Primrose Retirement Community
Primrose Retirement Community is a 64-bed senior living campus at 1801 East Kanesville Boulevard in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Administered by Tiffany Eggett and certified as a dementia-specific assisted living program, the facility serves Pottawattamie County with a clinical continuum ranging from independent townhome villas to specialized memory care. The campus maintains a current occupancy rate of approximately 55%, with private room rates starting near $4,900 per month.
State inspection records show a deficiency rate that is 6% more favorable than the Iowa state average. While a May 2024 recertification audit was completed with zero deficiencies, a November 2024 follow-up cited three concerns regarding service plan accuracy and memory care unit door alarms. Long-term data indicate a per-inspection citation rate that is 17% below the state mean, though the community remains a private-pay facility and does not currently participate in Medicare or Medicaid.
On-site nursing, personal aid, and therapy are managed through a 24-hour staffing framework. This model emphasizes individualized cognitive support, addressing various stages of memory loss within a secure environment. Though residents utilize regular wellness monitoring and restorative programs, the rural-style location is car-dependent with a Walk Score of zero. Notably, the facility has maintained its license without any suspensions since it began operations in 2008.
A home-like residential setting is supported by three daily meals and specialized social spaces like a 1950s-style ice cream parlor. Common areas available to residents include a chapel, wellness center, billiard room, and library. The service package also features weekly housekeeping, laundry, and local transportation, alongside pet-friendly housing options that offer quiet views. For convenience, basic cable and Wi-Fi access are fully integrated into the monthly residency costs.
Interested individuals should examine the current protocols for service plan updates and perimeter security during a tour of the grounds. It is recommended to consult with the administrator regarding the specific remedies applied to the 2024 citation findings and to ensure current staffing ratios are sufficient for the resident’s 2026 care requirements.
