Silver Palms
Silver Palms provides assisted living in Mount Pleasant, IA. Residents can receive help with daily tasks while keeping their own routines and independence.
With 38 beds, the community is smaller in size, which may suit someone who prefers a setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. A Walk Score of 58 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby destinations independently. Pets are allowed, meaning a resident may bring a pet when moving in. Sheila Matheney serves as the administrator.
