Assisted Living · Iowa City, IA
Navigate Mc at Featherstone at Hickory Trail is a 32-bed memory care facility that launched in August 2024 at 2450 Hickory Trail, Iowa City, Iowa, in Johnson County. Administered by Tracy Sherzer, the community operates under Iowa Assisted Living Programs for People with Dementia license S0492, issued August 15, 2024, and active through August 15, 2026. Because the facility is a recent addition to the state’s healthcare landscape, the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing has not yet published routine inspection records; consequently, the citations-per-inspection rate is currently zero.
The campus provides 24-hour staffing, licensed nursing care, and various rehabilitation services. Residents have access to bird-themed floor plans, including the Sparrow studio, Dunlin one-bedroom, and the Branta or Sandhill two-bedroom units. While the site features professional catering and wellness programming, available records do not currently specify Medicaid or Medicare participation, occupancy metrics, or specific pricing.
Interested individuals should consider the community’s status as a startup operation when reviewing its regulatory profile. Since there is no established history of deficiency reports to evaluate performance, a direct visit is recommended to verify staffing credentials and dementia-specific protocols. Inquiries regarding the current admission process or the timeline for the first routine state evaluation can be made through the administrative office at (319) 595-2270.
