Overview of Scenic Manor

In Iowa Falls, IA, Scenic Manor offers four care types. They are independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care.

Independent living is private living with community services and no daily care. Assisted living adds help with specific tasks like bathing and dressing, and doesn’t interfere with a resident’s privacy further. Nursing home and skilled nursing mean licensed nurses are maintained on the floor around the clock, which is why the range works as a single address.

Seventy-seven beds are at Scenic Manor, and the offerings it has suit a resident whose needs will grow but who doesn’t want to move elsewhere. Someone needing skilled rehabilitation briefly can use the short term-rehabilitation program.

The nursing behind one resident, in an average day, works out to 4 hours and 29 minutes. Rehabilitation services carry the therapy side.

A Walk Score of 60 sets the area at somewhat walkable, so a few errands are reachable on foot, and a resident who has stopped driving manages certain ones alone. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are all acceptable payment options. Medicaid is for when savings aren’t going to cover a long stay, and Medicare is for when skilled care is needed following a discharge from a hospital stay.
