Overview of Timberland Village

Facebook

Timberland Village is a 48-bed assisted living community at 725 Timberland Drive in Story City, Iowa. Administered by Cindi Martin and owned by Bethany Life, the facility serves Story County under license S0162, which remains active through October 29, 2026. The community currently reports 44% occupancy with 21 of 48 beds filled, a figure lower than the Iowa state average of 75.4%. With a Walk Score of 56, the location is considered moderately walkable.

State-level oversight through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing shows a record of high regulatory performance and long-term stability. Since 2004, the facility has recorded 16 total deficiencies across 10 inspections, averaging 0.7 per year, a rate 42% below the state annual average. The four most recent recertifications in 2017, 2019, 2021, and September 2024 all resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero.

Daily clinical services at this 23-year-old campus include catered living and retirement support. While recent data demonstrates consistent compliance, historical records from 2008 identified a violation involving the falsification of initials on a medication administration record. Other past findings from 2004 and 2012 involved delayed cognitive evaluations and gaps in staff food safety training documentation. Professional support is provided in a setting that offers restaurant-style dining, chaplain services, and local transportation.

The residential environment includes diverse housing options such as twin homes and retirement living units. Shared features include a barber and beauty salon and dedicated activity spaces. Although the facility experienced a decline in occupancy from 2015 to 2021, recent figures show a slight increase to 21 residents in 2024. Management has successfully resolved prior documentation and evaluation concerns, according to the streak of clean inspections maintained over the last seven years.

Prospective residents should weigh the community’s established 23-year history and strong recent compliance against its ongoing occupancy challenges. It is recommended to verify the current schedule for cognitive evaluations and service plan updates during an on-site visit. Interested individuals can contact the Story City office to discuss the various living models and to ensure the facility’s clinical protocols meet their 2026 care expectations.
