Overview of Maggie’s House Assisted Living

Facebook Instagram

Maggie’s House Assisted Living is a 40-bed community at 107 East 2nd Street in DeWitt, Iowa. Administered by JoElla O’Connell, the facility serves Clinton County under license S0089, valid through July 2026. The community reports approximately 50% occupancy with 20 residents, featuring private and shared bedroom options. Its central location earns a Walk Score of 79, providing seniors with easy access to nearby pharmacies, cafes, and local medical offices.

Oversight records from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing show a trend of high regulatory performance in recent years. Over two decades of monitoring, the campus has recorded an annual average of 0.7 deficiencies, which is 41% lower than the state benchmark. Most recently, the January 2025 recertification concluded with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This flawless outcome marks the third consecutive major review without a regulatory violation for the community.

Bedside care is provided by a 24-hour team that includes a full-time licensed nurse on-site during weekdays. While the recent history is clear, past investigations in 2009 and 2011 resulted in fines for medication management and monitoring lapses. Current professional services are divided into “self-directing,” “assisted,” and “enhanced” living tiers, allowing for personalized support with daily activities, incontinence care, and dementia monitoring.

The residential environment emphasizes a communal atmosphere with family-style, home-cooked meals served three times daily. Shared amenities include a beauty salon, a whirlpool, and emergency call systems in every apartment. Social engagement is facilitated through a rotation of bus tours, educational workshops, and wellness programs designed around resident feedback. Monthly estimated costs range from approximately $3,550 for shared rooms to $4,790 for private suites.

This environment suits individuals looking for highly personalized care in a small-scale, walkable setting. Prospective representatives evaluating Maggie’s House Assisted Living should ask directly about the specific staffing ratios for “enhanced living” tiers and request recent records regarding the frequency of “I’m Okay” wellness checks before making a placement decision.
