Overview of Bavarian Meadows

Facebook

Bavarian Meadows provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Remsen, IA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident who may be at risk of wandering, and the range of care levels may suit someone whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 44 beds. Residents can use the salon and spa on site, enjoy chef-inspired meals, and take part in crafts and games. A Walk Score of 49 places Bavarian Meadows in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. Kerry Sudtelgte serves as the administrator.
