Overview of Meadowview of Johnston

Meadowview of Johnston offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Johnston, IA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space; 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.

Having all three care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. The community has 170 beds, placing it among larger communities with more residents, staff, and usually more programming.

Restaurant style dining with chef inspired meals gives residents an on site dining setting, while the fitness center, movie theater, and salon or barber shop support exercise, entertainment, and personal grooming within the community. Residents can use the courtyard patio with a fire pit as an outdoor gathering space, and pets are allowed, so residents with pets can keep them with them; Michele Forbes serves as the administrator.
