Overview of NewAldaya Lifescapes

NewAldaya Lifescapes offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Cedar Falls, IA. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Several care levels are available in one community. That may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to continue living there rather than start over elsewhere. NewAldaya Lifescapes has 112 beds, with a 91% occupancy rate, meaning most beds are occupied. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 53 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse time allocated to each resident.

Residents can use rehabilitation services, a wellness center, fitness classes, and recreational activities within the community. New Day Salon and Spa offers an on-site place for salon and spa services, while Main Street, River Rock Café, Elm’s Pub, and Vern’s General Store provide named destinations for dining, refreshments, and shopping. Religious services are also available at Good Shepherd Chapel.

Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid can help families whose savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence. A Walk Score of 64 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently. Crystal Jasper serves as the administrator.

Does Iowa Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Iowa Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
