Terrace Glen Village in Marion, IA, has four types of care. Skilled nursing and a nursing home come first, followed by independent living and assisted living. With skilled nursing included in the four, the facility has licensed nurses on duty during every shift, including nights.
Residents of assisted living rely on the team for baths, dressing, and medication schedules. In independent living, a resident maintains a personal space and uses community services, with no daily assistance given. A person may come requiring little and later move up a level without packing for another address.
Having 40 beds keeps it a small home, allowing staff to quickly learn the names of the residents. Nurse staffing accounts for 4 hours and 49 minutes daily for every resident. Pets are allowed upon move-in, and Steve Tressel runs the home as its administrator.
Payment comes via Medicare or private pay. Medicare has restrictions, covering skilled nursing only for a limited period after a hospital discharge and nothing after that.
