Garden View

Overview of Garden View

Garden View is a 72-bed assisted living facility at 502 South Maple Street in Carroll, Iowa. Administered by Jaycie Schwenk and affiliated with St. Anthony Regional Hospital, the community operates under license S0438, which is valid through June 2026. Current data indicates a census of 35 residents, representing a 49% occupancy rate, which is below the Iowa state average of 75.4%. The property holds a Walk Score of 80, placing it within foot access of pharmacies, cafes, and essential medical services in downtown Carroll.

Regulatory records from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing indicate a flawless compliance history since the facility opened in 2018. The community has achieved a citations-per-inspection rate of zero across all major state reviews, including its most recent recertification in March 2025. No substantiated complaints, fines, or enforcement actions are documented in the facility’s eight-year operational history.

Clinical care is delivered by a 24-hour team of licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants who focus on a personalized, home-centered model. Professional services include medication management and assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing and bathing, tailored to individual health assessments. While the facility generally does not allow pets, its integrated healthcare connection provides residents with simplified access to the broader diagnostic and rehabilitative services of the adjacent hospital campus.

The residential environment is designed to avoid an institutional feel, featuring spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes. Shared amenities include home-cooked meals with dietary accommodations, social activity rooms, and a relaxing spa room with a whirlpool tub. The facility provides housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled local transportation for those who prefer not to walk. Monthly costs are estimated to start near $4,793, which covers 24-hour staffing and regular wellness monitoring.

Prospective residents seeking a small-scale community with a perfect regulatory record and high walkability may find this setting appropriate. Families should ask directly about the specific coordination of emergency services between the assisted living wing and the hospital to ensure a clear understanding of safety protocols before making a final decision.
