Maggie’s House Assisted Living

Overview of Maggie’s House Assisted Living

Maggie’s House Assisted Living provides assisted living in Dewitt, IA. Residents receive help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while keeping their own living space. Opened in 2011, the community has 40 beds, placing it in the smaller community range for someone who prefers a setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Units include one bedroom and two bedroom layouts. The two bedroom option can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Home cooked meals are served daily, and exercise and wellness programs, a whirlpool, and a beauty and barber shop support personal routines and activities on site. There is plenty scheduled. Life enrichment activities, bus tours, cultural opportunities, educational workshops, and spiritual opportunities give residents ways to take part in recreation, learning, outings, and reflection.

A Walk Score of 79 places the area in the very walkable range, meaning most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still reach nearby destinations independently. Chrissy Loose serves as administrator, and a doctor is on staff.
