Overview of Garden View Place

Jerica Miller administers Garden View Place, a 76-bed senior community located on Darby Drive in rural Monona, Iowa. The facility specializes in memory care and dementia support, utilizing an apartment-style layout. The single-story building design allows residents to move freely between their private apartments and the communal dining areas without using stairs.

The everyday schedule combines housing, prepared meals, housekeeping, laundry services, and monitored security with structured memory care activities and local transportation. State regulatory records show an improved operational trajectory; following a 2015 medication management correction, inspections across 2023, 2024, and 2025 all concluded with zero deficiencies.

The community currently operates at a 37 percent occupancy rate. With a walkability score of 11 out of 100, the rural neighborhood requires staff and visitors to utilize a vehicle for local errands. Interested individuals looking for private-pay dementia care can contact the admissions department to verify current apartment availability.
