Overview of The Willows of Marshalltown

The Willows of Marshalltown offers assisted living and memory care in Marshalltown, IA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space; memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Offering both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since a move to a different level of care may not require leaving the community. The 48-bed size makes The Willows of Marshalltown a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Housing options include studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments, giving a resident a single private space or allowing a couple or companion to move in together. Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a pet. Jennifer Stanley serves as the administrator.
