Overview of Terrace Park Sr Living

Terrace Park Sr Living provides assisted living in Leon, IA. Assisted living offers help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while allowing a resident to maintain a private living space. The 32-bed community may suit someone who needs that support and prefers a smaller setting.

Starting prices are $3,762.50 for a studio and $4,300.00 for a one-bedroom, with the rate corresponding to the selected layout. Studios provide a single private living space, while one-bedroom units provide a separate bedroom. Each unit includes a private kitchenette and bath, so residents have those facilities within their own living space. Medicaid is accepted, giving families an additional payment option for eligible care costs.

Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet to live with them. A Walk Score of 53 is somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be done on foot; a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle some nearby errands independently. Transportation in Leon is provided by Southern Iowa Trolley, giving residents a transportation option within the city. Wellness and activity programs are available for residents to participate in.

Beautician services are available once per week, allowing residents to receive that service at the community rather than arrange an outside appointment. Jonda Mericle serves as the administrator.
