Overview of Homesteaders at Holland Farms

Homesteaders at Holland Farms offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Norwalk, IA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps their own apartment, independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The community opened in 2021 and has 80 beds. Its range of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, since changing care can happen without leaving the community. Respite care is available for short stays, which can suit a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover.

Residents can watch films in the in-house movie theatre, visit the bistro, and use walking trails within the community. A Walk Score of 70 places the area in the very walkable band, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Blake Dodd serves as the administrator.
