Overview of Southcrest Manor II

Southcrest Manor II is a 32-bed assisted living community at 1102 3rd Avenue SW in Waukon, Iowa. Led by administrator Jennifer Woods, the facility serves Allamakee County under license S0221, providing income-based housing for adults aged 62 and older or disabled individuals. Current occupancy is at 44% with 14 residents, which is lower than the Iowa average. The location is moderately walkable with a Walk Score of 68.

State oversight through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing highlights a record of high regulatory performance. Since 2013, the facility has recorded an annual average of 0.7 deficiencies, performing 84% better than the state average. The most recent recertification in October 2025 resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. No fines, formal enforcement actions, or substantiated complaint investigations appear in the community’s 20-year history.

Daily operations at this campus provide 24-hour nursing coverage and support with activities of daily living. As a HUD Section 8 property, the facility offers rents set at 30% of resident income, ensuring financial access for those on fixed or limited budgets. A single historical compliance issue from 2013 involved gaps in staff background checks and mandatory reporter training, but state records indicate these administrative errors were resolved through an accepted corrective action plan.

The residential environment includes a continental breakfast and optional noon meal programs to support nutritional needs. Residents have access to emergency response systems and scheduled assistance with medication management. While independently operated without a parent entity, the facility has maintained local operations for two decades, serving both seniors and younger disabled adults.

Prospective residents may find this community suitable if they require budget-conscious housing paired with a stable regulatory track record. It is recommended to verify current income qualification requirements and confirm meal program details during a site visit. Interested individuals can contact the administrative office to discuss current openings and ensure the facility’s safety standards meet their 2026 care needs.
