did not have everything that you could have had because of COVID, but it seemed good. There are three meals included, activities that they do amongst the residents, and activities put on by the staff as well, but it's limited right now because of COVID.

Mallard Point was very nice, very clean, they were very nice to us, and we had a very good lunch there. The person during the tour was very good. There are lots of activities.

I'm well settled in Mallard Point. I have been here for two months now. My daughter lives 10 minutes from here. I have a nice-sized one-bedroom apartment. They have an atrium area where you can sit on chairs or couches and visit with other people. They provide just about anything. We eat three meals a day and have activities like music, games, church services, getting your hair fixed, bingo, and coloring group. They also have a chat time where you can go to the activity room and have coffee, which stands out for me. The staff members seem very helpful and hardworking. They are wonderful. I have never heard an unkind word nor seen them do anything that would be considered not nice.
