Overview of Silveridge, an Eventide Community

Silveridge, an Eventide Community, offers nursing home care, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, nursing care, and skilled nursing in Denison, IA. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Nursing home care, nursing care, and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Hospice care focuses on comfort at the end of life. The community has 72 beds and opened in 2011, with assisted living apartments available alongside personal and health related services so residents can receive support with routine and health needs as part of their care.

Rehabilitation services support recovery, while short term rehabilitation is designed for a temporary stay rather than ongoing residence. Respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Twenty four hour staffing means staff are present around the clock.

A Walk Score of 33 places the area in the car dependent band, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Kara Webb serves as administrator, and the range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time because care can continue within the same community.
