Overview of Homestead of Albia

Homestead of Albia is a 70-bed assisted living facility at 6592 165th Street in Albia, Iowa. Managed by Amanda Atwell, the community serves Monroe County under a license valid through 2026. Current data shows a 43% occupancy rate with 30 residents, which is lower than the Iowa state average of 75.4%. The property is located near the Monroe County Hospital and holds a Walk Score of 55, indicating that some errands can be completed on foot.

Over 13 years of oversight, the campus has averaged 1.3 deficiencies per year, outperforming the state average by 37%. Most recently, the August 18, 2025, recertification concluded with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This clean record followed the resolution of an earlier 2025 complaint regarding medication policy and pest remediation.

Clinical care is delivered by a professional team that provides medication management and personalized assistance with daily activities. Professional support includes help with bathing and dressing, with staff available 24 hours a day to monitor residents with both cognitive and functional needs. While past reviews in 2023 identified gaps in service plan documentation and staff background verification, state monitors have since verified that these administrative standards are now being met.

The residential environment features private apartments with kitchenettes and access to communal fireside lounges. Shared social features include home-cooked meals, weekly housekeeping, and scheduled transportation for non-medical outings. Resident engagement is supported through arts and crafts centers, Bible study groups, and organized day trips. Estimated monthly costs for an assisted living private room start at approximately $5,300, which is slightly above the regional average for the Albia area.

Prospective families evaluating Homestead of Albia should ask directly about the specific medication safety protocols implemented after the March 2025 complaint and request a copy of the most recent facility-wide pest inspection report before making a placement decision.
