Willows of Marshalltown Assisted Living
Willows of Marshalltown Assisted Living offers assisted living and memory care in Marshalltown, IA. Assisted living provides personal care and medication assistance while residents live in their own apartments, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels on one campus can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.
Opened in 2018, the community has 66 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides a single private living space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together. Jennifer Stanley serves as the administrator.
Residents can choose chef-prepared meals served at the table, and the 7,000-square-foot garden courtyard provides walking paths, benches, and a raised planter bed for outdoor time. An events calendar includes socializing, learning, exercise, and entertainment, while the salon, barber, pool, and movie theater provide additional on-site activities and services. An 85 / 100 Walk Score places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
