Overview of Community Memorial Al
Community Memorial Assisted Living is a 32-bed senior living community at 233 North 8th Avenue West in Hartley, Iowa. Managed by Kay Wynja and part of the Community Memorial Health Center campus, the facility provides assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care under a license valid through July 2026. Current data indicates a census of five residents, representing a 16% occupancy rate, which is below the state average of 75.4%. The location holds a Walk Score of 43, suggesting that most errands require transportation provided by the facility.
Regulatory records from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing reflect a strong compliance history over the last 14 years. The most recent recertification in July 2025 resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While a 2015 review noted a citation regarding the timeliness of tenant evaluations, the facility has recorded no deficiencies in its last five major surveys. During this period, there have been no documented fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions.
Clinical care is supported by 24-hour on-site staffing and an integrated medical clinic with X-ray services. Professional services include medication management, health monitoring, and specialized physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Residents benefit from priority admission to the adjacent skilled nursing and rehabilitation wing if health needs change. Staffing metrics for the health center show nurse hours exceeding state averages, providing four hours and two minutes of care per resident daily.
The residential environment includes private apartments with kitchenettes, emergency call pendants, and access to a whirlpool bathing suite. Shared amenities feature a beauty salon, garden patio, and communal dining areas where three meals are served daily. Housekeeping, laundry, and all utilities except telephone service are included in the monthly fees. Social engagement is facilitated through a rotation of planned recreational activities and 24-hour visiting availability.
Prospective residents seeking a small-scale community with an on-site medical clinic and a long-term record of regulatory excellence may find this campus suitable. Families should ask directly about the specific staffing ratios for the memory care neighborhood and confirm current availability for private suites before making a placement decision.
