Overview of The Keystones of Cedar Rapids

Facebook

The Keystones of Cedar Rapids offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Cedar Rapids, IA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment; independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care; memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since changing care levels may not require leaving the community.

With 30 beds, The Keystones of Cedar Rapids is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. The community is in the Rockwell Drive Northeast neighborhood, and Lynn Nelson serves as administrator. A Walk Score of 33 places the area in a setting dependent on cars, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation to get out independently.
