Hansen House
Hansen House is a 54-bed assisted living and memory care facility at 2331 Nash Boulevard in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Administered by Cassie Erwin, the community serves Pottawattamie County under an active Iowa Assisted Living Programs for People with Dementia license (S0330) issued September 21, 2012, and valid through September 22, 2026. The location is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 18, meaning most daily errands require a vehicle.
State oversight through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing reveals a long-term history of high regulatory compliance. Since 2013, the facility has undergone 12 inspections resulting in eight total deficiencies, a rate of 0.6 per year which is 71% below the state average. The two most recent evaluations, an August 2025 complaint investigation and an October 2024 recertification, both resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Previous findings from 2021 and 2022 involved issues with nursing assessments following resident falls and documentation regarding dental and foot care for residents with cognitive impairments.
Professional care is provided in a setting that has operated for 15 years, offering specialized memory care and life enrichment programming. Current records show an occupancy rate of 54%, with 29 of 54 beds filled, which is lower than the Iowa state average of 75.4%. While the facility maintains a consistent record of corrective actions, available data does not specify pricing tiers, payment options, or participation in Medicaid and Medicare programs.
The campus environment is locally owned and emphasizes a residential model focused on resident choice and flexibility. Early inspections from 2013 and 2014 noted foundational gaps including incomplete staff background checks and exit door alarm system issues, though these were resolved in subsequent years as the operation matured. The community currently operates without any recorded fines or enforcement actions.
Interested individuals should consider the facility’s strong compliance record and 15-year operational history when evaluating care options. It is recommended to verify current medication and personal care documentation protocols during a site visit to ensure past administrative gaps remain corrected. Families may contact the administrative office at (712) 242-5734 for specific details on admissions and pricing for 2026.
