Overview of Grand Living at Indian Creek

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest

Grand Living at Indian Creek is a 64-bed assisted living facility at 325 Collins Road SE in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Administered by Dara Fishnick, the community offers a continuum of care including independent living, assisted living, and a dedicated “Luminations” memory care program under license S0401. The facility currently reports approximately 47% occupancy with 30 residents, which is significantly lower than the state average of 75.4%. Its location carries a Walk Score of 44, making the community’s chauffeured transportation necessary for most local errands.

Records from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing indicate a pattern of regulatory challenges. Since 2019, the campus has recorded 36 total deficiencies, an annual average of 5.1 that exceeds the state benchmark by 31%. A February 2025 inspection identified nine deficiencies, including unsecured narcotics and failures in fall response protocols. While no fines have been issued, earlier audits between 2021 and 2022 documented issues with staff training and incomplete background checks.

Care delivery at this facility is supported by a wellness center and professional staff available for 24-hour assistance. Recent state evaluations cited medication administration errors affecting multiple residents and incomplete service plan reviews. Despite these documentation gaps, the facility achieved a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for more severe “immediate jeopardy” categories in its most recent major survey. The care model emphasizes aging in place, allowing residents to receive increased support without changing apartments.

The residential environment is modeled after a hotel, featuring multiple dining venues, a grand library, and a private chapel. Shared amenities include a “Legends Club,” a spa, and an auditorium for social entertainment. While the building was sold in August 2025 as a “Class-A” asset, internal employee reviews highlight concerns regarding management stability and occasional food supply issues. The comunity remains pet-friendly and continues to offer diverse fitness and arts programs.

This environment suits seniors seeking a high-amenity, resort-style campus with integrated care transitions. Families evaluating Grand Living at Indian Creek should ask directly about the corrective actions taken following the February 2025 medication security citations and request a copy of the current staff training log for dementia care before making a placement decision.
