Silver Palms
Silver Palms is a 38-bed assisted living facility at 2000 South Grand Avenue in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Administered by Sheila Matheney, the community serves Henry County under a license valid through May 2028. Current data shows a 45% occupancy rate with 17 residents, reflecting a trend of steady growth since the facility opened in 2018. The location holds a Walk Score of 58, indicating a moderately walkable environment with some nearby amenities.
Since its 2018 launch, the campus has averaged 1.3 deficiencies annually, a figure 70% lower than the state benchmark. Most recently, the June 2024 recertification concluded with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This performance follows a 2021 period where a complaint investigation also resulted in zero findings, suggesting sustained attention to state standards.
Daily clinical activities center on fostering resident autonomy through individualized support programs. While the latest results are clean, a 2021 review noted two deficiencies regarding unupdated health assessments after a resident’s status changed and documentation gaps concerning food allergies. The care team operates during standard daily hours to manage these clinical requirements and ensure dietary needs are integrated into service plans.
The physical setting provides a small-scale, residential atmosphere that functions without a corporate parent organization. Management has effectively resolved earlier administrative gaps from 2018 involving nurse delegation training and incident record-keeping. Shared spaces and common areas are maintained to support a community-focused model for seniors who value a home-like environment.
Interested individuals should consider the facility’s recent perfect inspection score as evidence of operational maturity. It is advisable to inquire about current procedures for monitoring health status changes to ensure the 2021 documentation errors have been fully addressed. Families may contact the administrative team to verify current availability and confirm that the facility’s support model aligns with their 2026 care expectations.
