Overview of Homestead of Denison

Facebook

Homestead of Denison is a 43-bed assisted living facility at 2506 3rd Avenue North in Denison, Iowa. Administered by Ashlee Killian, the community serves Crawford County and has been in operation for 27 years. The property currently reports a 58% occupancy rate with 25 residents, a figure below the Iowa state average of 75.4%. Given its central location and a Walk Score of 33, residents generally rely on transportation for errands and medical appointments.

Over 16 years, the facility has recorded an annual average of 0.6 deficiencies, which is 67% lower than the state benchmark. Most recently, the May 2025 recertification survey resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While a 2019 complaint was substantiated regarding guardian notification, more recent state reviews indicate these isolated administrative gaps have been addressed.

Clinical care is delivered by 24-hour staffing, including licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. The campus provides a broad range of services such as skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, and hospice care. Professional support includes specialized memory care and outpatient therapy programs tailored for seniors and individuals with disabilities. CMS metrics for similar regional care models show that these multi-level services support resident transitions as medical needs evolve.

The residential environment features private and companion suites with roll-in showers and upscale furnishings. Shared social features include free Wi-Fi, communal dining areas, and organized activities designed for a home-like feel. The facility also offers respite care options for families requiring temporary support. Because the community is located just 0.4 miles from Crawford County Memorial Hospital, residents have quick access to emergency and specialized clinical consultations.

This environment suits seniors seeking small-scale assisted living with integrated medical and rehabilitation services. Families evaluating Homestead of Denison should ask directly about the specific results of the 2025 zero-deficiency survey and confirm current nurse-to-resident ratios for the memory care wing before making a placement decision.
